SCHEDULE 13D
| CUSIP No. 256603 101 | Page 5 of 7 Pages |
This Amendment No. 20 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 9, 2009 by the Reporting Persons, as previously amended (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment, and the Original Schedule 13D, relate to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Dole Food Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at One Dole Drive, Westlake Village, California 91362. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended, is not amended or supplemented in any respect.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
On October 31, 2013, at a special meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders, the holders of (i) a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock not beneficially owned by Parent, Purchaser, Mr. Murdock, or their respective affiliates, or by the directors and executive officers of the Issuer, voted to adopt the Merger Agreement.
On November 1, 2013, the Issuer filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Purchaser was merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into the right to receive $13.50 in cash, other than (i) shares held at the Effective Time by Parent, Purchaser, Mr. Murdock, or their respective affiliates, or by the Issuer and its subsidiaries, all of which shares were cancelled without payment, and (ii) shares held by stockholders who properly demanded and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law. Each stock option (other than those held by Mr. Murdock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was converted into the right to receive cash (without interest and net of applicable withholding taxes) in an amount equal to the product of (a) $13.50, minus the applicable exercise price per share of the option, and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the option, which amount will be paid within 15 days after the Effective Time. Each restricted stock award and restricted stock unit (“RSU”) (including both time-based RSUs and performance shares, which are performance-based RSUs) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive cash (without interest and net of applicable withholding taxes) in an amount equal to the product of (x) $13.50, and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such award, which amount will be paid within 15 days after the vesting date of the applicable award, subject to the continued employment of the holder thereof with the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries through the vesting date and the achievement of the applicable performance metric, if any (which performance metric is subject to adjustment in connection with the Merger).
At the Effective Time, the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent with 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, par value $0.001 per share (the “Surviving Company Common Stock”), and the separate corporate existence of Purchaser ceased.
On November 4, 2013, as a result of the Merger, the Common Stock ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) before the open of the market and the Issuer became eligible for delisting from the NYSE and termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). On such date, the NYSE filed a Form 25 with the SEC to notify the SEC of the delisting of the Common Stock from the NYSE and the deregistration of the Common Stock.
The Issuer intends to terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by promptly filing a Form 15 with the SEC. The Issuer’s obligations to file or furnish certain reports and forms with the SEC will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will cease once the deregistration becomes effective.
