Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) The Reporting Persons beneficially own 13,472,357.5 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 19.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, based on the Issuers representation that there were 63,392,597 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of March 1, 2004. |
|
WTM owns no shares of record of Common Stock of the Issuer and beneficially owns (through FA Re, OBIC, PGIC and CFIA, which are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of WTM) 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and non-voting warrants to acquire 7,172,357.5 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at a price of $16.67 per share through January 3, 2012 which were currently exercisable. FA Re beneficially owns non-voting warrants to acquire 7,172,357.5 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 10.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, at a price of $16.67 per share through January 3, 2012 which were currently exercisable. OBIC beneficially owns 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 5.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. PGIC beneficially owns 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 2.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. CFIA beneficially owns 900,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. |
|
John J. Byrne, a person named in Item 2 hereof, is deemed to beneficially own 300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Included in Mr. Byrne's holdings is 60,000 shares of Common Stock owned by his wife and Mr. Byrne disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares. K.Thomas Kemp, a person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns 60,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Gordon S. Macklin, a person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns 30,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Allan L. Waters, a person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns 30,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Joseph S. Steinberg, a person named in Item 2 hereof, beneficially owns 15,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Each of the above named persons beneficially owns less than 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. John G. Gillespie, a person named in Item 2 hereof, is deemed to beneficially own 974,460 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 1.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Mr. Gillespie's beneficial interest in this number of shares of Common Stock is comprised of (i) 854,460 shares of Common Stock owned by various private investment funds managed by Prospector Partners LLC in which Mr. Gillespie is the managing member, (ii) 60,000 shares of Common Stock held by Gillespie Family 2000, LLC in which Mr. Gillespie's interest is limited to that as co-managing member, (iii) 36,000 shares of Common Stock held by Main Street America Assurance Corporation to which Mr.Gillespie serves as an investment manager and (iv) 24,000 shares of Common Stock held by National Grange Mutual Insurance Company to which Mr. Gillespie serves as an investment manager. Mr. Gillespie disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of |
11
Common Stock referenced in (i) through (iv) above except to the extent of Mr. Gillespie's pecuniary interest therein. |
(b) In general, except as provided in the Issuers bye-laws, shareholders have one vote for each share of Common Stock held by them and are entitled to vote on a non-cumulative basis at all meetings of shareholders. The Issuers bye-laws provide, among other things, that if, and so long as, the Controlled Shares (as defined below) of any person would otherwise represent more than 9.5% of the voting power of all of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, then the votes conferred by the Controlled Shares owned by such person shall be automatically reduced by whatever amount is necessary so that after any reduction of the votes conferred by the Controlled Shares of such person shall constitute 9.5% of the total voting power of all the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally at any election of directors. Controlled Shares means, among other things, all shares of Common Stock that a person is deemed to beneficially own, directly, indirectly or constructively (within the meaning of Section 958 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended). Therefore, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons presently believe that they would not be entitled to more than 9.5% of the voting power of all of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote generally at any election of directors. |
Subject to the foregoing paragraph, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 13,472,357.5 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as to which they have (i) shared power to vote or direct the vote and (ii) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition. WTM owns no shares of record of Common Stock of the Issuer and beneficially owns 6,300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer and non-voting warrants to acquire 7,172,357.5 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as to which it has (i) shared power to vote or direct the vote and (ii) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition. FA Re beneficially owns non-voting warrants to acquire 7,172,357.5 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as to which it has (i) shared power to vote or direct the vote and (ii) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition. OBIC beneficially owns 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as to which it has (i) shared power to vote or direct the vote and (ii) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition.
