ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on behalf of the
Progressive Entities (as defined below) on December 31, 1997, the Schedule 13D
filed on behalf of the BBH Entities (as defined below) on December 30, 1997, and
the Schedule 13G filed on behalf of the Prudential Entities (as defined below
and, together with the Progressive Entities and the BBH Entities, the "Reporting
Persons") on April 26, 1999, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D
filed on May 6, 1999, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on July 12, 1999
("Amendment No. 2"), and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on October
18, 1999 ("Amendment No. 3"), is being filed in connection with changes in the
Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of National Auto Finance Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) On January 1, 2000, the Issuer issued to the Reporting Persons,
as the holders of the Issuer's Convertible Senior Subordinated Promissory Notes
due December 22, 2004 (the "Convertible Notes"), a copy of a form of which was
previously filed as Exhibit 7.8 to Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by
reference, additional Convertible Notes in the total aggregate principal amount
of $785,399.00 in lieu of the interest accrued on the Convertible Notes. The
Convertible Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at a
price of $0.75 per share, into shares of Common Stock. Additional Convertible
Notes shall be identical in form and substance, and shall entitle the holder
thereof, to the benefits of such Convertible Notes.
In connection with the issuance as described above of additional
Convertible Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $219,912.00, PC
Investment Company, a Delaware corporation ("PCI"), shall be deemed to have
acquired beneficial ownership of an additional 293,215 shares of Common Stock.
Accordingly, each of The Progressive Corporation, an Ohio corporation
("Progressive"), Progressive Casualty Insurance Company, an Ohio corporation
("Progressive Casualty"), PCI and Progressive Investment Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Progressive Investment" and, together with Progressive,
Progressive Casualty and PCI, the "Progressive Entities"), may be deemed to
beneficially own 4,720,212 shares of Common Stock (the "Progressive Shares"), or
25.5% of the Issuer's Common Stock, which percentage is calculated based upon
(i) 17,280,762 shares of Common Stock represented by the Issuer to be issued and
outstanding on September 30, 1999, plus (ii) 363,623 shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Progressive Investment, and (iii)
836,589 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes
held by PCI, for a total of 18,480,974 outstanding shares, accounting for
securities deemed to be outstanding under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)(D) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). There is shared voting
power with respect to 4,230,000 shares of Common Stock owned by National Auto
Finance Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, with respect to which the
Progressive Entities, the BBH Entities and the Prudential Entities have an
irrevocable proxy
<PAGE>
- ---------------------------------- ------------------------
CUSIP No. 632528-10-5 Page 15 of 20 Pages
- ---------------------------------- ------------------------
to vote (the "Partnership Shares"). The Progressive Entities disclaim beneficial
ownership of the Partnership Shares, the BBH Shares (as defined below) and the
Prudential Shares (as defined below).
In connection with the issuance as described above of additional
Convertible Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $251,327.00, The 1818
Mezzanine Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Fund"), shall be
deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of an additional 335,102 shares of
Common Stock. Accordingly, each of the Fund, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., a
New York limited partnership ("BBH&Co."), Robert R. Gould, a United States
citizen ("Gould"), T. Michael Long, a United States citizen ("Long"), and
Lawrence C. Tucker, a United States citizen ("Tucker"), may be deemed to
