ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
In November 1986, Teledyne, Inc. spun off to its shareholders all of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer on the basis of one share of the Issuer
for each share of Teledyne. I received 1,554,288 of the shares reported
herein pursuant to that distribution. Additionally, I received 3,108,576
additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as my pro-rata portion of the
3-for-1 stock split distributed to all Argonaut shareholders in June 1991.
The remaining 192 shares reported herein, I received as a distribution from a
family member's estate.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
I received my pro rata portion of the Issuer's shares as a distribution on my
Teledyne shares which I acquired in 1960 and as a distribution of a 3-for-1
stock split. (See Item 3 above.) Although I personally have no plans or
proposals reportable pursuant to Item 4(a) through (j), it should be noted
that I am a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors, and in that capacity,
could have occasion to consider such plans or proposals in the future.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUERS
I own 4,663,056 (18.7%) of the Issuer's Common Stock as to which I have sole
voting and dispositive powers. Other than receiving the distributions
described above, I have had no transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, AGREEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
See response to Item 4.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
