alternative courses of action. Such actions may include the
acquisition of additional shares of Trenwick Common Stock through
open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, a
public offering, or otherwise. Except as set forth above, the
Reporting Persons share no plan or proposals which relate to or
would result in any of the transactions described in
subparagraphs (a) through (j) of the General Instructions of
Information to be included in Statement Filed Pursuant to Item 4
of Schedule 13-D.
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
(a) The number and percentage of shares of Trenwick Common
Stock controlled by each Reporting Person is set forth in
Schedule B.
As a result of the Stockholders Agreement, the parties
signing such agreement may be deemed to constitute a "group"
within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and thus
each member of such group would be deemed to beneficially own the
shares of Trenwick Common Stock held by all group members. This
group may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,181,002
shares of Trenwick Common Stock or 6.4 % of the Trenwick Common
Stock outstanding. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act,
each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the
shares of Trenwick Common Stock covered by this Statement other
than those shares controlled by such Reporting Person as listed
on Schedule B hereto under the heading "Total Number of Shares of
Trenwick Common Stock."
(b) Schedule B sets forth the number of shares of Trenwick
Common Stock which each Reporting Person has sole or shared power
to dispose of, including shares held as trustee or executor.
Schedule C sets forth the trustees and executors with whom
dispositive power is shared if applicable with respect to trust
or estate shares. Because of the Stockholders Agreement, no
Reporting Person is considered to have sole power to vote shares
of Trenwick Common Stock, but each may be deemed to share power
to vote 1,181,002 shares of Trenwick Common Stock.
CCL, a North Carolina non-profit corporation, owns 196,663
shares of Trenwick Common Stock. Stuart S. Richardson, and
Peter L. Richardson are CCL members and are also reporting
persons in their individual capacity. These individuals'
beneficial ownership of shares of Trenwick Common Stock is set
forth in Schedule B to this Statement. General Instruction C of
Schedule 13-D requires that Trenwick share information be given
with respect to other CCL members ( W. Winburne King, III, L.
Richardson Preyer, Jr., Haynes Griffin, Eric R. Calhoun,
Ingar Skaag, Tom Hearn, Linda Lorimer, and John W. Red, Jr.)
because of their corporate relationship with CCL, such members
have no interest in Trenwick Common Stock other than the
interest held by CCL. Therefore the CCL members, excluding
Stuart Smith Richardson and Peter L. Richardson have an interest
only in the 196,663 shares of Trenwick Common Stock held by CCL.
(c) There have been no transactions effected in the shares
of Trenwick Common Stock by any Reporting Person since August 22,
1999.
(d) Because certain Reporting Persons "beneficially own"
shares of Trenwick Common Stock by virtue of trustee or executor
status in the Trusts or Estate, other individuals, specifically
the trust beneficiaries or prospective estate beneficiaries, may
have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of
Trenwick Common Stock. To the best knowledge of each Reporting
Person, no single trust beneficiary or prospective estate
beneficiary has the right or power with respect to more than 5%
of the Trenwick Common Stock.
(e) Inapplicable.
Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR
RELATIONSHIP WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE
ISSUER.
In connection with the merger of Piedmont Management, Inc.,
and Chartwell, Chartwell entered into a Stockholders Agreement,
dated as of December 13, 1995, with the Reporting Persons and
certain Chartwell stockholders, specifically Virginia Retirement
Systems, Brinson Trust Company, as trustee of the Institutional
Venture Capital Fund II, Michigan Mutual Insurance Company, FIMA
Finance Management Inc., and Wand/Chartwell Investments L.P.
Among other things, the Stockholders Agreement entitles the
Reporting Persons to designate up to four persons for election to
Chartwell's Board of Directors. The Stockholders Agreement
further obligates Chartwell's nominating committee to recommend
to Chartwell's Board of Directors those persons designated by the
Reporting Persons for election to Chartwell's Board of Directors
be included in the slate of nominees recommended by such Board of
Directors to Chartwell's shareholders for election. The
Stockholders Agreement also obligates each signing
stockholder to vote all Chartwell Common Stock that such
stockholder beneficially owns to elect or appoint all designees
of the Reporting Persons included in Chartwell's slate for
directors.
In a Letter Agreement dated as of December 13, 1995 (the
"Letter Agreement"), such Letter Agreement was reported as
Exhibit 3 in the 1995 Filing, and which is incorporated herein
by reference, among the Reporting Persons, Mr. Stuart Smith
Richardson was appointed to exercise the right of the Reporting
Persons to designate the relevant Chartwell directors under the
Stockholders Agreement.
In connection with the merger between Piedmont Management,
Inc., and Chartwell, the Reporting Persons entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 13, 1995 (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") with Chartwell and certain
substantial Chartwell stockholders, such Registration Rights
Agreement was reported as Exhibit 6 in the 1995 Filing,
and which is incorporated herein by reference. Pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, upon the request of stockholders
holding at least 400,000 shares of Chartwell Common Stock or
any security convertible into 400,000 shares of Chartwell Common
Stock, Chartwell must, subject to certain limited exceptions, use
its best efforts to register such shares under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. Upon the Merger, the Stockholders Agreement
will continue in effect and remain legally binding upon the
Reporting Persons and Trenwick will be legally bound as the
successor in interest to Chartwell's interest under the
Stockholders Agreement.
The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing
Agreement, dated as of October 29, 1999 (the "Joint Filing
Agreement"), whereby each Reporting Person agreed to a joint
filing of this Statement and subsequent amendments thereto.
The descriptions contained herein of the Stockholders
Agreement, the Letter Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, and the Joint Filing Agreement are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such agreements, copies of which were
previously filed as exhibits to the 1995 Filing and are
incorporated herein by reference.
Certain Reporting Persons may also be related to members of
the "Richardson Family," which members hold additional shares of
Trenwick Common Stock. The "Richardson Family" refers to
descendants of Lunsford Richardson, Sr., their spouses, trusts, a
corporation in which they have interests, and charitable
organizations established by such descendants. As of October
27, 1999, after giving effect to the Merger, such descendants and
spouses (numbering approximately 190 persons), trusts, a
corporation in which they have interests, and charitable
organizations established by them owned approximately 69,691
shares of Trenwick Common Stock, excluding the shares disclosed
by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13-D. These
individuals and institutions have differing interests and may or
may not vote their shares of Trenwick Common Stock in the same
manner.
Except for the agreements and the relationships described
above, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are
no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
(legal or otherwise) between the persons enumerated in Item 2,
and any other person, with respect to any securities of Trenwick,
including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the
securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of
profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
Item 7. MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
Exhibit A Joint Filing Agreement
The Stockholders Agreement, the Letter Agreement, and
Registration Rights Agreement are incorporated by reference to
the respective exhibits of the 1995 filing as identified herein,
rather than being set forth as exhibits.
The Merger Agreement between Chartwell and Trenwick is
incorporated by reference to Appendix A of the Trenwick Form S-4
filing dated September 4, 1999, rather than being set forth as an
exhibit.
After reasonable inquiry, and to the best knowledge and
belief of, the undersigned certifies that the information set
forth in this statement is true complete and accurate.
