This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on June 21, 2000 by
The Anschutz Corporation ("TAC"), Anschutz Company ("AC"), Anschutz Investment
Company ("AIC"), and Philip F. Anschutz ("Anschutz") relates to shares of common
stock, $.01 par value per share, of Rentech Inc. (the "Company") and amends
Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, all
capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set
forth in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The information previously furnished in response to this Item is
amended to add the following:
On June 2, 2000, AIC assigned its interest in the 2004 Option
Agreement to The Anschutz Foundation. As a result, all of AIC's rights under the
2004 Option Agreement to purchase shares of Common Stock were transferred to The
Anschutz Foundation. The purpose of the assignment was for AIC to transfer part
of its ownership in the Company to and for the benefit of The Anschutz
Foundation. As a result of this transfer, the deemed beneficial ownership of AIC
(and TAC, AC and Anschutz) is less than 5% of the Company and AIC, TAC, AC and
Anschutz will no longer be required to file under Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
The information previously furnished in response to this Item is
amended to read as follows:
As of the date hereof, AIC is the record and beneficial owner of
938,750 shares of Common Stock and 1,877,500 Options to purchase Common Stock
pursuant to the 2001 Options. Because of an anti-dilution adjustment provision
in the 2001 Option Agreement and based upon information provided by the Company,
the original right to acquire 1,877,500 shares of Common Stock has since
increased by 29,429 shares of Common Stock, such that the 2001 Option Agreement
currently grants AIC the right to acquire a total of 1,906,929 shares of Common
Stock. TAC, AC and Anschutz are the indirect beneficial owners of all such
interests. Assuming exercise of all such Options, AIC is the direct beneficial
owner (and TAC, AC and Anschutz the indirect beneficial owner) of 2,845,679
shares of Common Stock, which, based on calculations made in accordance with
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and, as of June 2, 2000, there being 62,780,008
shares of Common Stock outstanding for the purposes of such calculations,
represents approximately 4.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
including the shares AIC, TAC, AC and Anschutz have a right to acquire within 60
days.(1)
------------------
(1) This calculation utilizes the Company's statement that 60,873,079 shares of
Common Stock were outstanding as of April 5, 1999, as set forth in the Company's
proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders on May 25, 2000, along
with AIC's right to acquire 1,906,929 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the
2001 Option Agreement.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF ISSUER.
The information previously furnished in response to this Item is
amended to add the following:
On June 2, 2000, AIC assigned its acquisition rights to the 938,750
of the 2004 Options to The Anschutz Foundation. The June 2, 2000, assignment
letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated herein by
reference. Given this assignment, the related rights under the Registration
Rights Agreement as to the 2004 Options have likewise been transferred to The
Anschutz Foundation as to 938,750 shares of Common Stock, leaving AIC with
rights to purchase 1,877,500 shares of Common Stock under the 2001 Option
Agreement. As indicated in Item 5 above, because of an anti-dilution adjustment
since the original issuance of the 2001 Option Agreement, AIC's rights to
purchase an additional 1,877,500 shares of Common Stock has increased by 29,429
shares such that AIC currently has the right to acquire a total of 1,906,929
shares of Common Stock under the 2001 Option Agreement.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILES AS EXHIBITS
The information previously furnished in response to this Item is
amended to add the following:
