Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Each of the Reporting Entities acquired beneficial ownership of the shares
of Common Stock to which this Statement relates in order to obtain a significant
equity position in the Company, the Common Stock of which, in the opinion of the
Reporting Entities, has been undervalued.
The Reporting Entities consider their equity position to be for
investment purposes only. Each of the Reporting Entities may acquire additional
shares of Common Stock or sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by it, in the open market, in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Entities may also take any
other action with respect to the Company or any of its debt or equity securities
in any manner permitted by law.
The Reporting Entities, many of whom have been stockholders in the Company
since January 2006, believe that the Company should implement a number of
measures to improve the Company's profitability and share price performance.
Such measures include, without limitation,
Page 27 of 46 Pages
(i) the divestiture of the Company's Automotive segment and
Glassware and Candles segment;
(ii) reduction in corporate level expenses resulting from Lancaster
Colony's "holding-company" structure;
(iii) implementation of initiatives to return the Specialty Foods
segment to historical levels of profitability with an
operating income margin of at least 20%; and
(iv) a debt-financed self-tender offer to repurchase at least $300
million of the Company's outstanding common stock.
The Reporting Entities have had discussions with members of the Company's
management team with respect to some of these measures which the Reporting
Entities believe will significantly improve shareholder value for the benefit of
the Company's stockholders. The Reporting Entities desire to discuss these
measures in further detail with the Company's management team and independent
members of the Company's Board of Directors.
Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Entities have
any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the
actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of
Schedule 13D. The Reporting Entities intend to review their investment in the
Company on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without
limitation, the willingness of the Company's management team and Board of
Directors to meet with and consider the suggestions of the Reporting Entities,
the Company's financial position and business strategy, the price levels of the
shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general
economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Entities may in the future take
such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem
appropriate including, without limitation, seeking Board representation, making
proposals to the Company concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership
structure or operations of the Company, purchasing additional shares of Common
Stock, selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock and/or changing their
intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
