Item 5. Other Events
As previously reported by ILM Senior Living, Inc., a Virginia
finite-life corporation (the "Company"), Andrew A. Feldman & Jeri Feldman, as
trustees for the Andrew A. & Jeri Feldman Revocable Trust dated September 18,
1990, commenced an action on May 8, 1998 on behalf of that trust and a putative
class of all other shareholders of the Company and ILM II Senior Living, Inc., a
Virginia finite-life corporation and affiliate of the Company ("ILM II"),
against the Company, ILM II and the directors of each of the Company and ILM II.
On March 9, 1999, following the announcement of the execution of the Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated February 7, 1999, among the
Company, Capital Senior Living, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("Capital"),
Capital Senior Living Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
wholly owned subsidiary of Capital ("Merger Sub"), and Capital Senior Living
Trust I, a Delaware business trust and wholly owned subsidiary of Capital (the
"Trust"), the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint seeking to enjoin the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and, in the alternative,
seeking damages in an unspecified amount. In response to the Company's motion to
dismiss the second amended complaint on June 7, 1999, which motion addressed
only the pleadings, the United States District Court, the Southern District of
New York issued an order dismissing the plaintiffs' federal securities law
claims, but denying defendants' motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims for breach
of fiduciary duty and judicial dissolution.
On June 21, 1999, the Company, ILM II and each of their directors
answered the second amended complaint and denied any and all liability to
plaintiffs or the putative class, and moved for reconsideration of the portion
of the Court's June 7, 1999 order denying their motion to dismiss. In response
to discovery requests, the Company, ILM II and other defendants produced
documents to the plaintiffs and the depositions of current and former
directors as well as others were taken. As of July 1, 1999, all discovery was
completed in this action.
On July 2, 1999, the parties to this action reached an agreement-in-
principle to settle the action. On August 11, 1999, the parties entered into a
Stipulation of Settlement (the "Stipulation") and on August 13, 1999, the Court
"so ordered" the Stipulation and provided for notice of the settlement to the
putative settlement class, which notice was mailed on August 16, 1999. The Court
scheduled a hearing for September 30, 1999 to determine whether the proposed
settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, whether a final judgment should be
entered dismissing the action with prejudice to the plaintiffs and all members
of the putative settlement class, and whether an application to be made by
plaintiffs' counsel and the putative settlement class should be approved.
There can be no assurance that the Court will approve the Stipulation.
In the event that the Court does not approve the Stipulation, the Company
intends to continue to contest the action vigorously.
Pursuant to the Stipulation, among other matters, Capital has agreed
to increase the aggregate amount and modify the form of consideration to be
received by shareholders in the Merger Agreement by $1,128,000 to

$97,018,000 and provide each shareholder with the right to elect to receive
payment of the merger consideration in the form of all cash, or a combination of
cash and Capital Trust convertible preferred securities, (which securities will
ultimately be convertible into shares of Capital's common stock); provided,
that the preferred securities elections may not, in the aggregate, exceed 35% of
the total merger consideration.
To facilitate consummation of the Merger, Capital has also agreed to
amend the Merger Agreement to extend the previously scheduled October 31, 1999
outside termination date of the Merger to September 30, 2000. The Company also
generally has agreed to apprise class counsel of certain material developments
relating to extraordinary transactions involving the Company.
Pursuant to the Stipulation, if the Company and ILM II consummate an
extraordinary transaction with Capital, including, but not limited to, a
transaction of the type contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Capital has agreed
to pay the class action plaintiffs' attorneys' fees awarded by the Court an
amount not to exceed $1,500,000, as well as reimbursement of their out of pocket
expenses. If the Company and ILM II consummate extraordinary transactions with a
third party purchaser other than Capital, or the Company's and ILM II's Boards
of Directors ultimately approve extraordinary transactions with a third party
purchaser other than Capital, the Company and ILM II will, under the
Stipulation, be required to pay attorneys' fees awarded by the Court an
amount not to exceed $1,500,000, plus reimbursement of class counsel's out of
pocket expenses.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text
of the Stipulation filed as Exhibit 99. hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
