AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") is being
filed on behalf of Blavin & Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("BCI"),
and Mr. Paul W. Blavin, the principal of BCI, as an amendment to the
initial statement on Schedule 13D, relating to shares of Class A Common
Stock of Riscorp, Inc. (the "Issuer"), as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on March 27, 1998 and amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 9, 1998,
Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on July 29, 1998
and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 1,
1999 (as amended, the "Amended Schedule 13D").
This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Class A
Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by BCI for the account of (i) PWB
Value Partners, L.P. ("PWB"), of which BCI is the general partner, and (ii)
four institutional clients for which BCI acts as investment advisor
(collectively, the "Clients"). The Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented as follows:
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS
Item 3 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read as follows:
As of April 29, 1999, BCI had invested (i) $2,176,382 in shares of
Class A Common Stock through PWB and (ii) $1,131,975, $469,965, $140,099
and $77,090 in shares of Class A Common through each of the Clients, all as
described in Item 5 below. The above amounts include any brokerage or
commission charges incurred in the investments. The source of these funds
was the working capital of each of PWB and the Clients, as the case may be.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 5 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by amending and
restating Items 5(a) and (c) as follows:
(a) As of April 29, 1999, BCI and Mr. Blavin are beneficial owners of
1,982,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer or 13.90% of the
shares outstanding. The 1,982,000 shares described above are beneficially
owned by BCI and Mr. Blavin for the account of PWB and each of the Clients,
as the case may be.
The number of shares beneficially owned by BCI and Mr. Blavin and the
percentage of outstanding shares represented thereby have been computed in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act. The percentage of beneficial
ownership of BCI and Mr. Blavin on April 29, 1999 is based on 14,258,671
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of April 16, 1999 as reported
in the Issuer's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Commission on
April 28, 1999.
(c) The transactions in the Issuer's securities by BCI since the most
recent filing on Schedule 13D are listed as Annex A attached hereto and
made a part hereof.
