* This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment No. 1") amends and supplements
the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on September 1, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D") by TGI Fund III, LLC, a Virginia
limited liability company ("TGI"), Tredegar Investments, Inc., a Virginia
corporation and the sole manager of TGI ("Tredegar Investments"), and Tredegar
Corporation, a Virginia corporation and the holder of 100% of the capital stock
of Tredegar Investments ("Tredegar" and together with TGI and Tredegar
Investments, the "Registrants"), with respect to the Common Stock, $0.001 par
value per share, of Superconductor Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Issuer").
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D only with respect to those
items listed below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D.
The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to report that as of July 31,
2000 the Registrants beneficially own less than 5% of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Issuer.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Registrants amend Item 4 of the Schedule 13D by deleting Item 4 in
its entirety and replacing it with the following:
The Registrants own less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the
Issuer.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The Registrants amend Item 5 of the Schedule 13D by deleting paragraphs
(a), (c) and (e) in their entirety and replacing them with the following:
(a) As of July 31, 2000, the Registrants beneficially own 880,000
shares of Common Stock, representing 4.9% of the approximately 17,613,820 shares
of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2000.
(c) On June 23, 1999 TGI entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
the Issuer pursuant to which TGI purchased at two closings on June 23, 1999 and
August 17, 1999 an aggregate of 60,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the
"Series D Preferred Stock"), which were convertible into 1,200,000 shares of
Common Stock, and warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $3.00 per share (the "Warrants"). On March 30, 2000, the Series D Preferred
Stock was converted into 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock. Also on March 30,
2000, TGI exercised the Warrants to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock.
As a result of recent sales by TGI in the last sixty (60) days
which are set forth on Exhibit 4 hereto, the Registrants beneficially own
870,000 shares of Common Stock which represents approximately 4.9% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.
(e) The Registrants ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5%
of the Common Stock of the Issuer on July 31, 2000.
