This Amendment No. 1
amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13E-3
Transaction Statement filed under cover of Schedule TO on November 1,
2010 (the Schedule TO), by Overseas Toys, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (Overseas Toys), Multi-Accounts, LLC, a California limited
liability company (Multi-Accounts), OA3, LLC, a California limited liability
company (OA3), and Ronald W. Burkle, an individual (Burkle and, together
with Overseas Toys, Multi-Accounts and OA3, the Overseas Toys Parties). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by
Overseas Toys to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Shares), of Simon Worldwide, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (Simon), not owned by Overseas Toys, at a purchase
price of $0.27 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest thereon,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
dated November 1, 2010 (the Offer to Purchase) and in the related Letter
of Transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal) (which, together with any
amendments or supplements from time to time thereto, constitute the Offer).
All capitalized terms used
in this Amendment No. 1 that are not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase, as filed with the Schedule
TO on November 1, 2010.
The items of the Schedule TO
set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Items 1
through 9, 11 and 13
(1)
The second paragraph of the cover page to the Offer to Purchase is hereby
replaced in its entirety with the following:
There is no financing condition to this tender offer. We are not requiring a minimum number of
Shares to be tendered as a condition of this tender offer. We have no current intention to complete a
short-form merger immediately following the consummation of this tender offer,
regardless of the number of Shares that are tendered for purchase in this tender
offer. We may terminate this tender
offer if, among other things (a) this tender offer will not be consummated
pursuant to its terms on or before December 31, 2010 due to any
governmental action or applicable law, or due to any threatened or pending
legal proceeding or investigation or (b) pursuant to applicable law or
regulation, we are required to extend this tender offer to a date that is after
December 31, 2010 (other than as a result of our own action or
inaction). This tender offer is also
subject to certain other conditions described in The Tender Offer Section 12
Conditions to the Offer. Overseas Toys currently owns approximately 75.0% of
the outstanding Shares and may be deemed an affiliate of Simon.
(2)
The question What are the most
important conditions to the tender offer? and the immediately following two
paragraphs under Summary Term Sheet in the Offer to Purchase are
hereby replaced in their entirety with the following:
What are the most important conditions to the tender offer?
Our
obligation to purchase Shares at the expiration of the tender offer is subject
to satisfaction of, or if permitted, waiver of, several conditions. We may
terminate this tender offer if, among other things, (a) this tender offer
will not be consummated pursuant to its terms on or before December 31,
2010 due to any governmental action or applicable law, or due to any threatened
or pending legal proceeding or investigation or (b) pursuant to applicable
law or regulation, we are required to extend this tender offer to a date that
is after December 31, 2010 (other than as a result of our own action or
inaction). The tender offer is subject
to several other conditions. See The Tender OfferSection 12Conditions
to the Offer.
In
the event that all of the conditions to the tender offer have not been
satisfied or waived at the then scheduled expiration date of the tender offer,
Overseas Toys may extend the expiration date of the tender offer in such
increments as Overseas Toys may determine until the earliest to occur of (i) the
satisfaction or waiver of such conditions and (ii) Overseas Toys
determination that such conditions are not reasonably capable of being
satisfied.
(3) The question What does Simons board of directors think of
the tender offer? and the immediately following paragraph under Summary
Term Sheet in the Offer to Purchase are hereby replaced in their entirety with
the following:
What does Simons board of directors think of the tender
offer?
We
commenced the tender offer without obtaining the prior approval or recommendation
of Simons board of directors or any special committee of Simons board of
directors. As we commenced the tender offer promptly after we notified Simons
board of directors of our intention to commence the tender offer, Simons board
of directors had not had an opportunity to consider and evaluate our tender
offer. Although Simons board of
directors and independent directors did review and approve the $0.27 per Share
price reflected in our offer solely for purposes of determining Simons liquidation
value pursuant to certain requirements set forth in Simons restated
certificate of incorporation, Simon publicly announced in filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that neither its board of directors nor its
independent directors have approved or disapproved or made any recommendation
(either for or against) to Simons stockholders with respect to accepting the
offer we notified Simon that we anticipated making at such price. Simons board of directors has formed a
special committee consisting of independent directors to consider the merits of
our tender offer. On November 15,
2010, Simon filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to our
tender offer stating, among other things, that the special committee is
expressing no opinion to Simons stockholders and is remaining neutral with
respect to our tender offer. However,
the consummation of the tender offer does not require the approval or
recommendation of Simons board of directors or a special committee. See Introduction
and Special FactorsBackground.

(4) The question What is your position as to the fairness of
the transaction? and the immediately following paragraph under Summary
Term Sheet in the Offer to Purchase are hereby replaced in their entirety with
the following:
What is
your position as to the fairness of the transaction to Simons unaffiliated
stockholders?
We
believe that the transaction is fair to Simons unaffiliated stockholders,
based upon the factors set forth under Special FactorsPosition of the
Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the Offer. Our belief as to
the fairness of the transaction to unaffiliated stockholders of Simon should
not be construed as a recommendation to you as to whether you should tender in
the Offer. Neither we nor any of our affiliates, officers or representatives
have made or hereby make any recommendation as to whether you should tender
your Shares in this offer.
(5)
The fourth, fifth and sixth paragraphs under Introduction in the Offer to
Purchase are hereby replaced in their entirety with the following:
We may terminate this Offer if, among other things, (a) this
tender offer will not be consummated pursuant to its terms on or before December 31,
2010 due to any governmental action or applicable law, or due to any threatened
or pending legal proceeding or investigation or (b) pursuant to applicable
law or regulation, we are required to extend the Offer to a date that is after December 31,
2010 (other than as a result of our own action or inaction). Each of the other conditions to the Offer
may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amended or waived by us in
our sole discretion and we reserve the right to terminate this Offer upon the
failure of a condition described in The Tender OfferSection 12Conditions
to the Offer. There is no financing condition to this Offer.
Each of the Overseas Toys Parties determined that the Offer is fair to
Simons unaffiliated stockholders and approved the Offer.
We commenced the Offer
without obtaining the prior approval or recommendation of Simons board of
directors or any special committee of Simons board of directors. As we
commenced the Offer promptly after the Overseas Toys Parties notified Simons
board of directors of our intention to commence the Offer, Simons board of
directors had not had an opportunity to consider and evaluate our tender
offer. Although Simons board of
directors and independent directors did review and approve the $0.27 per Share
price reflected in the Offer solely for purposes of determining Simons
liquidation value pursuant to certain requirements set forth in the Amended
Charter and the Recapitalization Agreement (as defined below), Simon publicly
announced in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission)
that neither its board of directors nor its independent directors have approved
or disapproved or made any recommendation (either for or against) to Simons
stockholders with respect to accepting the Offer. Simons board of directors has formed a
special committee consisting of independent directors to consider the merits of
the Offer. On November 15, 2010,
Simon filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to our
tender offer stating, among other things, that the special committee is
expressing no opinion to Simons stockholders and is remaining neutral with
respect to our tender offer. However,
the consummation of the Offer does not require the approval or recommendation
of Simons board of directors or a special committee. See Special
FactorsBackground.

(6)
The eleventh paragraph under Introduction in the Offer to Purchase is hereby
replaced in its entirety with the following:
Except as otherwise set
forth herein, the information concerning Simon contained in this Offer to
Purchase, including, without limitation, financial information, has been
obtained from Simon or has been taken from or based upon publicly available
documents and records on file with the Commission and other public
sources. We have no knowledge that any
such information contains any misstatements or omissions, although we have not
independently verified such information.
(7)
The following is hereby added at the end of Special FactorsBackgroundThe
Offer in the Offer to Purchase:
On
November 9, 2010, at a meeting of the Board, the Special Committee updated
the Board on the status of its response to the Offer, and the Board approved
Simons quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
2010.
On
November 15, 2010, Simon filed with the Commission its
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with the
exhibits and annexes thereto and as amended and/or supplemented from time to
time, the Schedule 14D-9) stating, among other things, the following position
of the Special Committee with respect to the Offer:
The Special Committee is
expressing no opinion to the Companys stockholders and is remaining neutral
with respect to the Offer. The Special Committee has not made a determination
whether the Offer is fair to or in the best interests of the Companys
stockholders and is not making a recommendation regarding whether the Companys
stockholders should accept the Offer and tender their Shares, and, if so, how
many Shares to tender, or reject the Offer and not tender their Shares.
The Special Committee has
determined that each stockholders decision whether to tender its Shares in the
Offer or not and, if so, how many Shares to tender, is a personal investment
decision based upon each individual stockholders particular circumstances. The
Special Committee urges each stockholder to make its own decision regarding the
Offer based on all available information, including the adequacy of the Offer
Price in light of the stockholders own investment objectives, liquidity, short-
and long-term capital needs and resources, the stockholders views as to the
Companys prospects and outlook, the factors considered by the Special
Committee as described below and any other factors that the stockholder deems
relevant to its investment decision. The Special Committee also urges each
stockholder to consult with its financial and tax advisors regarding the Offer.
The Special Committee notes that it observed that acceptance of the Offer would
permit a stockholder to realize a premium to the trading price of the Shares
prior to the announcement of the Offer, whereas a decision not to tender in the
Offer would permit stockholders who believe the Shares have a greater intrinsic
value to realize a greater long-term value if their view of the greater
intrinsic value of the Shares is substantiated in the future.
The Special Committee further notes that the Company does not currently
have any ongoing operations and it currently has no plans to engage in any
ongoing operations other than to seek a transaction with an operating company.
Accordingly, unless the Company is able to consummate a transaction with an
operating company, the Companys assets will likely continue to dwindle as a
result of the Companys maintaining its administration structure, managing its
cash assets and investments, seeking strategic business opportunities and
meeting its obligations as a public company. The Company cannot provide any
assurance that it will be able to consummate such a transaction on terms more
favorable to stockholders than the Offer or at all.
The Schedule 14D-9 was
filed by Simon with the Commission on November 15, 2010, and is
incorporated herein by reference. All
descriptions of the Schedule 14D-9 set forth herein are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such Schedule 14D-9 as filed by Simon with the
Commission. Holders of Shares should
read the Schedule 14D-9 (including all exhibits and annexes thereto) in its
entirety.

The first paragraph under
Special FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the Offer
of the Offer to Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
The rules of the
Commission require the Overseas Toys Parties, to express their belief as to the
fairness of the transaction to Simons unaffiliated stockholders. The following
discussion is intended to address this requirement. However, as stated above,
the Overseas Toys Parties are not recommending that stockholders accept or
decline this Offer. Instead, the Overseas Toys Parties desire for Simon to
avoid mandatory liquidation to be triggered on December 31, 2010.

third bullet point under the second paragraph under Special
FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the
OfferFactors Supportive of Our Fairness Determination of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
The Offer is not subject to
a condition that a majority of the Shares held by unaffiliated stockholders are
tendered. While such a majority of the minority condition is typically viewed
as promoting procedural fairness with respect to unaffiliated stockholders, the
absence of a majority of the minority condition in this case both
(i) allows any stockholder who desires liquidity at this time at the Offer
price to obtain such liquidity without such opportunity being conditioned on
the tendering of a majority of the Shares held by all unaffiliated
stockholders, and (ii) allows stockholders who do not want Simon to be
mandatorily liquidated and who do not want to sell their Shares to maintain
their respective investments in Simon and their ability to sell such Shares in
the market or otherwise, without increasing the risk that the Offer may not be
consummated and that a mandatory liquidation may thus ensue.
(12) The last bullet point under the second
paragraph under Special FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties
Regarding the Fairness of the OfferFactors Supportive of Our Fairness
Determination of the Offer to Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with
the following:
In deciding whether to
tender, the unaffiliated stockholders have the opportunity to consider the
statements of the Special Committee of the Independent Directors set forth in
the Schedule 14D-9, as well as the reasons set forth therein for the Special
Committees inability to take a position or make a recommendation with respect
to the Offer.
(13) The last paragraph under Special
FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the
OfferFactors Supportive of Our Fairness Determination of the Offer to
Purchase, the text of which appears below, is hereby deleted.
We expect that the Special
Committee will consider the terms and conditions of the Offer. Within 10
business days after the commencement of the Offer, Simon is required to state
its position, if any, on the Offer and the reasons for its position (or
inability to take a position) on the Offer in a Schedule 14D-9 filed with
the Commission and mailed to stockholders.

considered negative in their considerations concerning the fairness of the
Offer to Simons unaffiliated stockholders:
(15) The third bullet point under
Special
FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the
OfferFactors Not Supportive of Our Fairness Determination of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
As reported in Note 2 to
Simons Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in the
Most Recent 10-Q, Simon has federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs)
of approximately $68.9 million and state NOLs of approximately $39.5 million
that may, subject to applicable tax rules, be used to reduce certain income tax
obligations in the future. These NOLs have no book carrying value currently, as
GAAP requires Simon to take a valuation allowance against these deferred tax
assets due to the unlikelihood that Simon will generate income sufficient to
use these deferred assets given its lack of any operating business. If Simon
were to acquire a profitable operating business in the future, however, it may
be able to utilize all or a portion of these NOLs subject to applicable tax rules that
might limit use of these NOLs against the acquired business income, depending
upon the particular circumstances at the time and the structure of any such
acquisition. These NOLs would likely have limited value, if any, in a
liquidation of Simon as they would not generally be transferrable to a buyer.
Accordingly, these NOLs are very difficult to value given the uncertainty that
Simon will ever be able to obtain any value from them in the future. Although
Overseas Toys determination of the Offer price was based solely on its
calculation of Simons liquidation value, it did agree to increase the Offer
price to $0.27 per Share from the initial proposed Offer price of $0.25 per
Share set forth in the October 13
th
Letter in
order to attribute some value to these NOLs, as well as to any other potential
non-cash assets (such as the value of the public reporting entity) that do not
appear on Simons balance sheet, in the uncertain event that Simon may be able
to obtain some value therefor in a liquidation. Any stockholder who tenders all
its Shares in the Offer will not benefit from any increase in Simons value
that may result if Simon is able to utilize these NOLs or obtain any value
therefor in the future.
(16) The fifth bullet point under
Special
FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the
OfferFactors Not Supportive of Our Fairness Determination of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
As described in
The Tender OfferSection 12Conditions to the Offer
,
the Offer is subject to the condition that we may terminate the Offer if, among
other things, (a) the Offer will not be consummated pursuant to its terms
on or before December 31, 2010 due to any governmental action or
applicable law, or due to any threatened or pending legal proceeding or
investigation or (b) pursuant to applicable law or regulation, we are
required to extend the Offer to a date that is after December 31, 2010
(other than as a result of our own action or inaction). The reason for this condition is that if the
Offer is not consummated on or before December 31, 2010, it likely will
not constitute a Qualified Offer under the Amended Charter and Simon may thus
be subject to mandatory liquidation pursuant to the Amended Charter.
(17) The following are hereby added as new bullet
points immediately after the final bullet point under
Special
FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the
OfferFactors Not Supportive of Our Fairness Determination of the Offer to
Purchase:
To
the knowledge of the Overseas Toys Parties, the Independent Directors have not
retained an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of unaffiliated
stockholders for purposes of negotiating the terms of the Offer or, except for
the retention of
Greif & Co. (Greif) described in Special FactorsPosition
of the Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the OfferFactors Not
Considered, to prepare a report concerning the fairness of the transaction.
The
Overseas Toys Parties have made no provision in connection with the Offer to
grant unaffiliated stockholders access to the corporate or personal files of
any of the Overseas Toys Parties or to obtain counsel or appraisal services at
the expense of any of the Overseas Toys Parties.
5
(18) The first, second, third, fourth and fifth
paragraphs under
Special FactorsPosition of the Overseas Toys
Parties Regarding the Fairness of the OfferFactors Not Considered of the
Offer to Purchase are hereby replaced in their entirety with the following:
In reaching their
conclusion as to the fairness of the Offer to Simons unaffiliated
stockholders, the Overseas Toys Parties considered only the liquidation value
of Simon and other factors identified above, and did not consider Simons going
concern value, historical market prices, purchase prices paid in previous
purchases of Shares by Overseas Toys or Simon (including the $0.35 price per
Share paid by Simon pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement), or any firm
offers made by any third party to acquire Simon during the past two years. The
Overseas Toys Parties did not consider such factors in considering the fairness
of the Offer to Simons unaffiliated stockholders, because liquidation value
(rather than these other methods of determining value) is the contractually
specified standard for establishing the Offer price as set forth in the
Recapitalization Agreement (and as required, by reference thereto, under the
Amended Charter).
The Overseas Toys Parties
also did not consider going concern value as a factor in determining the
fairness of the Offer to Simons unaffiliated stockholders because Simon has
not had an operating business for eight years and would be required to
liquidate following the Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of
the Amended Charter if the Offer is not consummated.
We
also did not consider historical market prices in making our fairness
determination with respect to Simons unaffiliated stockholders because the
Overseas Toys Parties do not currently intend to complete a short-form merger
following consummation of the Offer and because stockholders who do not want
Simon to be liquidated and do not want to sell their Shares may maintain their
respective investments in Simon and their ability to sell such Shares in the
market or otherwise following consummation of the Offer. The Offer price
represents premiums of approximately 12.5% over both the closing price and the
50-day moving average closing price of the Shares as reported on the Pink
Sheets on October 22, 2010, the trading day preceding the public
announcement of the October 22
nd
Letter and
the approval of the Board and the Independent Directors of the Liquidation
Value proposed therein for purposes of determining Liquidation Value under the
Recapitalization Agreement. Overseas Toys did state current market prices for
the Shares in its October 13
th
Letter to the
Board solely to put its offer in a context customary for cash tender offers,
however, the October 13
th
Letter was superseded in its
entirety by the October 22
nd
Letter. We
also looked at current market prices as an indication of whether the quotations
for the Shares, although very limited and therefore of uncertain usefulness,
could be thought to reflect the trading parties estimation of the liquidation
value of Simon. As indicated above, however, Overseas Toys determination of
the Offer price was based solely on its calculation of liquidation value.
The Overseas Toys Parties
have not purchased any Shares in Simon in the past two years. The Overseas Toys
Parties did not consider the price paid to Everest under the Stock Repurchase
Agreement to be relevant in making our fairness determination with respect to
Simons unaffiliated stockholders because, among other things, (i) there
was no contractual obligation for that price to be determined by liquidation
value, as is required with respect to the Offer, and (ii) Simon expended
approximately $1.5 million of additional cash resources from the date of the
Stock Repurchase Agreement through November 1, 2010 (not including amounts
spent to repurchase the Shares held by Everest pursuant to the Stock Repurchase
Agreement).
The Overseas Toys Parties
are also not aware of any firm offers made by any third party to acquire Simon
during the past two years. Accordingly, third-party offers were not considered
in reaching the conclusion of the Overseas Toys Parties as to fairness to Simons
unaffiliated stockholders. In addition, there is the potential for Simon to
sign a letter of intent for a Business Combination on or before
December 31, 2010, which independently of the Offer would cause Simon to
avoid mandatory liquidation. However, we did not consider that possibility to
be likely under the circumstances, and did not consider such an occurrence to
be likely to take place on or before December 31, 2010.

(19) The following is hereby added between the
penultimate and the last paragraphs under Special FactorsPosition of the
Overseas Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the OfferFactors Not
Considered of the Offer to Purchase:
As described in the
Schedule 14D-9, the Special Committee retained Greif to render an opinion to
the Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to
the unaffiliated stockholders of the Offer price to be paid to such holders in
the Offer. On November 10, 2010,
Greif rendered its oral opinion to the Special Committee, subsequently
confirmed in writing, that as of such date, and based upon the assumptions,
procedures, factors, qualifications and limitations set forth therein, the
$0.27 per Share in cash to be received by the unaffiliated stockholders who
tender their Shares in the Offer was unfair, from a financial point of view, to
such holders. As noted in the Schedule
14D-9, however, Greifs opinion is predicated in part on its assumption that
Simon will consummate a transaction that will allow it to realize the full
value of the NOLs. The Special Committee
also noted that there can be no assurance that Simon will be able to consummate
such a transaction, or that if such a transaction were to be consummated, that
the holders of Shares prior to the consummation of such transaction would
receive per-Share consideration greater than the Offer price. For the reasons set forth in the Schedule
14D-9, the Special Committee determined not to grant undue weight to Greifs
opinion and instead decided to consider the opinion in conjunction with the
other factors described in the Schedule 14D-9.
Although the Overseas Toys Parties did not consider the Greif opinion in
reaching their conclusion as to the fairness of the Offer to the unaffiliated
stockholders, the Overseas Toys Parties urge all holders of Shares to read and
consider the Schedule 14D-9 (including the Greif opinion and all other annexes
and exhibits thereto) in its entirety before making their respective decision
whether to tender any Shares in the Offer or whether to withdraw any Shares
already tendered.
(20) The first paragraph under Special
FactorsReports, Opinions or Appraisals of the Offer to Purchase is hereby
replaced in its entirety with the following:
The Overseas Toys Parties
did not commission any report, opinion or appraisal from any outside party with
respect to the Offer. The Overseas Toys
Parties determined that no such report, opinion or appraisal would be necessary
to enable them to calculate the Liquidation Value, as required pursuant to the
Amended Charter and the Recapitalization Agreement, from the information set
forth in Simons financial statements included in its most recent public
filings with the Commission. None of the
Overseas Toys Parties has received any report, opinion or appraisal from any
outside party that is materially related to the Offer. To the knowledge of the Overseas Toys Parties
after reasonable inquiry, neither Simon nor any of its affiliates, has received
any report, opinion or appraisal from any outside party that is materially
related to the Offer, except for the
Greif opinion described in Special FactorsPosition of the Overseas
Toys Parties Regarding the Fairness of the OfferFactors Not Considered and in
the Schedule 14D-9 (and a copy of which is attached as Annex II thereto), and
as follows:
(21) The third sub-bullet point under the first
bullet point under
Special FactorsPurpose and Structure of the Offer;
Our Reasons for the Offer of the Offer to Purchase is hereby replaced in its
entirety with the following:
The Offer is not subject to
any financing or due diligence contingency or subject to any conditions other
than conditions that are reasonable and customary for similar transactions and
that the Offer comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Accordingly,
the primary condition we have placed on the Offer is that, as described in
The Tender OfferSection 12Conditions to the Offer
, we
may terminate the Offer if, among other things, (a) the Offer will not be
consummated pursuant to its terms on or before December 31, 2010 due to
any governmental action or applicable law, or due to any threatened or pending
legal proceeding or investigation or (b) pursuant to applicable law or
regulation, we are required to extend the Offer to a date that is after December 31,
2010 (other than as a result of our own action or inaction). The reason for
this condition is that if the Offer is not consummated on or before December 31,
2010, it likely will not constitute a Qualified Offer under the Amended Charter
and Simon may thus be subject to mandatory liquidation pursuant to the Amended
Charter.
(22) The sole paragraph under
Special
FactorsAppraisal Rights; Rule 13e-3Rule 13e-3 of the Offer to
Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
Because the Overseas Toys
Parties are affiliates of Simon, the transactions contemplated herein
constitute a going private transaction under Rule 13e-3 under the
Exchange Act. Rule 13e-3 requires, among other things, that certain
financial information concerning Simon and certain information relating to the
fairness of the Offer to Simons unaffiliated stockholders, any subsequent
merger that may be effected following the consummation of the Offer and the
consideration offered to minority stockholders be filed with the Commission and
disclosed to minority stockholders prior to consummation of the Offer and any
such merger. We have provided such information, to the extent applicable, in
this Offer to Purchase and a tender offer statement on Schedule TO and the
exhibits thereto filed with the Commission.

(23) Footnote (a) to the table under Special
FactorsSecurity Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners in the Offer to
Purchase is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
Overseas Toys directly
beneficially owns 37,940,756 Shares. None of the other Overseas Toys Parties
directly beneficially own any Shares. By virtue of the relationships of the
Overseas Toys Parties described in this Offer, each of the Overseas Toys
Parties other than Overseas Toys may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own
the 37,940,756 Shares directly beneficially owned by Overseas Toys.
(24) The first and second paragraphs under Special
FactorsTransactions and Arrangements Concerning the Shares of the Offer to
Purchase are hereby replaced in their entirety with the following:
No transactions in the
Shares have been effected during the past 60 days by (i) the Overseas Toys
Parties, (ii) the executive officers, directors, controlling persons or
any associates or majority-owned subsidiaries (other than Simon) of the
Overseas Toys Parties and any executive officers or directors of such
subsidiaries or (iii) Simon. To the
knowledge of the Overseas Toys Parties after reasonable inquiry, no
transactions in the Shares have been effected during the past 60 days by any
executive officers, directors, controlling persons (other than the Overseas
Toys Parties) and any associates of Simon.
No purchases of Shares were
made by the Overseas Toys Parties during the past two years. No purchases of
the Shares were made by Simon during the past two years, except for the
purchase of 3,589,201 Shares at a price of $0.35 per Share on April 26,
2010 pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement, as described in Special FactorsBackgroundEquity
Repurchases by Simon.
(25) The penultimate and last paragraphs under Special
FactorsTransactions and Arrangements Concerning the Shares of the Offer to
Purchase are hereby replaced in their entirety with the following:
During the past two years,
Simon has not made any underwritten public offering of the Shares that was (i) registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or (ii) exempt
from registration under the Securities Act.
None
of the Overseas Toys Parties or any of their respective affiliates, officers or
representatives has made or hereby makes any recommendation as to whether any
of Simons stockholders should tender their respective Shares in this Offer.
To
the knowledge of the Overseas Toys Parties, none of Simon, its executive
officers, directors or affiliates has made any public recommendation with
respect to the Offer. Simons Board has
empowered the Special Committee to consider the merits of the Offer and, on November 15,
2010, the Company filed the Schedule 14D-9 with the Commission stating, among
other things, that the Special Committee is expressing no opinion to Simons
stockholders and is remaining neutral with respect to the Offer.
No executive officer,
director or controlling person of the Overseas Toys Parties currently holds of
record or beneficially owns any Shares (other than the Shares owned by Overseas
Toys which are not subject to the Offer), and accordingly, such officers,
directors and controlling persons do not hold or beneficially own any Shares
that are eligible to be tendered in the Offer. To the knowledge of the Overseas Toys Parties
after reasonable inquiry, no executive officer, director or affiliate of Simon
currently intends to tender any Shares held of record or beneficially owned by
such person in the Offer, including any Shares such person has the right to
purchase by exercising stock options. To
the knowledge of the Overseas Toys Parties after reasonable inquiry, the stated
reason for such current intention by such persons that currently own Shares (or
have the right the right to purchase Shares by exercise of stock options) is
that they believe that Simon may at some point in the future engage in a
transaction that may result in additional value to Simons stockholders. However, no such transaction has been
identified and there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be
identified, proposed or consummated.

be aware that certain officers and directors of the Overseas Toys Parties and

potential conflicts of interest in determining the fairness of the Offer to
Simons unaffiliated stockholders.
