FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
VEMCO ACQUISITION CORP. COMMENCES $8.75 PER SHARE
TENDER OFFER FOR BAILEY CORPORATION
Fraser, Michigan, June 11, 1996 -- Vemco Acquisition Corp. ("Vemco"), a
corporation formed by Venture Holdings Trust ("Venture"), has commenced its
previously announced cash tender offer at $8.75 per share, net to seller,
for all outstanding shares of common stock of Bailey Corporation
(NASDAQ:BAIB). The Offer is being made by the Offer to Purchase and related
Letter of Transmittal which are being mailed to holders of the Bailey common
stock.
The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (1) there being validly
tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer and not withdrawn that number
of shares of Bailey common stock which, together with the shares then owned
by Vemco or Venture, represents at least a majority of the shares of Bailey
common stock outstanding on a fully-diluted basis, (2) Venture having
received the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, dated June 3,
1996, from NBD Bank pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, NBD Bank has committed to provide all of the financing necessary to
purchase all outstanding shares of Bailey common stock on a fully-diluted
basis pursuant to the Offer and the subsequent merger of Vemco into Bailey
and to refinance all outstanding indebtedness of Bailey reflected on its
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (3) the
applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976 having expired or terminated, and (4) Bailey having given notice
of redemption for all convertible debentures which are redeemable at
Bailey's option in accordance with their terms.
Vemco has entered into an agreement with Roger G. Phillips, William A.
Taylor, Louis T. Enos, E. Gordon Young, John G. Owens and Allan B. Freedman,
directors and executive officers of Bailey, pursuant to which each
individual has granted an option to Venture to acquire all of the shares of
Bailey common stock beneficially owned by them, to tender their Bailey
shares (representing approximately 26.0% in the aggregate of Bailey's
outstanding shares on a fully-diluted basis) into the Offer and to vote
their shares in favor of any merger that may be required to complete the
acquisition by Venture of all of the outstanding Bailey common stock.
Following the successful consummation of the Offer, Vemco will be merged
into Bailey and stockholders of Bailey will receive $8.75 in cash for each
share of Bailey common stock.
The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City
Time, on Friday, July 12, 1996, unless extended by Vemco.
MacKenzie Partners, Inc., is acting as Information Agent for the Offer.
