Explanatory Note:
This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) relates to the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2019 (as so further amended, the “Schedule 13D”) by Simon F. Nynens, an individual (“Nynens”), with respect to the common stock, par value $ $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Wayside Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) whose principal executive offices are located at 4 Industrial Way West, Suite 300, Eatontown, New Jersey 07724.
This Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Item 1. Security and Issuer
Unchanged.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Unchanged.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On December 10, 2019, Shepherd Kaplan Krochuk, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SKK”), each of David Shepherd, David Kaplan and Timothy Krochuk (as Managing Members of SKK), North & Webster SSG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (N&W”), and Samuel Kidston, as the Managing Member of N&W (collectively, the “SKK Reporting Persons”) delivered a letter (the “Letter”) to the Issuer renewing their August 23, 2019 proposal to acquire the Issuer for a purchase price of $16.38 in cash per share, a 14% premium to their original proposal dated July 15, 2019. In the Letter, the SKK Reporting Persons stated that this preliminary, non-binding proposal is based on financial and outstanding share information as of the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the date of the Issuer’s most recent publicly available financial information, and assumes no material change in the Issuer’s business, condition or prospects since that date. The SKK Reporting Persons further stated that the proposal will expire if the Letter has not been executed by the Issuer by the close of business on Monday, December 16, 2019.
The SKK Reporting Persons stated their belief that the proposed transaction offers the following significant advantages to the Issuer and its stockholders:
· | Attractive price / premium — The SKK Repo rting Persons stated that the proposal represents a 44% premium to the closing price on July 12, 2019, the date immediately preceding the SKK Reporting Persons’ first proposal, and a 41% premium to the median closing price of the Issuer’s stock over the past year, which implies a total equity value of approximately $73,803,251 based on 4,505,693 shares outstanding. The SKK Reporting Persons stated their belief that the proposal represents an attractive valuation in light of the illiquid market for the Issuer’s stock. |
Page 4 |
· | Liquidity for stockholders — The SKK Reporting Persons stated that, in their view, the proposal presents a certain and swift path to liquidity for the Issuer’s stockholders, which many stockholders would be unable to achieve in the present trading environment for the Issuer’s stock, where the average daily trading volume during the 30-days prior to the date of the initial proposal was 4,606 shares. |
· | Speed and certainty of signing — The SKK Reporting Persons stated in the Letter that they are prepared to expeditiously complete due diligence and to prepare and negotiate a definitive merger agreement. |
· | Certainty of consummation and financing — The SKK Reporting Persons stated in the Letter that they do not believe there are any significant antitrust issues relating to the proposed transaction. The SKK Reporting Persons stated that they worked closely with several financial institutions and SKK clients willing to provide debt and equity to support the proposal, pending diligence. The SKK Reporting Persons stated that, based on these efforts, they believe that fully committed financing will be obtained upon completion of confirmatory due diligence and ahead of the execution of a definitive merger agreement. The SKK Reporting Persons stated that they previously provided the Issuer with evidence of their ability to finance the proposed transaction. |
The SKK Reporting Persons concluded the Letter by stating that the proposal is conditioned upon an initial exclusivity period lasting until January 30, 2020, which date the SKK Reporting Persons may extend for up to two additional periods of twenty days each.
All of the information relating to the SKK Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D consists of information solely disclosed by the SKK Reporting Persons to Nynens and filed by the SKK Reporting Persons under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. While Nynens has no reason to believe that such information was not reliable as of its date, Nynens makes no representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of such information, and the filing of this Amendment shall not create any implication under any circumstances that there have been no events, or that there is no other information, including events or information not yet disclosed by the SKK Reporting Persons, that may affect the accuracy or completeness of such information.
The foregoing summary of the Letter is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Letter, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Unchanged.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
Unchanged.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits
