The terms of the Stockholder Agreement apply to the Subject Shares of the Stockholders, as described in Item 5. See the response to Item 3 for a more complete description of the Merger. The description of the Stockholder Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.
|
INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
|
(a)–(b) As a result of the Stockholder Agreement, Unilever USA may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Shares. As the corporate parents of Unilever USA, each of Unilever N.V. and Unilever PLC may be deemed to be indirect beneficial owners of the Subject Shares. The Subject Shares constitute approximately 12.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock, based on the Issuer’s representation in the Merger Agreement that there were 98,805,059 shares of Issuer Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on September 22, 2010. Subject to certain exceptions, any shares of capital stock of the Issuer acquired or received (including as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, conversion, exchange or other like change) by any Stockholder after the date of the Stockholder Agreement will also be subject to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement as Subject Shares. Accordingly, any such acquisition or receipt of shares of capital stock of the Issuer by any Stockholder may result in each of the Reporting Persons being deemed to be the beneficial owner of such additional shares.
Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, each of the Stockholders has agreed, among other things, (i) to vote (or cause to be voted) all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) to vote (or cause to be voted) all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares against the following: (A) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by the Issuer or any other similar transaction, (B) any Takeover Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) or any action which is a component of any Takeover Proposal and (C) any amendment of the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other proposal or transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any of the Issuer Common Stock, (iii) prior to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Issuer’s stockholders, to not sell, transfer, pledge, assign, or otherwise dispose of (including by gift), hedge or utilize a derivative to transfer the economic interest in (collectively, “Transfer”) any Subject Shares, unless the person to whom Subject Shares are Transferred has agreed to be bound by the Stockholder Agreement, (iv) to not enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to any Subject Shares, other than the Stockholder Agreement and (v) to not commit or agree to take any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations under the Stockholder Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Each Stockholder has granted to, and appointed, Unilever USA and Sub, or any of them, and any individual designated in writing by any of them, and each of them individually, as such Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder, to vote such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or grant a consent or approval in respect of such Subject Shares, in a manner consistent with clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph. Such proxy has been executed and is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (except that such proxy is automatically revoked and terminated upon termination of the Stockholder Agreement in accordance with its terms).
The Stockholder Agreement (i) shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (A) the effective time of the Merger and (B) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) may be terminated by the Stockholder Rep (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement) within ten days of the date of any modification, waiver or amendment of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms that decreases the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case other than with respect to the liability of any party for breach of the Stockholder Agreement prior to such termination.
The descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2 and 3 and are incorporated herein by reference.
(c) None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any person named in Schedule A hereto, has effected any transaction in the Issuer Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
|
ITEM 6.
