INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2006 (“Amendment No. 1”) by AEGON, N.V., AEGON USA, Inc. and AUSA HOLDING COMPANY (“AUSA”).
This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to report that on December 11, 2006, Clark, Inc. (the “Company”), AUSA and AUSA Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AUSA (the “Purchaser”), have entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger. This Amendment No. 2 also reflects the transfer of title to the shares from AEGON USA, Inc. to AUSA HOLDING COMPANY.
Other than as set forth herein, there has been no material change in the information set forth in Items 1 through 7 of the Schedule 13D, as amended. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in Amendment No. 1.
Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
On December 11, 2006, AUSA, the Purchaser and the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 1, 2006 (the “Amendment”).
The Amendment is intended to accurately reflect the parties understanding that if required by law, the Merger must be approved by a majority of the outstanding Shares. Prior to the Amendment, the Merger Agreement provided that one of the conditions to consummate the Offer is that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn by the expiration of the Offer: (i) that number of Shares which, together with Shares already beneficially owned by AUSA or Purchaser, would constitute at least a majority of the outstanding Shares (on a fully diluted basis) (the “Stockholder Approval”) and (ii) a majority of outstanding Shares owned by Disinterested Stockholders, defined as persons other than AUSA, Tom Wamberg, Robert Long, James Bean, Thomas Pyra, any other director of the Company, and any member of the management group proposing to buy the MBO Businesses, and their respective affiliates (the “Disinterested Stockholder Approval”). This “dual” minimum condition was inadvertently applied as a closing condition to the Merger as well as to the Offer.
The Amendment corrects a reference in Section 6.01(a) of the Merger Agreement, which sets forth the conditions of the Merger, to be a reference to Stockholder Approval rather than to Disinterested Stockholder Approval. The Amendment also corrects a reference in Section 7.03 of the Merger Agreement to be a reference to Stockholder Approval rather than Disinterested Stockholder Approval.
The Amendment also amends the definition of “Disinterested Stockholders” to include all beneficial owners of Company Common Stock other than AUSA, Purchaser, Tom Wamberg, Robert Long, James Bean, James Benson, Thomas Pyra, any other director of the Company, Kenneth Kies and any other member of the management group proposing to buy the MBO Businesses, any executive officer or division president of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, and their respective affiliates.
