ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
 
     This  statement relates to the common stock,  par value $.01 per share (the
'Company Common Stock'), of Holnam Inc. (the 'Company'), the principal executive
offices of which  are located  at 6211 North  Ann Arbor  Road, Dundee,  Michigan
48131.
 
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
 
     This statement is filed by Thomas Schmidheiny ('Schmidheiny'), 'Holderbank'
Financiere  Glaris Ltd., a  Swiss corporation ('Holderbank'),  Holdernam Inc., a
Delaware corporation  ('Holdernam'), and  Holcem  Inc., a  Delaware  corporation
('Holcem'). Through various Swiss entities, legally or beneficially, directly or
indirectly,  Schmidheiny holds  approximately 48% of  Holderbank's voting stock.
Schmidheiny's  address  is  Zuercherstrasse  170,  CH-8645  Jona,   Switzerland.
Holderbank's  principal  offices  are  located  at  Insel  14,  CH-8750  Glaris,
Switzerland. Holdernam  is  a wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Holderbank  with  its
principal  offices  at  6211  North  Ann  Arbor  Road,  Dundee,  Michigan  48131
(telephone: (313) 529-2411).  Holcem is a  wholly-owned subsidiary of  Holdernam
with  its  principal  offices located  at  6211  North Ann  Arbor  Road, Dundee,
Michigan 48131.
 
     Holderbank, through its subsidiaries  and affiliates, ranks  as one of  the
largest  cement manufacturers and suppliers  in the world with  a presence in 30
countries.
 
     Neither Schmidheiny, Holderbank, Holdernam nor  Holcem has during the  last
five  years been convicted in  a criminal proceeding or been  a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or  administrative body of competent jurisdiction  that
resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, U.S. federal or state securities
laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
 
     Listed  on  the  attached Annex  A  are  the only  directors  and executive
officers of Holderbank, Holdernam and  Holcem, together with their positions  at
Holderbank,    Holdernam   and   Holcem,   their   residences   and   --   where
appropriate -- business addresses and their citizenship.
 
                             Page 6 of 19 Pages
<PAGE>

     None of these  directors and  executive officers  has been  convicted in  a
criminal proceeding in the past five years (not including traffic violations and
similar  minor matters) and none has been  the subject of proceedings under U.S.
federal or state securities laws which  resulted in the issuance of a  judgment,
order or decree. Except for Peter Byland and Anton E. Schrafl, who are directors
of  the Company and  who each owns 250  shares of Company  Common Stock, none of
these directors  and  executive  officers  has any  interest  in  the  Company's
securities  or other involvement  with the Company  except through his positions
with Holderbank, Holdernam or Holcem.
 
     Holderbank has presently issued and outstanding 14,100,000 shares of voting
stock. Of these, 10,100,000 are  registered shares and 4,000,000  non-registered
or  bearer shares. Each registered  and bearer share is  entitled to one vote on
matters submitted to a vote of  stockholders. At December 31, 1993,  Schmidheiny
held  through  various  Swiss  entities, legally  or  beneficially,  directly or
indirectly,   an   aggregate   of   approximately   6,768,000   registered   and
non-registered  or bearer shares constituting  approximately 48% of Holderbank's
voting stock. Holders of  bearer shares are not  generally known by  Holderbank.
However,  holders of  registered shares  can be  identified. Based  on the share
register, in  addition  to Schmidheiny,  Swiss  entities controlled  by  Societe
Suisse  de Ciment Portland S.A., a publicly-held Swiss corporation ('SSCP'), are
the sole holders of registered shares corresponding to more than five percent of
the  voting  stock   of  Holderbank.  Through   various  entities,  legally   or
beneficially,   directly  or   indirectly,  SSCP   holds  approximately   9%  of
Holderbank's voting  stock.  Schmidheiny is  also  a director  of  SSCP.  SSCP's
address is 23, Faubourg de l'hopital, 2000 Neuchatel, Switzerland.
 
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
 
     Holderbank   will  provide  the   necessary  funds  to   pay  the  minority
stockholders (the 'Public Stockholders')  of the Company  (other than those  who
perfect  their dissenters'  appraisal rights) for  the shares  of Company Common
Stock held by them from borrowings under existing lines of credit which are more
than sufficient for this purpose. Holderbank will make these funds available  to
Holdernam as a contribution to the capital of Holdernam.
                              Page 7 of 19 Pages

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
 
     The  Board of Directors  of Holcem, as the  holder of more  than 90% of the
Company Common Stock and all the  preferred stock of the Company, together  with
Holdernam  as the sole  stockholder of Holcem,  approved on January  7, 1994 the
merger (the 'Merger') of  Holcem with and into  the Company pursuant to  Section
253  of the General Corporation  Law of the State  of Delaware (the 'DGCL') with
the result that the separate corporate existence of Holcem will cease, Holdernam
will become the owner of 100% of the outstanding equity of the Company and  each
outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than any shares owned by Holcem
or  held by stockholders who perfect their dissenters' appraisal rights) will be
converted into the right to receive $7.65 in cash from Holdernam.
 
     Holderbank seeks to  merge out  the Public Stockholders  for the  following
reasons:  (i) the Merger  will secure for  Holderbank the freedom  to manage the
business of the Company  without the inherent complexities  of operating a  U.S.
public  company; (ii) the Merger will avoid the significant costs of maintaining
a publicly-traded U.S.  company, particularly with  its potential for  expensive
and  timeconsuming litigation; (iii)  the Merger will  allow Holderbank to fully
control the cash flow of  the Company so that, if  and when opportune, it  might
reinvest  such funds  in business opportunities  elsewhere; and  (iv) the Merger

Common Stock, representing approximately 94.9% of the outstanding Company Common
Stock  as of  January 7,  1994. Because Holcem  is a  wholly-owned subsidiary of

Stock. Because Holdernam is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holderbank,  Holderbank

                            (A DELAWARE CORPORATION)
                       (FILED PURSUANT TO SECTION 253 OF
                         THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF
                             THE STATE OF DELAWARE)
 
     The undersigned hereby certify that:
 
     (1)  Holnam Inc. ('Holnam')  was incorporated on  the 8th day  of May, 1981
under the name HOFI North America  Inc. pursuant to the General Corporation  Law
of the State of Delaware.
 
     (2)  Holcem Inc., a  corporation incorporated on the  23rd day of December,
1993  pursuant  to  the  General  Corporation  Law  of  the  State  of  Delaware
('Holcem'),  owns more than 90%  of the issued and  outstanding shares of common
stock, par  value  $.01  per  share,  of Holnam  and  100%  of  the  issued  and
outstanding  shares of 7% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.10
per share, of Holnam, which constitute  all the outstanding classes of stock  of
Holnam.
 
     (3)  The directors of Holcem, at a  meeting duly called and held on January
7, 1994, unanimously adopted the following resolutions authorizing the merger of
Holcem with and  into Holnam (the  'Merger') and the  amendment of the  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of Holnam:
 
MERGER OF HOLCEM WITH HOLNAM
 
     RESOLVED,  that, pursuant to Section 253  of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware  (the 'DGCL'), Holcem merge  (the 'Merger') with and  into
Holnam Inc., a Delaware corporation ('Holnam').
 
     RESOLVED,  that at the effective time  of the Merger each outstanding share
of common stock of Holnam (other than any shares owned by Holcem and subject  to
the  rights of  stockholders of Holnam  who perfect  their dissenters' appraisal
rights) be  converted  into  the right  to  receive  $7.65 in  cash  (the  'Cash
Consideration') upon the surrender of the certificates for such shares of common
stock of Holnam to the paying agent for Holdernam Inc.
 
     RESOLVED,  that this  Board of Directors  has reviewed  and considered such
information from and related  to Holnam and concerning  the Merger as it  deemed
relevant  and  appropriate, and  a presentation  by and  the opinion  of Merrill
Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, dated January 7, 1994 and addressed to Holcem and
certain affiliates of Holcem, concerning the fairness of the Cash  Consideration
to be received by the stockholders of Holnam other than Holcem and, on the basis
of such review and consideration, this Board of Directors finds the Merger to be
fair to the stockholders of Holnam other than Holcem.

and  the  owner  of all  the  issued  and outstanding  capital  stock  of Holcem
('Holdernam'), of the certificates for the  shares of common stock of Holcem  to
the paying agent after the effective time of the Merger, Holnam shall deliver or
cause  to be delivered to Holdernam certificates  for (a) 1,000 shares of common
stock of Holnam in lieu of the 128,491,701 shares of common stock of Holnam held
by Holcem  prior to  the Merger,  and (b)  1,034.71333 shares  of 7%  Cumulative
Convertible  Preferred Stock of Holnam  in lieu of the  620,828 shares of the 7%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred  Stock of Holnam  held by Holcem  prior to  the
Merger,  which  newly issued  certificates shall  represent  all the  issued and
outstanding equity securities of Holnam immediately after the Merger.
 
     RESOLVED, that  the stockholders  of Holnam  other than  Holcem shall  have
appraisal rights as set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL.
 
<PAGE>
     RESOLVED,  that the  proper officers of  Holcem are  authorized to execute,
acknowledge, file and record a certificate of ownership and merger in accordance
with the requirements of Section 253 of the DGCL (the 'Certificate of  Ownership
and  Merger') and to cause  the Merger to become  effective, all without further
action by this Board of Directors.
 
     RESOLVED, that at any time before  the Certificate of Ownership and  Merger
is  filed with the  Secretary of State of  the State of  Delaware, this Board of
Directors may amend these resolutions and abandon the Merger, all in the  manner
and to the extent permitted by Sections 253(c) and 251(d) of the DGCL.
