This Schedule 13D/A Amendment No. 15 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed previously by Hallmark Cards, Incorporated, H.A., LLC (formerly H.A., Inc.), H C Crown, LLC (formerly H C Crown Corp.), Hallmark Entertainment Holdings, Inc. and Hallmark Entertainment Investments Co., jointly with respect to the securities of the Issuer (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated by deleting the entirety of the text therof and replacing it with the following:

(a) - (c) and (f): This Schedule 13D/A is being filed by Hallmark Cards, Incorporated (“Hallmark Cards”), a Missouri corporation, H.A., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards (formerly H.A., Inc., a Delaware corporation), HMK Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of H.A., LLC, H C Crown, LLC (“HCC”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMK Holdings, Inc. (formerly H C Crown Corp., a Delaware corporation), Blue Holding Company (“Blue”), a Missouri corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, and Hallmark Cards GmbH (“HC Germany”), a German company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue (Hallmark Cards, H.A., LLC, HMK Holdings, Inc., HCC, Blue and HC Germany, together, the “Reporting Persons”). Hallmark Cards, Blue and HMK Holdings, Inc. each has its principal executive office at 2501 McGee, Kansas City, Missouri 64108. H.A., LLC and HCC each has its principal executive office at 103 Foulk Road, Suite 214, Wilmington, Delaware 19803. HC Germany has its principal executive office at Am Borsigturm 33, D-13507, Berlin, Germany. Hallmark Cards’ principal business is the manufacture and distribution of personal expression products. H.A., LLC’s principal business is holding shares of HMK Holdings, Inc. and debt securities and other investments in other entities. HMK Holdings, Inc.’s principal business is holding shares of HCC and debt securities and other investments in other entities. HCC’s principal business is holding debt obligations and shares of the Issuer and debt securities and other investments in other entities. HC Germany’s principal business is the distribution of social expression products within Germany. Blue’s principal business is holding shares of HC Germany and debt securities and other investments in other entities. The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Schedule I hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Hallmark Entertainment Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HEH”), and Hallmark Entertainment Investments Co., a Delaware corporation (“HEIC”) previously filed as members of a group with the Reporting Persons. On June 29, 2010, HEIC merged with and into the Issuer (the “HEIC Merger”) and HEH subsequently merged with and into the Issuer (the “HEH Merger”).

H.A., LLC and HCC previously filed as H.A., Inc. and H C Crown Corp. On December 31, 2010, H.A., Inc., a Delaware corporation, was converted into H.A., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and H C Crown Corp., a Delaware corporation, was converted into H C Crown, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

(d) and (e): During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto, (1) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (2) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

On October 31, 2012, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 31, 2012 by and between HCC and Hallmark Cards, HCC sold 40,000,000 shares (the “Transferred Shares”) of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) to Hallmark Cards in exchange for a promissory note issued by Hallmark Cards to HCC. Immediately thereafter, Hallmark Cards contributed the Transferred Shares to Blue as a contribution to capital pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (the “Hallmark Cards-Blue Contribution Agreement”) dated as of October 31, 2012 by and between Hallmark Cards and Blue. Immediately thereafter, Blue contributed the Transferred Shares to HC Germany as a contribution to capital pursuant to a Contribution Agreement (the “Blue-HC Germany Contribution Agreement”; together with the Purchase Agreement and the Hallmark Cards-Blue Contribution Agreement, the “Transfer Documents”) dated as of October 31, 2012 by and between Blue and HC Germany.

As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transfer Documents (the “Share Contribution”), HC Germany is the direct owner of the Transferred Shares.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, as it has been amended from time to time, is hereby further amended and supplemented as follows:

Tax Deconsolidation

As a result of the Share Contribution, members of Hallmark Cards’ consolidated tax group will own less than 80% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, and therefore the Issuer will no longer be eligible to join in Hallmark Cards’ consolidated tax group for federal income tax purposes (the “Deconsolidation”). Because the Issuer expects to file separate federal income tax returns that are not consolidated with the federal income tax returns of Hallmark Cards, it is expected that the Issuer may be able to apply certain net operating losses that it had accumulated while it was not a member of the Hallmark Cards consolidated tax group to future federal taxable income of the Issuer (if any).

 

- 8 -


On October 12, 2012, the Issuer’s Board of Directors empowered a special committee of its Board of Directors, consisting of William Cella, Glenn Curtis, Herbert Granath, A. Drue Jennings and Peter Lund (all of whom are independent of Hallmark Cards) (the “Special Committee”) to, among other things, (i) review and evaluate the terms and conditions, and determine the advisability, of entering into certain agreements and acknowledgments with Hallmark Cards (the “Potential Transaction”) and any alternatives thereto as the Special Committee deems appropriate, (ii) establish, approve, modify, monitor and direct the process and procedures related to the review and evaluation of the Potential Transaction and any alternatives thereto, (iii) negotiate with Hallmark Cards with respect to the terms and conditions of the Potential Transaction or any alternative thereto and, if the Special Committee deems appropriate, but subject to the limitations of applicable law, approve the execution and delivery of any agreements, documents, certificates or other instruments in connection with the Potential Transaction, or any alternative transaction that Hallmark Cards is a party to on behalf of the Issuer, (iv) determine whether the Potential Transaction or any alternative thereto negotiated by the Special Committee is in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders other than Hallmark Cards and HCC, (v) recommend to the full Board of Directors what action, if any, should be taken with respect to the Potential Transaction or any alternative thereto, and (vi) take any other action which the Special Committee determines in its sole discretion to be advisable in connection with the foregoing. In addition, the Board of Directors resolved that the Issuer would not authorize the Potential Transaction without a prior favorable recommendation by the Special Committee.

On October 26, 2012, the Special Committee determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders (other than Hallmark) to pursue the Deconsolidation and, as an inducement to Hallmark Cards to facilitate the Deconsolidation, to cause the Issuer to enter into the Acknowledgement and Agreement with Hallmark Cards, dated as of October 29, 2012. A copy of the Acknowledgement and Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this Amendment. The Acknowledgement and Agreement provides, among other things, the Issuer will not, and it will cause its controlled affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, take any action (including asserting legal, equitable or contractual rights) that (a) would prevent, impede, hinder or delay Hallmark Cards or any of its affiliates from transferring ownership (including record ownership) of all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by HCC prior to the Share Contribution (such shares of Common Stock owned by HCC immediately to the Share Contribution, the “Hallmark Owned Shares”) to a single Affiliate of Hallmark Cards in accordance with Section 3 of the Stockholders Agreement (such Transfer, a “Reaggregation Transfer”) or (b) would cause Hallmark Cards or any of its affiliates to suffer any adverse consequences arising out of a Reaggregation Transfer. Subject to applicable law and the restrictions in the Stockholders Agreement, a Reaggregation Transfer would permit the affiliate of Hallmark Cards holding all of the Hallmark Owned Shares to effect a short form merger under the Delaware General Corporation Law (as HCC could have done prior to the Share Contribution). The Reporting Persons may engage in a Reaggregation Transfer at any point in time in light of the factors described elsewhere in this Item 4.

In addition, the Acknowledgement and Agreement provides that in the event that the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency asserts that the Share Contribution did not result in the termination of the Issuer’s eligibility to join in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with Hallmark Cards, then Hallmark Cards will, with the cooperation of the Issuer, control the response to, and defense of, such assertion, and will have the right to control the settlement of such matter. If it is ultimately determined (whether by judgment, by settlement or otherwise), that the Share Contribution did not result in the termination of the Issuer’s eligibility to join in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with Hallmark Cards, then (i) Section 1 of the tax sharing agreement between Hallmark Cards and the Issuer will automatically and without any further action on the part of any party, be deemed to be continuously in full force from the date of the Acknowledgement and Agreement, and (ii) Hallmark Cards and the Issuer will cooperate in good faith to give effect to the terms and provisions of the tax sharing agreement as if the Share Contribution, the Deconsolidation and any purported expiration of the tax sharing agreement resulting therefrom had not occurred.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a)-(b): Immediately following the Share Contribution, (i) HCC directly owns 284,885,516 shares of Class A Common Stock, which comprises 79.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer and (ii) HC Germany directly owns 40,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which comprises 11.1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. Hallmark Cards directly owns no shares of Common Stock, but shares dispositive and voting power over the shares of Common Stock owned by HCC and HC Germany, which constitutes 324,885,516 shares of Class A Common Stock and 90.3% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. These percentages are based on 359,675,936 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of July 23, 2012 as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on July 27, 2012 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Blue directly owns no shares of Common Stock but shares dispositive and voting power over shares of Common Stock owned by HC Germany, as described above.

HMK Holdings, Inc. and H.A., LLC each owns no shares of Common Stock but shares dispositive and voting power over shares of Common Stock owned by HCC, as described above

 

- 9 -


The information requested by (a)-(b) of this Item 5 for each director and executive officer of Hallmark Cards, HMK Holdings, Inc., Blue and HC Germany and each executive officer of H.A., LLC and HCC is set forth in Schedule II hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

(c): See Items 3 and 4 above.

Except as described in this Item 5(c), neither of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of their directors or executive officers, has effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d): None

(e): Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, as it has been amended from time to time, is hereby further amended and supplemented as follows:

Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2012, by and among HCC and Hallmark Cards. See Items 3 and 4 above.
