This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") amends and supplements the
Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") originally filed on October 6,
1999, by H.J. Heinz Company, a Pennsylvania corporation, and Boulder, Inc.
(formerly Earth's Best, Inc.), an Idaho corporation, relating to the shares
(the "Common Stock") of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of The Hain
Celestial Group, Inc. (formerly The Hain Food Group, Inc.) ("Hain" or the
"Company").
All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 without definition have
the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.
The items of the Schedule 13D set forth below are hereby amended and
supplemented as follows:
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 is amended by amending and restating the first paragraph thereof:
This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of the following
persons (together, the "Reporting Persons"): H. J. Heinz Company, a
Pennsylvania corporation ("Heinz"), and Boulder, Inc. (formerly Earth's
Best, Inc.), an Idaho corporation ("EB"), and a wholly owned subsidiary of
Heinz.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 is amended by adding the following paragraph immediately after the
final paragraph thereof:
Funds required to complete the acquisition contemplated by the
Agreement and Cross Receipt described below were provided to EB by Heinz.
The cash provided by Heinz was funded through internally generated funds.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is amended by adding the following paragraph immediately after the
final paragraph thereof:
On May 30, 2000, in connection with Hain's acquisition of Celestial
Seasonings, Inc., Hain issued an additional 10,662,224 shares of Common
Stock. On May 31, 2000, Hain provided EB with notice of EB's right under
Section 5.01 of the Investor's Agreement to purchase up to 2,582,774
shares (the "Additional Shares") of Common Stock at the closing price for
shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on May 30, 2000 of
$30.875 per share to maintain EB's initial ownership percentage following
the issuance of shares of Common Stock by Hain upon the exercise of stock
options, warrants and upon the conversion of outstanding convertible
notes. Thereafter, EB notified Hain of the exercise of EB's right under
Section 5.03 of the Investor's Agreement to purchase the Additional Shares
in the public market. On June 19, 2000, EB and Hain entered into an
Agreement and Cross Receipt (the "Agreement and Cross Receipt"). Pursuant
