| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The information set forth in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
Merger Agreement
On June 4, 2026, the Issuer completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 20, 2026 (the "Original Merger Agreement," and as amended on March 25, 2026, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, W.D. Company, Inc., an Arkansas corporation ("WDC"), and Alex Dillard (solely in his capacity as the representative of the shareholders of WDC), including the merger of WDC with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger (collectively, the "Transactions").
WDC was a privately held Arkansas corporation that was organized as a family holding company to own and hold shares of Dillard's Common Stock (as defined below) primarily for the benefit of the Dillard family. WDC had no business operations and engaged in no business activities other than (a) owning, holding, and disposing of certain equity securities, including shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock (together, the "Dillard's Common Stock") and a de minimis amount of shares of another publicly traded common stock, and (b) receiving cash dividends from the Issuer and distributing such dividends directly to WDC's shareholders, including the Reporting Persons (the "WDC Shareholders"), in each case solely in a manner incidental to the ownership of such securities and the maintenance of WDC's corporate existence. As of the date of the Merger Agreement, WDC owned 41,496 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,985,776 shares of Class B Common Stock.
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of voting common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of WDC (the "WDC Voting Common Stock") and each share of non-voting common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of WDC (the "WDC Non-Voting Common Stock", and together with the WDC Voting Common Stock, the "WDC Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled, and each WDC Shareholder became entitled to receive such WDC Shareholder's Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of (a) up to 41,496 shares of Class A Common Stock and up to 3,985,776 shares of Class B Common Stock, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any fractional shares; and (b) the amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) WDC's cash and cash equivalents as of the closing date of the Merger (the "Closing Date"), plus (ii) the amount equal to the average of the high and low trading prices of other publicly traded securities owned by WDC, determined on the last trading day 2 business days prior to the Closing Date. "Pro Rata Share" means, with respect to any WDC Shareholder, a fraction expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of shares of WDC Common Stock held by such WDC Shareholder immediately prior to the Effective Time and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of WDC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
At the Effective Time, the shares of Dillard's Common Stock held by WDC immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically became treasury stock of the Issuer, as the surviving corporation, and, immediately thereafter, were cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares available for future reissuance. As a result of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares, the Issuer ultimately issued 41,494 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,985,758 shares of Class B Common Stock, in the aggregate, to WDC Shareholders (the "Aggregate Issued Stock Merger Consideration") and paid $85,652.51 in cash, in the aggregate, to WDC Shareholders. Because the shares of Dillard's Common Stock held by WDC were cancelled, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held by WDC immediately prior to the Effective Time exceeded the Aggregate Issued Stock Merger Consideration, the former WDC Shareholders, collectively, have a slightly lower percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of the Issuer following the consummation of the Merger as such shareholders held immediately prior to the Effective Time. Accordingly, there was no dilution to current shareholders of the Issuer as a result of the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, does not purport to be complete and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Merger Agreement, and Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4, respectively.
General
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D in connection with the transactions and agreements as discussed above and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, and the Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis.
Subject to the Issuer's insider trading policy, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board, and shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the shares of Class A Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer's business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board. Holders of Class A Common Stock are empowered as a class to elect one-third of the members of the Board of Directors, and the holders of Class B Common Stock are empowered as a class to elect two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis taking into consideration various factors, including the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for shares of Class A Common Stock, in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.
Subject to the Issuer's insider trading policy, any open market or privately negotiated purchases or sales, acquisition recommendations or proposals or other transactions concerning the Issuer may be made at any time without prior notice. Any alternative may depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the securities, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general industry conditions, the availability, form and terms of financing, other investment and business opportunities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors.
Depending upon each factor discussed above and any other factor (which may be unknown at this time) that is, or may become relevant, the Reporting Persons may consider, among other things: (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer, the disposition of securities of the Issuer, or the exercise of convertible securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present Board or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's articles of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer's securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
Except to the extent that the foregoing may be deemed to be a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of this Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending upon the foregoing factors and to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment policies, or other factors, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the shares of Class A Common Stock, or any other actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will take any of the actions set forth above. | |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is stated in Items 11 and 13 on the cover page(s) hereto. |

Other than the shares acquired pursuant to the Merger and the transactions reported in Annex A to this Schedule 13D, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the shares of Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days. |
| (d) | No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Class A Common Stock described herein. |
| (e) | Not applicable. |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as described in this Item 6 and otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons currently have any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with any person with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock or any other securities of the Issuer.
Voting and Exchange Agreement
On March 19, 2026, the Reporting Persons, certain WDC Shareholders and the Issuer entered into a Voting and Exchange Agreement (the "Voting and Exchange Agreement"), effective as of June 4, 2026, with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock that were received by such WDC Shareholders as part of the Aggregate Issued Stock Merger Consideration, as discussed in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. Pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Agreement, such WDC Shareholders agreed to, among other things as discussed below, continue voting their respective shares of Class B Common Stock as a unified group following the Merger. In addition, the Voting and Exchange Agreement includes a right of first offer mandating that each Dillard family member must offer for purchase his or her shares of Class B Common Stock to the other Dillard family members party to the Voting and Exchange Agreement prior to selling to a non-Dillard family member.
The Voting and Exchange Agreement is intended to ensure that, following the Effective Time: (i) the Issuer retains its status as a "controlled company" under the listing rules of NYSE (or any successor stock exchange), (ii) the shareholders party to the Voting and Exchange Agreement vote their shares of Class B Common Stock in a consistent and unified manner, and (iii) all shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement are held only by lineal descendants of William T. Dillard and other permitted transferees.
The Voting and Exchange Agreement provides for the appointment of 3 authorized representatives (the "Authorized Representatives"), who are elected by a majority vote of the shares subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement. The initial Authorized Representatives are the Reporting Persons. Each Authorized Representative will serve in such capacity until his earlier death, incapacity, resignation or removal. Any Authorized Representative may be removed at any time for any reason or no reason upon a majority vote of the shares subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement.
The shareholders party to the Voting and Exchange Agreement agreed to: (i) vote all of their shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement on any matter that requires or permits the vote of such shares in such manner as determined by a majority of the Authorized Representatives, including an abstention from voting if so determined by a majority of the Authorized Representatives; (ii) grant an irrevocable proxy to the Authorized Representatives (and each of them individually), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement in accordance with the determinations of a majority of the Authorized Representatives; (iii) not deposit any shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to such shares (other than as set forth in the Voting and Exchange Agreement), or subject any such shares to any other voting arrangement; (iv) not transfer any shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement, except for (A) permitted transfers to lineal descendants of William T. Dillard, surviving spouses of such lineal descendants, trusts for the sole benefit of such persons, or entities wholly owned by such persons or trusts, in each case where the transferee agrees to be bound by the Voting and Exchange Agreement, or (B) transfers made in compliance with the right of first offer provisions described below; and (v) comply with certain stop transfer instructions and restrictive legend requirements with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement.
The Voting and Exchange Agreement contains a right of first offer in favor of the other shareholders party to the Voting and Exchange Agreement in the event any shareholders desires to transfer shares of Class B Common Stock to a person other than a permitted transferee. Before any such transfer may be made, the transferring shareholder must provide advance written notice to the Secretary of the Issuer, and the other shareholders party to the Voting and Exchange Agreement will have the opportunity to acquire the shares proposed to be transferred.
The Voting and Exchange Agreement also provides for a Issuer-facilitated exchange mechanism to allow shareholders party to the Voting and Exchange Agreement to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock from a transferring shareholder in exchange for shares of Class A Common Stock. Under this mechanism: (i) the transferring shareholder surrenders shares of Class B Common Stock to the Issuer and concurrently receives an equal number of newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, in an exchange intended to be exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act; and (ii) the acquiring shareholder surrenders shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer and concurrently receives an equal number of newly issued shares of Class B Common Stock, in an exchange intended to be exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
The Issuer will not receive any commission or other remuneration for effecting such exchanges, and such exchanges will not result in the dilution of any current shareholders of the Issuer. If any shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to a proposed transfer are not acquired by other shareholders for cash or exchanged through the Issuer-facilitated exchange mechanism, such remaining shares may be transferred without restriction, provided that such shares have been converted to shares of Class A Common Stock prior to such transfer.
The Voting and Exchange Agreement will terminate upon the mutual written consent of shareholders holding at least ninety percent (90%) of the shares subject to the Voting and Exchange Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Voting and Exchange Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Voting and Exchange Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5. | |
