SCHEDULE 13D
The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 24, 1990 by Meadowstar Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
Carl C. Icahn, Unicorn Associates Corporation, a New York corporation, ACF
Industries Incorporated, a New Jersey corporation, Icahn Capital Corporation,
a Delaware corporation, and Icahn Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(collectively, the "Icahn Group"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated
November 16, 1990, Amendment No. 2 dated March 19, 1992, Amendment No. 3 dated
March 18, 1993, Amendment No. 4 dated May 13, 1993, Amendment No. 5 dated
March 24, 1994 and Amendment No. 6 dated July 28, 1994 is further amended to
furnish the additional information set forth below:
Item 2. Identity and Background
Information contained in Schedule A of Item 2 is hereby amended and
restated as set forth in Schedule A to this amendment.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Information contained in Item 4, as filed on behalf of the Registrants
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as Amendment No. 6
to Schedule 13D on July 28, 1994, is amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:
On July 27, 1994, AREP filed a registration statement on Form S-3
with the SEC in connection with the proposed Rights Offering (the
"Registration Statement"). AREP is proposing to distribute at no cost to
holders of Units on the record date (the "Record Date") one subscription
right (each, a "Right") for each seven Units held. Each Right entitles the
holder thereof ("Rights Holder") to purchase the following securities:
(i) one Unit and (ii) three 5% cumulative pay-in-kind redeemable convertible
preferred units (the "Preferred Units"), a new class of security representing
limited partner interests in AREP. Each Record Date holder of Rights
("Record Date Holder") who fully exercises all of his basic subscription rights
originally issued to him (the "Basic Subscription Right") will either (a) if
AREP receives at least $45 million of gross proceeds from Rights Holders
(other than the Icahn Group and its affiliates) who exercise their Basic
Subscription Rights, be entitled to exercise an over-subscription
privilege (the "Over-Subscription Privilege") for any Units and Preferred Units
that are not purchased through the exercise of all Basic Subscription
Rights, or (b) if AREP receives less than $45 million of gross proceeds from
Rights Holders (other than the Icahn Group and its affiliates) who exercise
their Basic Subscription Rights, be entitled to subscribe for additional
Units (the "Additional Right"), up to an amount that, when added to the gross
proceeds raised through the exercise of the Basic Subscription Rights,
will provide AREP with an amount equal to the amount it would have raised
had all Basic Subscription Rights been exercised (the "Guaranteed Amount").
Prior to the Record Date, the Icahn Group intends to transfer
1,365,768 Depositary Units to a presently dormant Delaware limited
partnership (the "Guarantor") whose general partner will be American
Property Investors, Inc., a Delaware corporation wholly owned by Carl C.
Icahn ("Icahn") and the general partner of AREP (the "General Partner") and
whose limited partner(s) will be an affiliate of Icahn. It is proposed that in
connection with the Rights Offering, the Guarantor will agree (i) to
subscribe for and purchase 191,208 Units and 585,624 Preferred Units through
the exercise of its Basic Subscription Rights, (ii) to subscribe for all
other Units and Preferred Units pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege,
if one is granted, and, subject to proration, to purchase such additional
Units and Preferred Units and (iii) to subscribe for all additional Units,
through the exercise of its Additional Rights, if such rights are granted,
necessary to provide AREP with the Guaranteed Amount and, subject to
proration, to purchase such additional Units. Therefore, AREP would be
assured of receiving gross proceeds from the offering in an amount equal
to the Guaranteed Amount. (The proposed agreement which encompasses, among
other things, the Guarantor's agreement to subscribe to the securities
offered in the Rights Offering is herein referred to as the "Subscription
Guaranty.")
It is contemplated that in consideration of the Guarantor's
commitment, AREP would issue warrants to the Guarantor to purchase additional
Units (the "Warrants"). The terms of the Subscription Guaranty and the terms of
the Warrants, including the number of Units to be acquired pursuant to
exercise of such warrants, have not been fully determined as of the date
hereof. The issuance of the Warrants to the Guarantor as compensation for
its Subscription Guaranty must be approved by the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors of the General Partner. The Audit Committee consists
solely of directors not affiliated with the General Partner or any of its
affiliates including the Guarantor and Icahn. In considering the
compensation to be paid to the Guarantor, the Audit Committee will review
and consider the opinion provided to it by an investment banking firm
which will render its opinion to the Board of Directors solely with respect to
such compensation to the effect that such compensation is fair to AREP and its
Partners from a financial standpoint.
Assuming the completion of the Rights Offering and the exercise by
all Rights Holders of their Basic Subscription Rights, the Icahn Group,
through the Guarantor, will own a total of 1,556,976 Units (representing
9.85% of the Units outstanding after giving effect to the Rights Offering)
and 573,624 Preferred Units. If other Rights Holders do not exercise their
Basic Subscription Rights, the Icahn Group, through the Guarantor,could
acquire additional Units (the number of which cannot as of the date hereof be
determined, but which may nonetheless be significant).
In addition, it is contemplated that the General Partner has agreed
that in the event that a distribution is not made to the holders of Preferred
Units for a two-year period, a meeting may be called by holders owning at
least 10% of the total number of Preferred Units then outstanding, to elect
two nominees for the Board of Directors of the General Partner and its Audit
Committee.
Except as set forth above, the Icahn Group has no present plans or
intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transaction
described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
