INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 2 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “ Schedule 13E-3 ”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), by MAXXAM Inc. (“ MAXXAM ” or the “ Company ”), a Delaware corporation, Charles E. Hurwitz, Gilda Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Giddeon Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the Hurwitz Investment Partnership L.P., a Texas limited partnership, the Hurwitz Family Foundation, a Texas nonprofit corporation, and Shawn M. Hurwitz (collectively, the “ Filing Persons ”).
The Company proposes to hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “ Meeting ”) to consider an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-250 reverse stock split of MAXXAM’s common and preferred shares (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, (a) each stockholder owning fewer than 250 shares of MAXXAM common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will receive $10.77 in cash, without interest, for each MAXXAM common share owned by such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and will no longer own any of the Company’s common shares; (b) each stockholder owning fewer than 250 shares of MAXXAM preferred stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will receive $11.52 in cash, without interest, for each MAXXAM preferred share owned by such stockholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and will no longer own any of the Company’s preferred shares; and (c) each stockholder owning 250 or more common or preferred shares immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will receive one share for each 250 shares held before the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu of any fractional shares following the Reverse Stock Split, will receive $10.77 in cash, without interest, for any common shares held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split that result in the fraction and $11.52 in cash, without interest, for any preferred shares held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split that result in the fraction. Based upon the Company’s analysis, it expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $1,700,000 to its stockholders in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
The primary effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be to reduce the Company’s total number of record holders of common stock below 300 by fully cashing out shareholders with less than 250 shares. This will allow the Company to suspend its SEC reporting obligations and seek to terminate the registration of its common stock under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by the Filing Persons with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13e-3 thereunder in connection with the filing by the Company of an amended preliminary proxy statement (“ Proxy Statement ”) filed under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. Each of the cross references indicated in the Items of this Schedule 13E-3 shows the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to such Items in this Schedule 13E-3. The information contained in the Proxy Statement, including all schedules, exhibits, appendices and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference, and the responses to each Item in this Schedule 13E-3 are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement and the schedules, exhibits, appendices and annexes thereto, including the accompanying proxy cards. All information contained in this Schedule 13E-3 concerning the Company has been supplied by the Company.
As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment. This Schedule 13E-3 will be amended to reflect such completion or amendment of the Proxy Statement.
All references in this Schedule 13E-3 to Items numbered 1001 through 1016 contained in this Schedule 13E-3 are references to the corresponding Items contained in Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act.
