Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following information:
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Zebra is extending the expiration of the Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, November 26, 2001, unless the Offer is further extended. The Offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, November 9, 2001. The extension of the Offer is made because the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has not yet expired or been terminated. All references to "5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, November 9, 2001" as the "Expiration Date," or time of expiration of the Offer, are hereby amended to refer to "5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, November 26, 2001."
As of 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on November 9, 2001, 10,073,214 Shares (including guaranteed deliveries) were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 85.7% of the outstanding Shares.
On November 9, 2001 Zebra and Fargo issued a joint press release announcing the extension of the expiration of the Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, November 26, 2001. The press release is contained in Exhibit 99.1(a)(5)(H) hereto, and the information set forth in the press release is incorporated herein by reference.
