ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Substantially all of the shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned
by the Reporting Persons, as described herein, were acquired by them in August
1988 in a merger of a predecessor entity with and into the Company. The
remainder of the shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by
such Reporting Persons, as described herein, were acquired by them by means of
open market purchases by them using their personal funds or by means of
acquisitions through the Company's 401(k) Plan. In the case of Reporting Persons
which are trusts, the shares of Common Stock held in such trusts were acquired
by means of a transfer from each of the settlors of the respective trusts.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. ("Hovnanian") and the Company entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 28, 2000 (the "Merger
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge (the
"Merger") with and into WHI Holding Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Hovnanian, ("WHI Holding"), with WHI Holding as the
surviving corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each
issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock not owned or held by
Hovnanian or the Company (which will be canceled) will be converted into the
right to receive, at the election of the holder of Company Common Stock, subject
to the limitations and prorations stated in the Merger Agreement, 1.39 shares of
Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Hovnanian ("Hovnanian Common
Stock") or $10.08 in cash or a combination of Hovnanian Common Stock and cash.
In order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and in consideration thereof, Hovnanian
entered into Voting Agreements (the "Voting Agreements"), dated as of August 28,
2000, with certain stockholders of the Company named therein (collectively, the
"Stockholders"), whereby the Stockholders agreed to vote all of the shares of
the Company Common Stock owned beneficially or held of record by them in favor
of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and any other
action required in furtherance thereof. Hovnanian did not pay additional
consideration to any Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery
of the Voting Agreements.
References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Voting
Agreements as set forth above in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements
incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1 and Exhibits 2 and 3, respectively, to
this Schedule 13D, and are incorporated in this Item 4 in their entirety where
such references and descriptions appear.
Upon consummation of the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement
(a) the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of WHI Holding will be the
Certificate of Incorporation and By- laws of the surviving corporation of the
Merger, (b) the directors of WHI Holding shall be the directors of
Page 23 of 34
<PAGE>
the surviving corporation of the Merger and (c) the officers of the Company
shall be the officers of the surviving corporation of the Merger. It is also
expected that the shares of Company Common Stock will become eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the
adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company's stockholders, the expiration
of the applicable waiting period under the Hart- Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the receipt of other required regulatory
approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of certain other conditions as more
fully described in the Merger Agreement. The Merger is also subject to approval
by Hovnanian's stockholders of the issuance of the shares of Hovnanian Common
Stock pursuant to the Merger, but holders of shares of Hovnanian common stock in
excess of the required majority in voting power of such common stock have
entered into a voting agreement with the Company similar to the Voting
Agreements in which such Hovnanian stockholders have agreed to vote their shares
in favor of such issuance. There can be no assurance that the required approvals
will be obtained in a timely fashion, if at all, or, in the case of regulatory
approvals, if obtained, will not contain certain conditions.
Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreements, the Stockholders have
agreed, among other things, (i) to vote all of the shares of Company Common
Stock owned beneficially or held of record by them in favor of the approval and
adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and any other action required in
furtherance thereof and (ii) not to sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or
otherwise dispose of such shares. The Voting Agreements terminate upon the
earlier to occur of (a) the completion of the Merger, (b) 90 days after the
termination of the Merger Agreement in respect of which Hovnanian is entitled to
payment by Washington Homes of fees and expenses as described in the Merger
Agreement, (c) 15 days after the termination of the Merger Agreement for any
other reason or (d) written notice of termination by Hovnanian to the
Stockholders. The name of each Stockholder and the number of outstanding shares
of Company Common Stock held by each Stockholder and subject to the Voting
Agreements are set forth on the signature pages thereto and are incorporated
herein by reference.
Certain of the Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreement
incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and identified as
"Form A" of the Voting Agreements. The remaining Stockholders entered into the
Voting Agreement incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and
identified as "Form B" of the Voting Agreements. The principal difference
between the two forms of Voting Agreements relates to an exception under certain
circumstances to the voting obligations of the Stockholders subject to Form B of
the Voting Agreements and to the restrictions on transfer of the shares subject
to such Voting Agreement. Stockholders holding 1,787,715 shares of Company
Common Stock, or approximately 22.9% of the outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock, are subject to Form A of the Voting Agreements and Stockholders holding
2,132,539 shares of Company Common Stock, or approximately 27.4% of the
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, are subject to Form B of the Voting
Agreements.
Page 24 of 34
<PAGE>
Hovnanian does not have any right to dispose of (or direct the
disposition of) any shares of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Voting
Agreements. Accordingly, Hovnanian expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of
all such shares.
References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Voting
Agreements as set forth above in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements
incorporated by reference as Exhibit 1 and Exhibits 2 and 3, respectively, to
this Schedule 13D, and are incorporated in this Item 4 in their entirety where
such references and descriptions appear.
