Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement constitutes Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") to
that certain Schedule 13D initially filed by the Reporting Persons on or about
May 4, 1995 and as amended by Amendment No. 1 on or about May 14, 1998
(collectively, the "Statement") and relates to shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par
value ("Common Stock"), of Whittaker Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 1955 N.
Surveyor Avenue, Simi Valley, CA 93063. All material previously reported in the
Statement remains the same, except as reported in this Amendment No. 2.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Add to the material reported in Amendment No. 1:
On or about June 17, 1998, HE assigned its entire interest in the
Note (including rights of conversion of principal and the Prospective Warrants)
for $15,659,166.67 to Credit Research & Trading LLC, One Fawcett Place,
Greenwich, Connecticut 06830 ("CRT"). The Note was transferred to CRT under the
safe harbor provisions of Rule 144 free of any registration requirements as the
Note had been held more than two (2) years by HE. In acquiring the Note, CRT
acted as a riskless principal in the transaction and has since split the Note
into a series of notes, each having a denomination of $1 Million, and
transferred these to subsequent investors.
Neither CRT nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons,
any subsequent purchasers of portions of the Note are affiliated with or
otherwise related to the Reporting Persons.
Further, Issuer filed a registration statement under the
securities laws covering the Shares which Issuer informed the Reporting Persons
became effective. As a result, Reporting Persons entered into open market
transactions to sell their entire interest in the 107,840 Shares of Issuer's
Common Stock all at a price of $13.05 per share (before deductions for broker's
commissions or other expenses of selling the Shares).
As a result of such sales, the Reporting Persons no longer have
any interest in Issuer's Common Stock and this Amendment No. 2 will be the final
installment to the Statement and no further reports will be made by Reporting
Persons concerning these particular transactions.
