(1) The calculation of this percentage is based on the 4,030,049 shares of common stock of CFC
International, Inc. (CFC) outstanding as of June 19, 2006, as represented by CFC in the Merger
Agreement (as defined below).
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Statement on Schedule 13D (this Statement) relates to shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the Common Stock), of CFC International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (CFC), which has its principal executive office at 500 State Street, Chicago
Heights, Illinois 60411.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a), (b), (c) and (f) This statement is being filed by Illinois Tool Works Inc., a Delaware
corporation (ITW). ITWs principal business address is 3600 W. Lake Avenue, Glenview,
Illinois 60026. ITWs principal business is the worldwide manufacture of highly engineered
products and specialty systems. The name, citizenship, business address, present principal
occupation or employment, and the name and principal business and address of any corporation or
other organization in which such employment is conducted, of each of the directors and executive
officers of ITW are as set forth in Annex I hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(d) and (e) During the last five years, neither ITW, nor, to ITWs knowledge, any of the
individuals listed in Annex I, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in 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
CFC and ITW have entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 19,
2006 (the Merger Agreement), for CFC to be acquired in an all-cash transaction valued at
$16.75 per share of Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share, of CFC
(the Class B Stock). As an inducement for ITW to enter into the Merger Agreement with
CFC, and in consideration thereof, certain stockholders of CFC have entered into a Principal
Stockholders Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2006 (the Stockholders Agreement), with
ITW and GEM Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of ITW (Sub). The names of such
stockholders and number of shares of common stock owned by each is set forth in Exhibit
99.2. Such stockholders (collectively, the Voting Holders) beneficially own
2,364,349 shares of Common Stock.
ITW presently expects that the consideration paid by it to the holders of Common Stock and
Class B Stock following the consummation of the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be
financed through cash on hand and its other working capital resources. ITW did not pay additional
consideration to the Voting Holders in connection with the execution and delivery of the
Stockholders Agreement. Copies of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement are filed
as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Voting Holders entered into the Stockholders Agreement in order to induce ITW to enter
into the Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Merger Agreement
provides for the merger (the Merger) of Sub with and into CFC. At the effective time of
the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock and Class B Stock (other than shares of Common
Stock or Class B Stock that are held by CFC as treasury stock or owned by CFC, any of its
subsidiaries, ITW or Sub and other than shares of Common Stock or Class B Stock that are held by
stockholders, if any, who properly exercise their dissenters rights under Delaware law) will be
converted into the right to receive $16.75 in cash, without interest.
The Merger Agreement has been approved by the board of directors of each of CFC and ITW. The
transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. The Voting
Holders have executed and delivered a written consent adopting the Merger Agreement and approving
the Merger. As a result, no further stockholder action will be required to adopt the Merger
Agreement or approve the Merger.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Voting Holders, the beneficial owners of
2,364,349 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 58.7% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, have agreed, among other things, (a) to consent in writing to
the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger in respect of all of the shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such holder and (b) to
3 of 8
vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each such stockholder: (i) in favor of the
Merger and the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii)
against approval of any proposal made in opposition to or competition with consummation of the
Merger and the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any Alternative Acquisition Proposal (as such term
is defined in the Merger Agreement) from any party other than ITW or an affiliate of ITW as
contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iv) against any proposal that is intended to, or is
reasonably likely to, result in the conditions of ITWs or Subs obligations under the Merger
Agreement not being fulfilled; (v) against any extraordinary corporate transaction (other than the
Merger), such as a merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer,
reorganization, recapitalization, sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets or securities
of CFC or any of CFCs subsidiaries (other than in connection with the Merger); (vi) against any
amendment of CFCs certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and (vii) against any dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of CFC or any of CFCs subsidiaries.
Each Voting Holder has also agreed not to: (a) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, pledge or
otherwise dispose of, or consent to any of the foregoing, any or all of the shares subject to the
Stockholders Agreement or any shares of Class B Stock of which such Voting Holder is the
beneficial owner or any right or interest therein (Transfer); (b) enter into any
contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any Transfer; (c)
grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the
shares subject to the Stockholders Agreement (other than the proxy contemplated in Section 3 of
the Stockholders Agreement); or (d) deposit any of the shares subject to the Stockholders
Agreement into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any
of the shares subject to the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement expires upon the
earlier to occur of (i) such time as the Merger becomes effective and (ii) such time as the Merger
Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
The purpose of the Stockholders Agreement is to enable ITW and CFC to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Upon the consummation of the Merger, the directors of Sub immediately prior to the effective
time of the Merger shall be the directors of the surviving corporation, until their respective
successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or
removal, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving
corporation. The officers of Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be
the officers of the surviving corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or
appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation.
At the effective time of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Sub shall
be the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the surviving corporation until thereafter
changed or amended as provided by applicable law.
If the Merger is consummated as planned, ITW anticipates that CFC will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of ITW and that ITW will seek to cause the Common Stock to be deregistered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and delisted from quotation on the Nasdaq National
Market.
The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholders
Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of such agreements.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) and (b) As a result of the Stockholders Agreement, ITW may be deemed to have (i)
beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) and (ii) shared
power to vote or direct the vote of 2,364,349 shares of Common Stock, which represents
approximately 58.7% of the shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of June 19,
2006, as represented by CFC in the Merger Agreement, subject to the conditions and limitations of
the Stockholders Agreement.
Apart from the terms and conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, ITW is not
entitled to any rights of a stockholder of CFC. ITW does not, other than as specified in the
Stockholders Agreement, have (i) sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote or (ii) sole or
shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of Common Stock.
4 of 8
(c) Except as set forth or incorporated herein, neither ITW nor, to ITWs knowledge, any of
the individuals listed in Annex I has effected any transaction in Common Stock during the past 60
days.
(d) Dennis W. Lakomy has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
from, or the proceeds from the sale of, 314,133 of the shares of Common Stock identified in
paragraph (a) of this Item 5.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
Issuer
Reference is made to Item 4 above.
In addition, ITW and Sub entered into a Stockholder Agreement (the Lakomy
Agreement), dated as of June 19, 2006, with Dennis W. Lakomy, CFCs chief financial officer,
who had previously granted to Roger F. Hruby an irrevocable proxy to vote certain shares of Common
Stock owned by Mr. Lakomy. The Lakomy Agreement provides that Mr. Lakomy will not transfer, sell,
gift, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock that are subject to the
irrevocable proxy granted to Mr. Hruby.
A copy of the Lakomy Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.3, and is incorporated herein by
reference.
