On April 6, 2016, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Handy & Harman Ltd., a publicly-traded NASDAQ company and an affiliate of Steel Holdings (“Parent”), Handy & Harman Group, Ltd., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“AcquisitionCo”), and SLI Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of AcquisitionCo (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Parent and AcquisitionCo have agreed to cause Merger Sub to make a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer, at a purchase price of $40.00 per Share in cash (the “Offer Price”).
 
 
10

 
CUSIP NO. 784413106
 
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub has agreed to commence the Offer no later than 10 business days after the date of the Merger Agreement.  Merger Sub’s obligation to accept for payment and pay for Shares pursuant to the Offer is subject to various conditions, including (a) expiration of the waiting period applicable to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer or the consummation of the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, (b) a nonwaivable condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer that number of Shares that, when added to the Shares, if any, already owned by Parent and its subsidiaries, would represent at least a majority of all then outstanding Shares, (c) a nonwaivable condition (the “Supermajority of the Minority Condition”) that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer that number of Shares that would represent at least sixty percent (60%) of all then outstanding Shares not owned by Parent or any of its affiliates, (d) Shares held by stockholders that have properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer, and (e) other customary conditions.  There is no financing condition to the obligations to consummate the Offer.
 
The Merger Agreement further provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, following completion of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of AcquisitionCo (the “Merger”). The Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), with no vote of the Issuer’s stockholders required to consummate the Merger.  In the Merger, each outstanding Share (other than Shares held by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, Parent, AcquisitionCo or Merger Sub or held by stockholders who are entitled to demand, and who properly demand, appraisal rights under Delaware law), will be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest. The Merger is subject to the following closing conditions: (i) Merger Sub having accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer and (ii) there being in effect no law or order which makes the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Merger.
 
The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is referenced as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, DGT entered into a Tender Agreement (the “Tender Agreement”) with the Issuer, Parent, AcquisitionCo and Merger Sub pursuant to which it agreed to promptly tender, and not withdraw, the 994,840 Shares owned directly by DGT into the Offer.  The foregoing summary of the Tender Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Tender Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Additional Information and Where to Find It
 
The Offer described above has not yet commenced.  This Schedule 13D is not an offer to buy or a solicitation of an offer to sell any Shares of the Issuer.  The Issuer has disclosed that the solicitation and the offer to buy Shares of the Issuer will be made pursuant to a tender offer statement on Schedule TO, including an offer to purchase, a letter of transmittal and other related materials that Parent, AcquisitionCo and Merger Sub intend to file with the SEC.  In addition, the Issuer has disclosed that it intends to file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 and a Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement with respect to the tender offer.  The Issuer has disclosed that stockholders will be able to obtain the tender offer statement on Schedule TO, the offer to purchase, the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement of the Issuer on Schedule 14D-9, the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, and related materials with respect to the tender offer free of charge at the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov, and from any information agent named in the tender offer materials.  The Issuer has disclosed that stockholders may also obtain, at no charge, any such documents filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Issuer under the “Investors Relations” section of the Issuer’s website at www.slindustries.com.  THE ISSUER HAS DISCLOSED THAT STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THESE DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING ANY SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT OF THE ISSUER AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO, AS WELL AS ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE TENDER OFFER THAT ARE FILED WITH THE SEC, CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, PRIOR TO MAKING ANY DECISIONS WITH RESPECT TO WHETHER TO TENDER THEIR SHARES INTO THE TENDER OFFER BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TENDER OFFER.
