EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 2 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed solely for the purpose of including Exhibit (c)(2) to the Schedule 13E-3, which was inadvertently omitted from Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13E-3. No other changes or additions are being made hereby to the Schedule 13E-3.

 

 
 

 

Introduction

 

This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement, together with the exhibits hereto (“Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by (i) Frederick’s of Hollywood Group Inc. (the “Company”), a New York corporation and the issuer of the shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), that are subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (ii) Philip A. Falcone, a United States citizen; (iii) Harbinger Group Inc. (“HGI”), a Delaware corporation (iv) FOHG Holdings, LLC (“Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company; (v) FOHG Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a New York corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; (vi) HGI Funding, LLC (“HGIF”), a Delaware limited liability company; (vii) Tokarz Investments, LLC (“Tokarz”), a Delaware limited liability company; (viii) TTG Apparel, LLC (“TTG”), a Delaware limited liability company; (ix) Fursa Alternative Strategies LLC (“Fursa”), a Delaware limited liability company; (x) Arsenal Group, LLC (“Arsenal”), a Delaware limited liability company; (xi) William F. Harley (“Mr. Harley,” and together with (vi) through (xi), the “Rollover Shareholders”); and (xii) Michael T. Tokarz (“Mr. Tokarz”).

 

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 18, 2013, by and among the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). If the conditions to the closing of the merger are either satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under New York law as the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Upon completion of the Merger, the Common Stock, other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive $0.27 per share in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. Following the completion of the Merger, the Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded, and holders (other than the Rollover Shareholders) of the Common Stock that has been converted will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company.

 

Acting upon the recommendation of the Lead Director, the Company’s board of directors (other than Messrs. Harley and Lynch, who recused themselves from the deliberations because they have interests in the Merger different from the interests of the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders) generally determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger) are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the unaffiliated shareholders, approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and recommended approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of the Company. The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate voting power of Common Stock held by shareholders. Because the Rollover Shareholders beneficially hold more than two-thirds of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of the record date, they can satisfy the required vote under New York law and the Merger Agreement to approve the Merger and adopt the Merger Agreement without the affirmative vote of any of the Company’s other shareholders.

 

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors is soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company in connection with the Merger. The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference.

Except, as disclosed below, during the past five years, none of the persons or entities described above have been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) party to any judicial or administrative proceeding (except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement) that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws.

 

On September 18, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a final judgment (the “Final Judgment”) approving a settlement between the SEC and Mr. Falcone and Harbinger Capital Partners LLC (“HCP LLC”), Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., each of which is an entity affiliated with the HCP Funds (such entities together with Mr. Falcone, collectively, the “HCP Parties”), in connection with the two civil actions previously filed against the HCP Parties by the SEC. One civil action alleged that certain HCP Parties violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws by engaging in market manipulation in connection with the trading of the debt securities of a particular issuer from 2006 to 2008. The other civil action alleged that Mr. Falcone and HCP LLC violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with a loan made by a fund affiliated with HCP LLC to Philip Falcone in October 2009 and in connection with the circumstances and disclosure regarding alleged preferential treatment of, and agreements with, certain fund investors. The Final Judgment bars and enjoins Mr. Falcone for a period of five years (after which he may seek to have the bar and injunction lifted) from acting as or being an associated person of any “broker,” “dealer,” “investment adviser,” “municipal securities dealer,” “municipal adviser,” “transfer agent,” or “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as those terms are defined in Section 3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (such specified entities, collectively, the “Specified Entities”). Under the Final Judgment, Mr. Falcone may continue to own and control HGI and its subsidiaries and continue to serve as HGI’s Chief Executive Officer, director and Chairman of HGI’s board except that during the period of the bar Mr. Falcone may not, other than as a result of his ownership and control of the HGI and its subsidiaries, engage in any actions that would result in him being an associated person of certain subsidiaries of HGI that are Specified Entities. During the period of the bar, Mr. Falcone may also remain associated with HCP LLC and other HCP LLC related entities, provided that, during such time, Mr. Falcone’s association must be limited as set forth in the Final Judgment. The settlement requires the HCP Parties to pay disgorgement of profits, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties totaling approximately $18 million.
