ITEM 1 SECURITY AND ISSUER
This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") relates to the Common Stock,
par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Huttig Building Products,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office of
the Issuer is located at 14500 South Outer Forty Road, Suite 400, Chesterfield,
MO 63017.
ITEM 2 IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
The Statement is being filed by RMC Group p.l.c. ("RMC"), a public limited
company organized under the laws of England and Wales with registered number
249776. RMC is in the business of producing ready mixed concrete and, in
addition, has major positions in the production of aggregates, concrete
products and cement. The principal office of RMC is located at RMC House,
Coldharbour Lane, Thorpe, Egham, Surrey TW20 8TD, United Kingdom.
The information required for item 2(a)-(c) and (f) for the executive officers
and directors of RMC is set forth in Exhibit A to this Statement.
During the last five years, neither RMC, nor, to the best of its knowledge, any
person listed on Exhibit A hereto (i) has been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanours) or (ii) has
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to
a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, U.S. federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3 SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
RMC did not use any funds or pay any consideration to acquire an interest in
the Common Stock.
ITEM 4 PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
RMC acquired its beneficial interest in the Common Stock of the Issuer through
the shareholding that RMC has in The Rugby Group PLC, a public limited company
organized under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 206971
("Rugby").
RMC has been advised by Rugby that pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement,
dated as of October 19, 1999, among Rugby, Crane Co., a Delaware corporation
("Crane"), and the Issuer, the Issuer was spun off to Crane's stockholders as a
new public company that is now known as "Huttig Building Products, Inc." After
the spin-off, Rugby contributed to the Issuer all of the shares of Rugby USA,
Inc., a Georgia corporation and Rugby's wholly-owned subsidiary ("Rugby USA"),
in exchange for approximately 32% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. In
connection with this exchange, the Issuer made a cash payment to Rugby of $32
million in respect of indebtedness owed by Rugby USA to Rugby.
Except as set forth below, RMC does not have any plans or proposals which
relate or would result in any of the actions or transaction specified in
clauses (a) through (j) of item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) As of the date hereof, RMC indirectly beneficially owns 6,546,424 shares of
the Common Stock or 32% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common
Stock of the Issuer.
The persons named in Exhibit A to this Statement, may be deemed to beneficially
own the Common Stock, but such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to
constitute an admission that any of the persons in Exhibit A to this Statement
is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock owned by any other
persons named in Item 2 above or Exhibit A to this Statement for the purposes
of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any
other purpose .
(b) RMC shares with Rugby the power to vote or to direct the vote and the power
to dispose or to direct the disposition of 6,546,424 shares of the Common
Stock.
As of the date hereof, Rugby beneficially owns 6,546,424 shares of the Common
Stock or 32% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the
Issuer, as more fully described in the Schedule 13D filed by Rugby with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 1999.
On November 8, 1999, the directors of Rugby unanimously recommended to Rugby
shareholders to accept a cash offer to be made by RMC for all of the issued and
to be issued share capital of Rugby (the "RMC Offer"). On November 17, 1999 the
RMC Offer was made to the shareholders of Rugby.
As of the date hereof, RMC owns approximately 29.9% of the outstanding shares
of Rugby. In addition, RMC has received valid acceptances in respect of the RMC
Offer for approximately an additional 57% of the outstanding shares of Rugby.
RMC will not acquire shares of Rugby in respect of such valid acceptances
unless the RMC Offer is declared wholly unconditional in accordance with the
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers in the United Kingdom. Of the shares of
Rugby in respect of which RMC has received valid acceptances, approximately
7.37% is owned by Rugby shareholders who have undertaken to RMC to accept the
RMC Offer. However, because certain conditions to the RMC Offer are
outstanding, including pending regulatory approvals in the United States and
Poland, RMC does not expect to be able to complete its acquisition of Rugby
until early 2000.
Rugby is a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales
with registered number 206971. The business address of Rugby is Crown House,
Rugby, CV21 2DT, United Kingdom. The principal business of Rugby is the cement
and lime business.
Rugby has not during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). Rugby has
not during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, U.S. federal or sate securities laws or finding any violation with respect
to such laws.
The information required by items 2(a)-(c) and (f) as required under Item 5 for
persons referenced in paragraph (a) of Item 5 is set forth in Exhibit B to this
Statement.
