("Hallwood Realty"), a Delaware limited partnership, relating to an offer by High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, to purchase any and all of the outstanding limited partner units ("Units") in Hallwood Realty and the associated rights to purchase additional Units under the Unit Purchase Rights Agreement, dated as of November 30, 1990, as amended, between Hallwood Realty and EquiServe Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent, at a purchase price of $100.00 per Unit, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 1, 2003, as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9. Item 4 is amended by amending and restating in its entirety the sixth paragraph of subsection (b)(ii) as follows: In light of the above factors, all of which the board believes support its recommendation, the board determined that the offer is inadequate. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT HALLWOOD'S UNITHOLDERS REJECT THE OFFER AND NOT TENDER THEIR UNITS IN THE OFFER. Item 4 is further amended by adding a new eighth paragraph to subsection (b)(ii) as follows: Additionally, the board notes that, as discussed above, the fact that the bidders had reserved the unconditional right to withdraw the offer at any time before the expiration date of the offer, for any reason, was one of the factors the board considered. The bidders subsequently amended the offer to remove such reservation. The members of the board have determined that the bidders' amendment of the offer does not change their recommendation. 2 SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct.
