Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The purpose of the purchase by WAC of 180,000 shares of Common Stock is to
acquire a significant equity interest in Laminating Technologies. WAC may
utilize this equity interest in Laminating Technologies to pursue one or more of
the courses of action described below. Whether WAC pursues any one or more of
the following courses of action will depend on a number of factors, including
WAC's evaluation of Laminating Technologies' business, prospects and financial
condition, the market for the Common Stock, other opportunities available to
WAC, other transactions entered into or planned to be entered into by Laminating
Technologies, actions taken by other persons who may be seeking control of
Laminating Technologies, prospects for WAC's own business, general economic
conditions and other future developments. The courses of action that WAC may
follow are described below:
(A) WAC may decide to sell all or part of its investment in the Common
Stock in the open market or in private transactions or by any other permissible
means. WAC has no current intention to sell its investment in Laminating
Technologies' Common Stock.
(B) WAC may elect to hold its current interest in Laminating Technologies'
Common Stock for investment purposes only.
(C) WAC may seek to acquire control of Laminating Technologies. WAC has not
formulated a specific plan or proposal to acquire control of Laminating
Technologies and there can be no assurance that any such plan or proposal will
be developed or as to the terms or the timing of any such plan or proposal. Any
such plan or proposal that may be formulated could involve seeking
representation on the Board of Directors of Laminating Technologies, purchasing
additional Common Stock in the open market or in private transactions, making a
tender offer for all or some lesser amount of Laminating Technologies' Common
Stock or proposing a business combination transaction with Laminating
Technologies.
(D) WAC may seek to take steps that would impede the acquisition of
control of Laminating Technologies by another person. WAC has not formulated a
specific plan or proposal to impede acquisition of control of Laminating
Technologies by another person, and there can be no assurance that any such plan
or proposal will be developed or that WAC will seek to impede acquisition of
control of Laminating Technologies by another person. Any such plan or proposal
may include entering into voting agreements with other shareholders of
Laminating Technologies, acquiring additional shares of Common Stock, offering
to pay a premium over another offer received by Laminating Technologies or its
shareholders for the Common Stock, seeking amendments to Laminating
Technologies' articles of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents,
seeking to merge with or acquire the assets of Laminating Technologies, or
taking other steps WAC determines are necessary or appropriate to impede
acquisition of control of Laminating Technologies by another person. In the
event another person does seek to acquire control of Laminating Technologies,
WAC may attempt to impede that acquisition, may compete for control of
Laminating Technologies, may initially compete for control of Laminating
Technologies and subsequently withdraw its interest in seeking control, or may
do nothing.
WAC's election to pursue any one of the foregoing courses of action will
not, by itself, constitute an abandonment of any other course of action. WAC may
pursue more than one of the foregoing courses of action sequentially or
simultaneously. However, at the present time WAC has not formulated a plan to
pursue any of the foregoing courses of action.
Except as described in this Item 4, WAC has not formulated any plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any matter required to be disclosed
in response to paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
