Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
This Amendment No. 25 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Bandag, Incorporated, an Iowa corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed to reflect the merger of Grip Acquisition Corporation (“Grip”) into the Issuer, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 5, 2006, by and among the Issuer, Grip and Bridgestone Americas Holding, Inc. (“Bridgestone”). The merger was effective as of 11:59 p.m., Central Daylight Time, on May 31, 2007. As a result of the merger, the Issuer became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bridgestone, and each share of Common Stock was converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $50.75 per share (the “Merger Consideration”).
In connection with the merger, outstanding equity awards, including equity awards held by the reporting persons, were converted into the right to receive the following:
• | each holder of stock options (whether or not exercisable or vested) will receive an amount (subject to any applicable withholding tax) in cash equal to the product of (1) the excess, if any, of (a) the Merger Consideration over (b) the exercise price per share of such stock option, multiplied by (2) the number of shares subject to such stock option (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded up to the nearest whole cent); |
• | each holder of Issuer stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) (whether or not exercisable or vested) will receive an amount (subject to any applicable withholding tax) in cash equal to the product of (1) the excess, if any, of (a) the Merger Consideration over (b) the exercise price per share of such SAR multiplied by (2) the number of shares subject to such SAR (with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded up to the nearest whole cent); |
• | each holder of restricted stock (whether or not vested) will receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, without interest, in respect of each cancelled share of restricted stock; |
• | each holder of Issuer restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (whether or not vested) will receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, without interest, in respect of each cancelled RSU; |
• | each holder of Issuer performance units (“PUs”) (whether or not vested), will receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the Merger Consideration, without interest, in respect of each cancelled PU, multiplied by (2) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of whole months that have elapsed from the beginning of the performance period to which the PU is subject to the date of the effective time of the merger and the dominator of which is the number of whole months in such performance period; and |
• | each Issuer dividend equivalent unit outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger pursuant to the common equity award plans, whether or not then exercisable or vested, will, at the effective time of the merger, be fully vested and paid. |
The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 2905 North Highway 61, Muscatine, Iowa 52761.
