PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On May 17, 2012, BIDZ.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, Glendon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Bidz Acquisition Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Subsidiary"), pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger Agreement was negotiated on behalf of the Company by a special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company composed entirely of independent directors with the assistance of financial and legal advisors.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than shares owned by Parent, the Company or their respective subsidiaries and shares held by dissenting stockholders), automatically will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $0.78 per share in cash, without interest. Parent has obtained an equity commitment from an investment fund affiliated with Albert Hallac to fund the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. An entity affiliated with Mr. Hallac (collectively “Weston”) also has agreed to guarantee any payment obligations of Parent and Merger Subsidiary arising under the Merger Agreement, including as a result of any breach thereof, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a written guarantee in favor of the Company. Kia Jam is the President, Director and voting shareholder of Parent and is an officer and director of Merger Subsidiary. Weston has no voting rights in Parent and disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons.

 

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, David Zinberg, the founder, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, and Marina Zinberg, Mr. Zinberg's sister, entered into a contribution agreement and a voting agreement with Parent, pursuant to which they (i) agreed to contribute to Parent, immediately prior to (but subject to) the effective time of the Merger, all shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by them in exchange for shares of common stock of Parent and (ii) agreed, among other things, to vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other stockholder proposals necessary to consummate the Merger, including any proposal to adjourn the stockholder meeting at which stockholder approval is sought to solicit additional votes in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. The shares subject to these agreements represent about 36.80% of Common Stock based on 18,378,795 shares of common stock outstanding as reported by the Company in its Form 10-Q filed on May 11, 2012. These agreements terminate upon any termination of the Merger Agreement or any change in the Board of Director's recommendation with respect to the Merger Agreement, and in certain other circumstances. The Company is not a signatory to the contribution agreement or voting agreement.

 

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) reflects that, as of May 17, 2012 Parent, David Zinberg and Marina Zinberg have formed a Section 13(d) “group” as described in Rule 13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to their beneficial ownership of Common Stock as described herein. Reference is made to the information provided in the filings by David Zinberg and Marina Zinberg, as amended to date, with respect to their beneficial ownership of common stock. To the extent the information contained herein represents a material change in the facts set forth in such previous filings, such previous filings shall be deemed amended and supplemented by the information provided herein.

As described and set forth above in “Preliminary Statement and Explanatory Note, the Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 17, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Glendon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Bidz Acquisition Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”).

The Merger Agreement and the Merger are described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 18, 2012.

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement, David Zinberg and Marina Zinberg have entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with Parent pursuant to which they have agreed to contribute, in the aggregate, approximately 6,763,738   shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by them in exchange for equity interests in Parent in lieu of receiving the cash merger consideration for such shares. The Contribution Agreement automatically terminates upon the termination of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of certain other events. These Reporting Persons have also entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which they have agreed to vote all of the shares of Common Stock that they now own or will own prior to the effective time of the Merger in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement. The Voting Agreement automatically terminates upon the termination of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of certain other events. Accordingly, these Reporting Persons are deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

After the completion of the Merger, the Company will cease to be a publicly held company.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Contribution Agreement and the Voting Agreement are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2, 3 and4, respectively, to this Statement and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
