This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Report on Amendment
No. 2, filed on January 4, 2000 ("Amendment No. 2"), to Schedule 13D, originally
filed on March 12, 1998, with respect to the shares of common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Shares"), of the Thermadyne Holdings Corporation (the
"Company"). Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not
defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Amendment No. 2.
All references in Amendment No. 2 to Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette,
Inc. or to the defined term "DLJ", to the extent not otherwise amended by this
Amendment No. 3, are hereby amended to refer instead to Credit Suisse First
Boston (USA), Inc. and to the defined term "CSFB-USA", respectively.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
The response set forth in Item 2 of Amendment No. 2 is hereby amended
as follows:
(i) by deleting the first paragraph and replacing it with the
following:
"This Amendment No. 3 is being filed by Credit Suisse First Boston
(the "Bank"), a Swiss bank, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, to the
extent that they constitute part of the Credit Suisse First Boston business unit
(the "CSFB business unit" or the "Reporting Person"). The CSFB business unit is
engaged in the corporate and investment banking, trading (equity, fixed income
and foreign exchange), private equity investment and derivatives businesses on a
worldwide basis. The address of the Bank's principle business and office is
Uetlibergstrasse 231, P.O. Box 900, CH-8070 Zurich, Switzerland. The Bank and
its subsidiaries engage in other separately managed activities, most of which
constitute the independently operated Credit Suisse Asset Management business
unit; the Credit Suisse Asset Management business unit provides asset management
and investment advisory services to institutional investors worldwide.
The Bank owns directly a majority of the voting stock, and all of the
non-voting stock, of Credit Suisse First Boston, Inc. ("CSFBI"), a Delaware
corporation. The ultimate parent company of the Bank and CSFBI, and the direct
owner of the remainder of the voting stock of CSFBI, is Credit Suisse Group
("CSG"), a corporation formed under the laws of Switzerland.
As of November 3, 2000, CSFBI acquired all of the voting stock of
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which was renamed
Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc. ("CSFB-USA"), and the following entities
became indirect subsidiaries of CSFBI: (1) DLJ Merchant Banking Partners II,
L.P., a Delaware corporation ("Partners II"); (2) DLJ Merchant Banking Partners
II-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Partners II-A"); (3) DLJ Millennium
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Millennium"); (4) DLJ
Millennium Partners-A, L.P. ("Millennium-A"); (5) DLJ Offshore Partners II,
C.V., a Netherlands Antilles limited partnership ("Offshore II"); (6) DLJ EAB
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("DLJ EAB"); (7) DLJ Merchant
Banking II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MBII LLC"); (8) DLJ
Merchant Banking II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MBII Inc."); (9) DLJ
Diversified Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Diversified"); (10)
DLJ Diversified Partners-A, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Diversified-A"); (11) DLJ Diversified Associates, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Diversified Associates"); (12) DLJ Diversified Partners, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Diversified Partners"); (13) DLJ First ESC L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("ESC"); (14) DLJ ESC II L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("ESC II"), (15) DLJ LBO Plans Management Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("LBO"); (16) DLJ MB Funding II, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Funding II"); (17) DLJ Capital Investors, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("DLJCI"); (18) UK Investment Plan 1997 Partners, a Delaware general partnership
("1997 Partners") and (19) UK Investment Plan 1997, Inc. ("Plan 1997" (together
with the entities listed in paragraphs (1) through (18) above, the "DLJ
Entities"))."
(ii) by deleting the eighteenth through the twenty-second paragraphs
and replacing them with the following:
"The principal business of CSG is acting as a holding company for a
global financial services group with five distinct specialized business units
that are independently operated. In addition to the two business units referred
to above, CSG and its subsidiaries (other than the Bank and its subsidiaries)
are comprised of (a) the Credit Suisse Private Banking business unit that
engages in global private banking business, (b) the Credit Suisse business unit
that engages in the Swiss domestic banking business and (c) the Winterthur
business unit that engages in the global insurance business. The address of
CSG's principal business and office is Paradeplatz 8, Postfach 1, CH-8070,
Zurich, Switzerland.
CSG, for purposes of certain federal securities laws, may be deemed
ultimately to control the Bank and the CSFB business unit. CSG, its executive
officers and directors, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including all
of the business units except the CSFB business unit) may beneficially own
Shares, and such Shares are not reported in this Amendment No. 3. Due to the
separate management and independent operation of its business units, CSG
disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by its direct and
indirect subsidiaries, including the CSFB business unit. The CSFB business unit
disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by CSG and any of
CSG's and the Bank's other business units.
The address of the principal business and office of CSFBI is 11
Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010."
(iii) by deleting the second sentence of the twenty-third paragraph
and the twenty-fourth through twenty-sixth paragraphs and replacing them with
the following:
"The name, business address, citizenship, present principal occupation
or employment and the name and business address of any corporation or
organization in which each such employment is conducted, of each executive
officer or director of the Reporting Person, CSFBI, CSFB-USA, and those DLJ
Entities that are corporations are set forth on Schedules A through I attached
hereto, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
During the past five (5) years none of the Reporting Person, CSFBI,
CSFB-USA, the DLJ Entities nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person,
any of the other persons listed on Schedules A through I attached hereto, has
been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to United States
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws."
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The response set forth in (a) and (b) of Item 5 of Amendment No. 2 is
hereby amended as follows:
(i) by adding, at the beginning of the first paragraph of such
response, the words "The information set forth in this paragraph and Exhibit 5
