Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 17, 2012 in connection with the closing of the Offer (as defined below), the amount of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2012, among Schiff Nutrition International, Inc. (“Schiff” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, Schiff Nutrition Group, Inc., a Utah corporation, certain financial institutions as Lenders and Royal Bank of Canada as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender (previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 2, 2012 and incorporated herein by reference, the “Credit Facility”) were repaid and the Credit Facility was terminated.

To provide funds for the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and to replace that facility, the Company entered into a Promissory Note and Credit Agreement with Reckitt Benckiser LLC (the “Lender” or “Parent”), a Delaware limited liability company, dated as of December 17, 2012 (the “Reckitt Credit Agreement”). The Reckitt Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured credit facility of up to $190 million to repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility, to pay certain other amounts in connection with the Merger (as defined below) and for ordinary working capital and general business needs from December 17, 2012 through February 1, 2013. Advances under the Reckitt Credit Agreement are due on the earlier of demand or February 1, 2013, with interest payable monthly at a per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.75%, with a minimum LIBOR of 1.25% per annum. The Reckitt Credit Agreement contains no covenants, includes customary events of default, and obligates the Lender to advance funds absent an event having a material adverse effect on the Company. Upon the consummation of the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the Company became a subsidiary of Parent, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Ultimate Parent”).

 

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

As noted in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) above, on December 17, 2012, all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility were repaid and the Credit Facility was terminated. The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02.

 

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 17, 2012, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) of the completion of the Merger and requested that trading of the shares of Class A common stock of Schiff, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”) on the NYSE be suspended. As a result of the consummation of the Offer and the effectiveness of the Merger, the Company no longer meets the numerical listing requirements of the NYSE. The Company also requested that the NYSE file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Class A Shares. The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the deregistration of the Class A Shares and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Upon the Effective Time (as defined below), the Registration Rights Agreement, dated August 10, 2012, by and among the Company, TPG STAR SNI, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Weider Health & Fitness, a Nevada corporation (previously filed with the SEC on August 14, 2012, as Exhibit 10.35 to Schiff’s Form 10-K, and the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2010, by and between Weider Health & Fitness and TPG STAR SNI, L.P. (previously filed with the SEC on October 18, 2010, as Exhibit 1 to Schedule 13D filed by Tarrant Capital Advisors, Inc.), each expired in accordance with their terms without any payment in respect thereof.

At the Effective Time, all outstanding Class A Shares and shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (together with the Class A Shares, the “Shares”) (other than Shares owned by the Company, Purchaser, Parent or their respective subsidiaries or Shares owned by holders properly exercising their

appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”)) were canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $42.00 per Share (the “Offer Price”), without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. At the Effective Time, holders of such Shares ceased to have any rights as holders of Shares (other than their right to receive the Offer Price) and accordingly no longer have any interest in the Company’s future earnings or growth.

 

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

As previously disclosed, on November 21, 2012, Parent, Purchaser, Schiff, and, for the limited purposes described therein, Ultimate Parent, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, following the consummation of Purchaser’s tender offer for all of the outstanding Shares at a purchase price of $42.00 per Share, the Merger would be consummated and the Company would continue as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimate Parent. The Offer was subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, originally filed with the SEC on November 16, 2012, and which were amended and restated pursuant to the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase (as amended from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal (as amended from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal,” and together with the Offer to Purchase and any supplements or schedules thereto, the “Offer”), each dated as of November 27, 2012.

The Offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, December 14, 2012. According to the final report of the depositary for the Offer, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as of the expiration of the Offer, approximately 28,745,180 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, representing approximately 96.266% of the outstanding Shares. In addition, 397,714 Shares were delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures. Purchaser accepted for payment Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for payment prior to the expiration of the Offer pursuant to the terms of the Offer.

Parent completed its acquisition of the Company through the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimate Parent, in accordance with the short-form merger provisions of the DGCL. The Merger became effective (the “Effective Time”) on December 17, 2012, upon the filing by Purchaser of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The total cost to acquire all outstanding Shares pursuant to the Offer and the Merger was approximately $1.36 billion. The source of the funds for the acquisition of the Company was provided by Ultimate Parent and Parent, which provided Purchaser with sufficient funds to purchase all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and provided funding for the acquisition of the remaining Shares in the Merger. All funding for the acquisition of the Shares in the Offer and the Merger will be provided to Purchaser by Ultimate Parent and its affiliates in the form of loans and/or capital contributions. The source of such funding was a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under an approximately $6 billion privately-issued unsecured commercial paper program established by the Ultimate Parent and certain of its subsidiaries for certain acquisition and working capital needs. The commercial paper program was established in the name of Reckitt Benckiser Treasury Services plc, as issuer, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as issuing and paying agent and is unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Ultimate Parent. Interest rates under the commercial paper facility are based on market conditions at the time of issuance and the duration of borrowing and recently have ranged from 0.20% per annum to less than 0.8% per annum. Maturities for notes issued under the commercial paper facility can extend up to 364 days from the date of issuance. The commercial paper facility is rated investment grade by each of Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s and the issuance of notes under the facility is not subject to any material conditions. Any drawing under the commercial paper program in connection with the acquisition of the Shares is expected to be repaid in the ordinary course of operation from operating revenues of the Ultimate Parent and its subsidiaries.

The information set forth under Item 5.02 of this Current Report is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
