STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1
OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Introduction
This amendment ("Amendment No. 4") amends the Schedule 13D Statement, dated July 3, 2008 (the "Statement", as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated August 18, 2008, Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated September 3, 2008, and Amendment No. 3 thereto, dated June 24, 2009, the "Amended Statement") filed on behalf of (i) MP CA Homes LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor"), (ii) MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners III L.P. ("Matlin Partners (Delaware)"), a Delaware limited partnership, (iii) MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners (Cayman) III L.P. ("Matlin Partners (Cayman)" and, together with Matlin Partners (Delaware), the "Matlin Partners"), a Cayman Islands limited partnership, (iv) MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC ("Matlin Advisers"), a Delaware limited liability company, by virtue of its investment authority over securities held by each of the Matlin Partners, (v) MatlinPatterson Global Partners III LLC ("Matlin Global Partners"), a Delaware limited liability company, as the general partner of each of the Matlin Partners, (vi) MatlinPatterson Asset Management LLC ("Matlin Asset Management"), a Delaware limited liability company, as the holder of all of the membership interests in Matlin Global Partners and Matlin Advisers, (vii) MatlinPatterson LLC ("MatlinPatterson"), a Delaware limited liability company, as the holder of all of the membership interests in Matlin Asset Management, and (viii) David J. Matlin and Mark R. Patterson each, as a holder of 50% of the membership interests in MatlinPatterson. The Investor, Matlin Partners (Delaware), Matlin Partners (Cayman), Matlin Advisers, Matlin Global Partners, Matlin Asset Management, MatlinPatterson, David J. Matlin and Mark R. Patterson are collectively referred to in this Statement as the "Reporting Persons" and each is a "Reporting Person." Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Statement. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Amended Statement.
Item 4 | Purpose of the Transaction |
Item 4 is amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On November 23, 2010 (the "Effective Date"), the Investor and the Issuer entered into an Amendment to the Warrant (the "Warrant Amendment") pursuant to which the Warrant was amended to grant the Investor the right to purchase 89,400,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.09732 per share of Common Stock.
Item 5. | Interests in Securities of the Issuer |
The Investor beneficially owns, and is the record holder of 450,829 shares of Junior Preferred Stock and the Warrant to acquire 89,400,000 shares of Common Stock. The Junior Preferred Stock, together with the Common Stock represented by the Warrant, currently represent 49% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Issuer. The Junior Preferred Stock will vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis provided that the votes attributable to such shares of Junior Preferred Stock held by the Investor, together with votes attributable to shares of Common Stock held by the Investor, cannot exceed 49% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Issuer. The Junior Preferred Stock is initially convertible into up to 147,812,786 shares of Common Stock; however, the Investor is not entitled to convert the Junior Preferred Stock into Common Stock unless after such conversion it and its affiliates would hold no more than 49% of the voting power of the voting stock of the Issuer. Upon a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer, the holders of Junior Preferred Stock will receive the
amount payable if the Junior Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidating distribution. For such purposes, the as-converted number for the Junior Preferred Stock would be 147,812,786 shares of Common Stock, which, together with the 89,400,000 shares of Common Stock represented by the Warrant, equals approximately 68.9% of the outstanding Common Stock on an as-converted basis.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is amended and supplemented by adding the following:
As described in Item 4, on the Effective Date, the Investor and the Issuer entered into the Warrant Amendment pursuant to which the Warrant was amended to grant the Investor the right to purchase 89,400,000 share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.09732 per share of Common Stock. The Warrant Amendment requires that the Investor exercise the Warrant in full, by payment of the exercise price by tendering cash, at any time from and after Effective Date, but in no event later than one business day immediately following the earlier of (i) the successful consummation of the Issuer’s cash tender offers for any and all of the Company's 9 1/4% senior subordinated notes due April 15, 2012, 6 1/4% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and 7 % senior notes due August 15, 2015, and (ii) the six month anniversary of the Effective Date. The terms of the Warrant Amendment prohibit the Investor from (i) transferring the Warrant, and (ii) transferring any capital stock of the Issuer prior to the nine month anniversary of the Effective Date; in each case other than to an affiliate of the Investor.
