This Statement constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 18, 2007, by ZZZ Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ZZZ”), Golden Gate Capital Investment Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GGC Fund II”), Golden Gate Capital Management II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“GGC Management II”), David C. Dominik, a citizen of the United States, Jesse T. Rogers, a citizen of the United States, Catalog Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), Appleseed’s Topco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Appleseed’s”) and BLR Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“BLR”) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

Only those items which are hereby reported are amended.  All other items remain unchanged. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D as amended to date, unless otherwise indicated herein.

Item 4.                    Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following:

 

                On January 23, 2007, the Issuer, BLR and Appleseed’s, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Appleseed’s will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for $42.50 per share in cash, without interest, or approximately $173.6 million in the aggregate.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer is to be acquired by Appleseed’s through a merger of BLR and the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Appleseed’s following the Merger.

 

                The Merger is expected to be completed in the Spring of 2007.  Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Common Stock would no longer be traded on the American Stock Exchange and the Issuer would no longer be required to file reports with the SEC.  The consummation of the Merger is subject to the approval of the Issuer's stockholders, the expiration of any required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and satisfaction of certain other closing conditions.  The Reporting Persons intend to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the Merger.

                                The Merger Agreement and the joint press release issued by the Issuer and Appleseed’s, dated January 23, 2007, announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1, respectively, to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2007 with the SEC, are each incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6.                    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.                    Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

2.                                       The Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Blair Corporation, BLR Acquisition Corp. and Appleseed’s Topco, Inc., dated January 23, 2007, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Blair Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K

10




 

dated January 23, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is incorporated herein by reference.

3.                                       The joint press release issued by Blair Corporation and Appleseed’s Topco, Inc., dated January 23, 2007, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Blair Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 23, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is incorporated herein by reference.
