This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and restates the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed originally with the Securities Exchange Commission on February 28, 2019 (the “Schedule TO”) by Winmark Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”).

The Company’s offer is made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 28, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are incorporated by reference to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), which together as each may be amended and supplemented from time to time constitute the “Offer.”
This Amendment No. 1 is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
