respectively for $605 per Interest up until April 14, 1997 and $592.50
per Interest after April 14, 1997 through Wellington Investment
Services, Inc. ("Wellington")(including commissions). Mr. Keierleber
has agreed to purchase Interests from Wellington Clients (as defined
in the settlement agreement described below) for $605 per Interest
through April 14, 1997 and $592.50 per Interest between April 15 and
May 5, 1997. A copy of the offer is attached as Exhibit 1 and
incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
Mr. Keierleber is the individual general partner of Decade Companies,
the general partnership that is the general partner of DCIP, and
already controls and manages DCIP.
In December 1996, DCIP and Decade Companies brought an action in
federal court against Arnold Leas, Wellington Management Corporation,
and WMC Realty, Inc. for injunctive and other relief based on asserted
securities laws violations and other claims arising from a proxy
statement and other filings by Mr. Leas and Wellington Management
Corporation. Mr. Leas, Wellington Management Corporation, and WMC
Realty, Inc. counterclaimed against DCIP and Decade Companies for
alleged securities laws violations. Mr. Leas and Wellington
Management Corporation ultimately undertook a proxy contest seeking,
among other things, to remove Decade Companies as DCIP's General
Partner. Their solicitation failed to obtain approval by a majority
of the Interests outstanding.
In order to settle all matters on behalf of DCIP and Decade Companies,
Mr. Keierleber agreed to buy all Interests from Wellington's clients
(as defined in the settlement offer attached as Exhibit 1) until May
5, 1997, provided that Wellington obtains the rights to offer the
Interests by isolated transactions that do not give rise to a tender
offer or general solicitation. A copy of the offer is attached as
Exhibit 1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The litigation between DCIP and Decade Companies and Leas, Wellington
Management Corporation and WMC Realty was dismissed on March 20, 1997.
The lawsuit was dismissed pursuant to a settlement agreement dated
March 13, 1997, between the parties. Pursuant to the settlement
agreement, Jeffrey Keierleber, an individual who is a general partner
in Decade Companies (the General Partner of DCIP) has agreed to
purchase certain Interests for prices between $592.50 and $605
(including commissions) until May 5, 1997, provided that the limited
partnership interests are acquired by isolated transactions that do
not give rise to general solicitation or a tender offer. Pursuant to
the settlement agreement, Mr. Keierleber and Mr. Leas (and their
affiliates) agreed that for a period of ten years from March 13, 1997,
neither they nor any affiliate will: (a) acquire, offer to acquire or
agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or otherwise,
any voting securities (including partnership interests) or direct or
indirect rights or options to acquire any securities of any Decade or
Wellington sponsored partnership or an affiliate of the parties, as
the case may be; (b) make, or in any way participate, directly or
indirectly, in any "solicitation" of "proxies" to vote (as such terms
are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission)
or seek to advise or influence any person or entity with respect to
the voting of any voting securities of any Decade or Wellington
sponsored partnership or an affiliate; (c) form, join or in any way
participate in a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to any
voting securities of any Decade or Wellington sponsored partnership or
an affiliate; or (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others,
to seek to control or influence the management, the general partner or
policies of any Decade or Wellington sponsored partnership or an
affiliate.
A copy of the settlement offer is filed herewith as Exhibit 1 and the
terms are incorporated by reference.
Other than as listed above, no material changes in the issuer's
assets, business or corporate structure are contemplated by
Mr. Keierleber or Decade Properties, Inc.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) and (b). Prior to purchase of Interests in March and April 1997,
Mr. Keierleber directly and indirectly held 193.04 Interests, or
approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Interests. Upon purchase of
Interests pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and the purchase by
Decade Properties, Inc., Mr. Keierleber beneficially owns, and has the
sole power to vote and dispose, 1,113.99 Interests (or approximately
8.3% of the outstanding Interests) (such total includes the March
1997, purchase by Decade Properties, Inc. of seven Interests.)
(c). Except for the purchase of Interests described above, there have
been no transactions by Mr. Keierleber or Decade Properties, Inc. with
respect to the Interests during the 60 days preceding the date of this
Schedule 13D.
(d). Decade Properties, Inc., a joint filer, holds, directly and
indirectly, seven of the outstanding Interests.
(e). Not Applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Other than the Settlement Agreement described in Item 4 above, which
was included as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D, and agreements
referred to or contained therein, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships between Mr. Keierleber
or Decade Properties, Inc. and any other person with respect to any
Securities of DCIP.
