Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The Transaction Valuation was calculated on the
basis of (a) 121,991,202 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Monster Worldwide, Inc. (the Shares), which is the estimated maximum number of Shares that may be acquired in this tender offer (representing
(i) 89,071,628 Shares issued and outstanding (including restricted Shares); (ii) up to 25,110,292 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 of Monster Worldwide, Inc. (the Notes), to the
extent the Notes may be converted into Shares in accordance with their terms; (iii) up to 60,816 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options; and (iv) up to 7,748,466 Shares issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted
stock units and performance Shares (assuming target performance for each applicable performance measure)), multiplied by (b) the offer price of $3.40 per Share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the
offerors and are as of September 1, 2016, the most recent practicable date.

This Amendment No. 2 (this
Amendment
) amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on September 6, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the
Schedule TO
). The Schedule TO relates to the
offer (the
Offer
) by Merlin Global Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Purchaser
) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Randstad North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Parent
), to
purchase any and all issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
Shares
), of Monster Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (
Monster
), at a price of $3.40 per Share, net to
the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated September 6, 2016 (the
Offer to Purchase
) and in
the related Letter of Transmittal which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the
Offer
.
All information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including all schedules thereto, is hereby
incorporated by reference in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 in this Amendment. Except as otherwise indicated in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.
Item 11.
|
Additional Information.
|
Section 15 Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory
Approvals of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs immediately after the last paragraph of such subsection:
Certain Litigation.
On September 9, 2016, a putative class-action lawsuit challenging the disclosures made in the
Schedule 14D-9 was filed against Monster and the seven members of the Monster Board. The action, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, is captioned
Litwin v. Monster Worldwide, Inc., et
al.,
16-cv-11844 (D. Mass) (the
Litwin
action
). The complaint generally alleges that the Schedule 14D-9 contains material misstatements or omits to state material information that is necessary for the
Schedule 14D-9 not to be misleading. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Schedule 14D-9 (i) omits certain line items from the financial projections relied upon by Evercore in its financial analyses, (ii) omits certain inputs
and assumptions underlying Evercores financial analyses, and (iii) omits or misstates information relating to the sales process leading to the Offer and the Merger. On September 12, 2016, an additional class-action lawsuit
similar to the
Litwin
action was also filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, captioned
Dagut v. Monster Worldwide, Inc., et al.
, 16-cv-11852 (D. Mass.) (the
Dagut
action
). The
Dagut
action is brought against Monster, the seven members of the Monster Board, Parent and Purchaser. Like the
Litwin
action, the
Dagut
action generally alleges material misstatements or omissions in the
Schedule 14D-9. Specifically, the
Dagut
complaint alleges that the Schedule 14D-9 (i) omits certain line items from the financial projections relied upon by Evercore in its financial analyses, (ii) omits certain inputs and
assumptions underlying Evercores financial analyses, (iii) omits information about potential conflicts of interests of Monsters officers and directors, and (iv) omits information about potential conflicts of interest of
Evercore. Counts I and II of both complaints are asserted against all defendants pursuant to Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act. Count III of the
Litwin
action is asserted against the members of the Monster Board pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act; Count III of the
Dagut
action also asserts a claim pursuant to Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the
members of the Monster Board and Parent.
The plaintiffs in both the
Litwin
and
Dagut
actions seek, among other things, an
injunction against the consummation of the Offer and the Merger or, in the alternative, rescinding them and awarding rescissory damages, as well as an award of costs and expenses (including a reasonable allowance for attorneys and
experts fees and expenses). The defendants believe both complaints allegations lack merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Additional lawsuits may be filed against Monster, Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective directors in connection with the Offer and the
Merger. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, Parent and Purchaser will not necessarily announce such additional filings.
