Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the restructuring of the payment mix for the acquisition announced on June 5, 2006. The amendment significantly reduces the immediate cash outflow required from FAAC while increasing the equity dilution and debt instrument exposure (convertible notes) associated with the transaction. The total purchase price remains unchanged.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
FAAC plans to hold presentations for stockholders regarding the acquisition. The company advises stockholders to review the preliminary and definitive proxy statements for important information, as the acquisition requires approval at a special meeting of stockholders. The filing notes that FAAC and its directors may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies. No specific financial guidance or forward-looking projections regarding the post-acquisition performance are provided in this document.
