Item 4. Ownership.
On June 20, 1996, Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder, Inc. (The
"Reporting Person"), together with Renaissance Fund LDC, Todd
Investments Limited, Stockton Partners, L.P., Charles Bronfman Family
Trust, The Kolber Trust, S. Daniel Abraham, BEA Associates,
Continental Casualty Company, Goldman, Sachs & Co., and PEC Israel Economic
Corporation (collectively, the "Other Investors"), acquired from the
Issuer in a private placement certain securities that are convertible
into, or exercisable for, the Issuer's common stock, par value $.01 per
share ("Common Stock"). Accordingly, the Reporting Person and the
Other Investors may be deemed to have acted in concert for the purpose
of acquiring such securities and, therefore, to constitute a "group"
for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act. Pursuant to Rule 13d-
1(f)(2) under the Act the Other Investors have elected to file a
Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G on an individual basis. Neither the fact
of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an
admission by the Reporting Person that a group exists or that the
Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of Common Stock beneficially
owned by any of the Other Investors.
The Reporting Person has no understanding or agreement with any
of the Other Investors or with any other person to act in concert for
the purposes of holding, voting, or disposing of the Common Stock or
any equity securities of the Issuer. Accordingly this statement
simultaneously is being amended to reflect the fact that, as of the
date hereof, the Reporting Person is not a member of a "group" for
purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act with respect to the Common
Stock.
The percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person has been calculated based on the Issuer's
representation that, as of June 14, 1996, there were 57,933,433 shares
of Common Stock outstanding and, in addition thereto, assumes that all
securities beneficially owned by all members of the group have been
converted or exercised into Common Stock.
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned:
575,047
(b) Percent of Class: 1.0%
(c) Number of Shares to Which Such Person Has:
(i) Sole voting power - 575,047
(ii) Shared voting power - 0
(iii) Sole dispositive power - 575,047
(iv) Shared dispositive power - 0
