Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. -------------------------------------------------- Not applicable. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ---------------------- On March 29, 2001 KKTY Holding Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase and Recapitalization Agreement (the "Recapitalization Agreement") with the Issuer pursuant to which the KKTY Holding Company has agreed to (i) make a cash tender offer (the "Offer") to buy up to 2,500,000 Shares at a price of $8.00 per Share and (ii) buy from the Issuer 400,000 shares of newly issued Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") at $100 per share (the "Preferred Stock Purchase"). The Recapitalization Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. For each Preferred Share converted, KKTY Holding Company will receive 12.5 shares of Common Stock, which ratio will be adjusted for any stock split, stock combination, stock dividend or other recapitalization and will be subject to protection provisions in the event of certain dilutive transactions. KKTY Holding Company may convert, at its option, at any time after the earlier of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement; (ii) the approval by the Issuer's Board of Directors of a merger, consolidation or other business combination between the Issuer and another entity (except where the Issuer is the surviving entity and no change of control of the Issuer occurs as a result of the transaction) or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuer's assets; (iii) the authorization by the Issuer's Board of Directors of, or other corporate action taken to effect, the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer; and (iv) the solicitation of proxies from the holders of any class or classes of capital stock of the Issuer for any annual or special meeting of stockholders, however called, at which an election for directors of the Issuer is held, or any solicitation of written consent of the holders of any class or classes of capital stock of the Issuer with respect to the election of directors, against the election as director of any KKTY Holding Company designee or for removal of any incumbent KKTY Holding Company designee. Except as required by law, KKTY Holding Company shall have no voting rights with respect to the Preferred Shares. The Issuer shall not, without first obtaining the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Shares: (i) authorize or issue any class or series of equity security having equal or superior rights as to payment upon liquidation, dissolution or a winding up of the Issuer; (ii) amend its Page 10 of 15 Pages Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in any way, or enter into a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, in any case which adversely affects the rights and preferences of the holders of Preferred Shares as a class (except that the Issuer may complete a reverse-split of its Common Stock without the consent of the holders of the Preferred Shares) or (iii) engage in any transaction which would impair or reduce the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares as a class. KKTY Holding Company would own approximately 55% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated on a fully diluted basis assuming that (i) KKTY Holding Company purchases 2,500,000 Shares in the Offer, and (ii) KKTY Holding Company completes the Preferred Stock Purchase and the Preferred Shares are converted into Shares of Common Stock. In connection with the Offer and the Preferred Stock Purchase, KKTY Holding Company entered into a Stock Voting and Tender Agreement with the certain members of the Wallace E. Carroll, Jr. family, trusts for the benefit of family members and entities associated with the Carroll family (collectively, the "Agreement Stockholders"), dated as of March 29, 2001 (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which the Agreement Stockholders have agreed to collectively tender at least 1,500,000 Shares to KKTY Holding Company in connection with the Offer and vote 2,500,000 Shares in favor of or against certain proposals relating to the Offer, the Preferred Stock Purchase and the Recapitalization Agreement that the Agreement Stockholders may be requested to vote upon at an annual or special meeting of the Issuer's stockholders or in connection with any consent solicitation in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement. After the Offer is consummated, the Reporting Persons will no longer have any voting or other rights, shared or otherwise, with respect to the Shares subject to the Voting Agreement, except for the 1,500,000 Shares that will be purchased pursuant to the Offer. Until such purchase upon the consummation of the Offer, the Reporting Persons will have no dispositive power with respect to any of the Shares. The Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 9.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 17,000 Shares beneficially owned by William F. Andrews, a director of the Issuer and a principal of Kohlberg & Co. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Andrews. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------------------- (a) See Rows 11 and 13 of the Cover Pages. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons set forth on Appendix A, beneficially owns any Shares. (b) See Rows 7 through 10 of the Cover Pages. Each of the Reporting Persons has, together with the other Reporting Persons and the Agreement Stockholders, the shared power to vote or direct the vote and the shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Shares reported by it or him in Item 5(a). (c) Except for the 2,500,000 Shares subject to the Voting Agreement described in Item 4, during the past 60 days, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of any of the Page 11 of 15 Pages Reporting Persons, any of the persons set forth on Appendix A, has effected any transactions in the Shares. (d) To the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Agreement Stockholders has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares reported in Item 5(a). (e) Not applicable. Item 6 Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securities of the Issuer. ------------------------ Except for the arrangements described in Item 4 above, to the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2, or between such persons and any other person, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
