This Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Amendment”), filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 5, 2010, amends and supplements
the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed on January 7, 2010 as amended by Amendment No. 1
filed on January 14, 2010, Amendment No. 2 filed on January 21, 2010 and Amendment No. 3 filed on
January 29, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”) and relates to the offer by THP
Merger Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of
common stock, $0.01
2
/
3
par value (including the associated preferred stock purchase rights, the
“Shares”), of Quixote Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Quixote”), at a purchase price of $6.38
per Share (the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any
required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase dated January 7, 2010 (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto,
collectively constitute the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies
of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively (which,
together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time,
collectively constitute the “Offer”). The Schedule TO (including the Offer to Purchase) filed with
the SEC by Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity”), the parent of Purchaser, on January 7, 2010 (and
any further amendments thereto), and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9
filed with the SEC by Quixote on January 7, 2010 (and any further amendments thereto), contain
important information about the Offer, all of which should be read carefully by Quixote
stockholders before any decision is made with respect to the Offer.
Documentation relating to the Offer has been mailed to Quixote’s stockholders and may be
obtained at no charge at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov and may also be obtained
at no charge by directing a request by mail to D.F. King & Co., Inc., 48 Wall Street, New York, New
York 10005, or by calling toll-free at (800) 290-6427.
All information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is
incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 12 in the Schedule TO, except those items as
to which information is specifically provided herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.
Item 11.
Additional Information.
Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text to
such Item:
“The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Thursday,
February 4, 2010. The Depositary has advised that, as of the expiration time, an aggregate of
8,155,248 Shares (including approximately 87,689 Shares subject to guarantees of delivery) were
validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 87.37% of the total outstanding
Shares. In total, taking into account the Shares tendered to Purchaser in the tender offer and the
404,700 Shares already held by Purchaser, Purchaser holds 8,559,948 Shares, representing
approximately 91.71% of the total outstanding Shares. Therefore, the Minimum Condition has been
satisfied. All Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn have been accepted for
purchase by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will promptly pay for such Shares at the Offer Price.
Trinity intends to promptly effect a short-form merger under Delaware law and, as a result,
Quixote will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity.
As a result of the Merger, any Shares not tendered in the Offer (other than Shares held (i) in
the treasury of Quixote or by Quixote’s subsidiaries, Trinity or the Purchaser or (ii) by
stockholders who validly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to such Shares)
will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the same $6.38 in cash per Share, without
interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, that was paid in the Offer.
Following the Merger, the Shares will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Global Market.
The full text of the press release issued by Trinity and the Purchaser announcing the
completion of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(K) and is incorporated herein by
reference.”
