This constitutes Amendment No. 12 ("Amendment No. 12") to Schedule 13D
filed by the undersigned on March 18, 1995 (the "Schedule 13D"). Except as
specifically amended by this Amendment No. 12, the Schedule 13D, as amended,
remains in full force and effect. Defined terms herein shall have the meaning
specified in the Schedule 13D, except as otherwise provided herein.
Item 2 is amended to add the following paragraphs:
Item 2. Identity & Background.
As of January 1, 1996, Steel Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Partners LLC") became the general partner of Steel.
The principal business address of Partners LLC is 750 Lexington Avenue, 27th
Floor, New York, New York 10022. The executive officers and Managing Members of
Partners LLC are as follows: Warren Lichtenstein is Chairman of the Board,
Secretary and a Managing Member; and Lawrence Butler is President, Treasurer and
a Managing Member.
During the past five years, Partners LLC has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which
proceeding Partners LLC was or is not subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.
Item 4 is amended to add the following paragraph:
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On January 23, 1996, the Steel Partners Committee filed
definitive Proxy Materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission and
intends to promptly commence its solicitation of proxies from Stockholders of
the Issuer. In connection with such solicitation, a record date of January 17,
1996 has been established by the Issuer.
On January 10, 1996, the Issuer commenced litigation in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of California against
Steel and certain of its affiliates (the "Steel Defendants") alleging that the
Steel Defendants violated certain federal securities laws and state tort laws in
connection with their acquisition of Common Stock and their proxy solicitation.
The Issuer's complaint alleges, among other matters, that the Steel Defendants
violated Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by,
among other things, filing false and misleading Schedules 13D that failed to
disclose the Steel Defendants' true ownership of Common Stock and their true
intent to attempt to take control of the Issuer. The complaint seeks, among
other things, to have the Court preliminarily and permanently enjoin the Steel
Defendants' proxy
<PAGE>
solicitation and their acquisition and voting of shares of Common Stock, and
damages for the Steel Defendants' tortious interference with the Issuer's
economic relations. The Issuer also sought an order granting expedited
discovery. On January 18, 1996, the court denied the Issuer's application for
expedited discovery and granted the Steel Defendants' application for a stay of
discovery pending a determination of the Steel Defendants' motion to dismiss.
The court has set a hearing date of February 20, 1996 on the Steel Defendants'
motion to dismiss. The Steel Defendants intend to vigorously defend themselves
against the claims brought by the Issuer.
