This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Concord
Milestone Plus, L.P. (the "Partnership") on May 10, 2005 in response to the
offer by Sutter Opportunity Fund 3, LLC, Sutter Opportunity Fund 3 (TE), LLC,
SCM-CMP Acquisition Fund, LLC, MacKenzie Patterson Fuller, Inc., Robert E. Dixon
and C.E. Patterson (the "Purchasers") in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
TO (the "Tender Offer") filed on April 27, 2005 to purchase any and/or all of
the outstanding Equity Units, each of which consists of one Class A Interest and
one Class B Interest, for a purchase price of $2.50 per Equity Unit.
ITEM 4. THE SOLICITATION OR RECOMMENDATION.
Item 4(b) is hereby amended to add the following:
(b) Reasons.
If any person or group controlled a majority of the outstanding Class
A Interests and a majority of the outstanding Class B Interests (interests owned
by the General Partner and certain affiliates of the General Partner who are not
individuals are not deemed outstanding for this purpose), such person or group
would be able to direct the vote of a majority in interest of the Limited
Partners of the Partnership. Under Section 11.2 of the Partnership Agreement, a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners may do any of the following without
the concurrence of the General Partner:
o amend the Partnership Agreement (except that no such amendment shall
(x) be effective to change the obligations or rights of any partner or
interest holder as to capital, allocations or distributions without
such partner's or interest holder's consent (other than certain
modifications which the General Partner determines are prudent to
comply with federal income tax regulations), (y) in any manner allow
Limited Partners or interest holders to take part in the control of
the Partnership's business, or (z) alter certain rights, powers,
duties or interests of the General Partner without the General
Partner's consent);
o dissolve the Partnership;
o remove the General Partner and elect a replacement therefor; and
o approve or disapprove the sale of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership.
In addition, a majority in interest of the Limited Partners may, under other
provisions of the Partnership Agreement, grant or deny consent to the General
Partner to designate one or more persons to be an additional general partner,
and appoint a new General Partner in the event of the withdrawal of a General
Partner in violation of the Partnership Agreement.
If one person or group were to acquire a majority of the Class A Interests and a
majority of the Class B Interests, the holders of the minority of Class A
Interests and Class B Interests that remain outstanding and not held by such
person or group would continue to have the same economic and other rights as
before, however, they would not have the voting power to block any of the
actions which could be taken by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners
as described above.
The Partnership has no prior relationship with or knowledge of the Purchasers
and, therefore, it has no basis on which to assess whether the Purchasers would,
if they do ultimately acquire a majority of the outstanding Class A Interests
and Class B Interests, exercise their voting rights in a manner which will be
beneficial or harmful to the Partnership.
ITEM 8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Item 8 is hereby amended to add the following:
As of May 19, 2005, 58,410 Class A Interests (representing approximately 4%
of the Class A Interests) and 58,410 Class B Interests (representing
approximately 3% of the Class B Interests) had been transferred during the
preceding 12 months. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the
limitations on the transfers of interests in the Partnership in Section 13.5 of
the Partnership Agreement may not be waived. However, a majority in interest of
the Limited Partners may be able to amend the Partnership Agreement to either
remove the limitations on transfer or provide for a waiver of those limitations.
