Item 1. General Information. (a) The Registrant was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 5, 1994. (b) The Registrant's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest December 31. Item 2. Transaction of Succession. (a) At the time of succession, the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Doskocil Companies Incorporated, the predecessor of the Registrant ("Doskocil"), was registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (the "Doskocil Common Stock"). (b) On May 16, 1995, Doskocil was merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving entity (the "Merger"). The information set forth under the headings "The Annual Meeting -- Outstanding Options; Warrants; Other Rights" and "Proposal III. The Merger" in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus") that constitutes a part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 33-57773) is incorporated herein by reference. In connection with the Merger, the Registrant assumed Doskocil's duties and obligations under the 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Redeemable Securities due 2000. Item 3. Securities to be Registered. The total number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Registrant (the "Common Stock") is 20,000,000, of which 12,433,705 are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. There are no shares of Common Stock held in treasury. Item 4. Description of Registrant's Securities to Be Registered. The Common Stock is substantially identical in all material respects to the Doskocil Common Stock. The information set forth under Item 3 hereof is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, there are approximately 3,133 holders of record of the Common Stock. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive, pro rata, dividends, when, if and as declared by the Board of Directors from any funds lawfully available therefor. However, the Registrant's ability to declare and pay dividends on the Common Stock is limited by the terms of the Credit Agreement among Doskocil, the Several Lenders from Time to Time Parties Thereto and Chemical Bank, as Agent, dated as of May 25, 1994 (the "Credit Agreement"). In connection with the Merger, the Registrant has succeeded to the rights and obligations of Doskocil under the Credit Agreement. 1
8-B12G3rd Page of 13TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 3rd
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Registrant, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to participate ratably in the distribution of assets remaining after payment of liabilities. The Common Stock does not have any preemptive rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions. The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote at all meetings of stockholders of the Registrant for election of directors and for other purposes. Holders have one vote for each share of Common Stock held. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights, thus holders of more than 50% of the shares voting can elect all directors. On October 31, 1991, Doskocil entered into a warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") pursuant to which Doskocil issued warrants to purchase up to 193,066 shares of the Doskocil Common Stock at a price of $17.53 per share. The Registrant is subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement to the Warrant Agreement dated as of May 16, 1995. Warrants may be exercised at any time before their expiration on December 31, 1998. The number of shares subject to warrants is subject to adjustment. As of the date hereof, warrants to purchase 282,036 shares were outstanding. The Warrant Agreement prohibits the declaration or payment of any dividend or distribution on the Common Stock unless the Registrant pays to the warrant holders the amount of any such dividend or distribution receivable by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such warrants might have been exercised immediately prior to the declaration or payment of the dividend or distribution. In addition, if any person or group acquires the power to vote more than 30% of the Common Stock, the Warrant Agreement provides that warrant holders may require the Registrant to repurchase the warrants at the then-current market price of the Common Stock less the warrant price, which requirement was waived in connection with certain acquisitions of the Doskocil Common Stock by Joseph Littlejohn & Levy Fund, L.P. and its affiliates ("JLL"). Certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Credit Agreement may delay, deter or prevent a stockholder or group of stockholders from taking corporate action or gaining control of the Registrant. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires the Registrant's Board of Directors to be divided into three classes, with directors in each class serving successive three-year terms. The information set forth under the headings "Proposal I. Election of Directors" and "Proposal III. The Merger -- Preservation of Tax Benefits" in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference. The Credit Agreement provides 2
8-B12G4th Page of 13TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 4th
that an event of default shall occur thereunder if any person or group (excluding JLL), as defined in the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, beneficially owns or holds the power to vote more than 30% (or, if JLL owns at least 15% of the outstanding Common Stock, 50%) of the outstanding Common Stock. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("Section 203") prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless (i) prior to the date of the business combination, the transaction is approved by the corporation's board of directors, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock, or (iii) on or after such date the business combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. The Registrant is subject to Section 203. The information set forth under the headings "The Annual Meeting -- Outstanding Warrants; Options; Other Rights" and "Proposal III. The Merger" in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is incorporated herein by reference. Item 5. Financial Statements and Exhibits. (a) Financial Statements.
