INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 14 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule
13E-3 (this "Schedule 13E-3") is being filed by The Westwood Group, Inc.,
Charles F. Sarkis, Richard P. Dalton and Joseph M. Cassin, pursuant to Section
13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13e-3
thereunder. This Amendment No. 14 amends and supplements the Schedule 13E-3
Transaction Statement filed with the SEC on October 25, 2002, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed with the SEC

on February 12, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13E-3
Transaction Statement filed with the SEC on February 13, 2003, as amended by
Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed with the SEC
on August 21, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13E-3
Transaction Statement filed with the SEC on October 3, 2003, as amended by
Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed with the SEC
on October 31, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13E-3
Transaction Statement filed with the SEC on December 5, 2003, as amended by
Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13E-3 filed with the SEC on December 19, 2003,
as amended by Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13E-3 filed with the SEC on May
28, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction
Statement filed with the SEC on August 5, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 12
to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement filed with the SEC on August 10,
2004, and as amended by Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction
Statement filed with the SEC on September 9, 2004. On February 13, 2003, the
Westwood Group filed a Definitive Proxy Statement and the accompanying Amendment
No. 4 to the Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement with the SEC in order to
effectuate a 1,500 for 1 reverse stock split of its capital stock. A meeting of
the stockholders of the Westwood Group to approve the proposed reverse stock
split was scheduled for March 19, 2003. On March 18, 2003, which was one day
prior to the scheduled meeting to approve the proposed reverse stock split, the
Westwood Group received an Administrative Complaint and Ex Parte Motion for a
Temporary Order to Cease and Desist from the Securities Division of the Office
of the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The March 19, 2003
stockholders' meeting to approve the proposed going private transaction was
adjourned in order to permit the Westwood Group to address this matter, and the
stockholders' vote was never taken.
On June 16, 2003, the Westwood Group executed an Offer of Settlement and a
Consent Order was filed in connection with the Administrative Complaint.
Amendment No. 14 is being filed for the sole purpose of reporting that on
September 20, 2004, the shareholders of the Westwood Group approved and adopted
a Certificate of Amendment to the Westwood Group's Certificate of Incorporation,
pursuant to which each share of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
authorized immediately prior to the effectiveness of the proposed amendment will
be reclassified into one-five hundredth of one fully paid and non-assessable
share of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, so that every 500 shares of
Common Stock issued immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment will
be combined together to form one full share of Common Stock, par value $.01. At
the effective time of the proposed amendment, each share of Class B Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share, authorized immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the amendment will be reclassified into one-five hundredth of
one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01
per share, so that every 500 shares of Class B Common Stock authorized
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment will be combined
together to form one full share of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01. The
Westwood Group will make a cash payment of $4.00 per share to record holders of
less than 500 shares of the Common Stock or Class B Common Stock immediately
prior to the effectiveness of the amendment. Certificates for fractional shares
of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be issued following the reverse
stock split to holders of greater than 500 shares of either Common Stock or
Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendment.
The proposed reverse stock split became effective upon the filing of the
Certificate of Amendment to the Westwood Group's Certificate of Incorporation on
September 20, 2004. In addition, on September 20, 2004, the Westwood Group filed
a Form 15 with the SEC in order to terminate the registration of its Common
Stock with the SEC.
In addition to receiving the cash payment of $4.00 per share, each record
holder being redeemed in connection with the proposed reverse stock split will
be entitled to receive an additional cash payment if, within one calendar year
from the date of this meeting, the Massachusetts state legislature enacts
legislation that expands legalized gaming in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and such legislation authorizes the Westwood Group to install slot machines at
its Wonderland racetrack facility. If such legislation is enacted, the Board of
Directors of the Westwood Group, in consultation with an independent financial
advisor, will determine the valuation of the Westwood Group in light of such
legislation, and based upon such valuation, will pay each redeemed record holder
any increase in value
3
above the $4.00 per share cash payment received in connection with the reverse
stock split, which will be payable at such time and in such manner as determined
by the Board of Directors.
In connection with the proposed reverse stock split, the Board of Directors
engaged Schroeder & Co., an independent, third-party private investment bank, to
render a fairness opinion from a financial point of view of the consideration to
be paid to the holders of the Westwood Group's Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock and following due deliberation, the Board of Directors determined to
proceed with a new reverse stock split going-private transaction on different
terms which are consistent with the terms of the settlement with the Securities
Division.
On July 17, 2003, Joseph M. Cassin, a senior partner at the law firm
Cassin, Cassin & Joseph, LLP, was appointed to the Westwood Group's Board of
Directors and will now be a filing person with respect to this Schedule 13E-3.
On July 21, 2003, Paul M. DiMare, an original filing person with the respect to
this Schedule 13E-3, resigned from the Board of Directors, and, consequently, is
no longer a filing person.
