Note 1 to Cover Pages of Schedule 13D
443,370 shares of the Common Stock of Blount International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), are directly owned by The Blount
Holding Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Blount
Partnership"). Winton M. Blount is the sole stockholder, director and
executive officer of BHP, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the sole
general partner of the Blount Partnership ("BHP"). As the sole general
partner of the Blount Partnership, BHP has the sole voting and
dispositive power with respect to the shares of the Common Stock of
the Issuer owned directly by the Blount Partnership, subject only to
certain limitations set forth in the Agreement of Limited Partnership
of the Blount Partnership (filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D as
originally filed) and to certain rights of the limited partners of the
Blount Partnership to receive certain of such shares upon the
occurrence of certain events. Due to the circumstances set forth
above, however, Winton M. Blount controls BHP and effectively has sole
voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of the Common
Stock of the Issuer owned directly by the Blount Partnership. Winton
M. Blount has excluded 12,068 shares of Common Stock owned by his
wife.
This Amendment No.2 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D,
initially filed on November 13, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the
Schedule 13D, filed on April 22, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to shares
of the Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Blount International,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and to the shares of the Class B
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer. Unless otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings
given such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On April 18, 1999, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger and Recapitalization, dated as of April 18, 1999 (the "Merger
Agreement"), between Red Dog Acquisition, Corp.("Acquisition Sub") and Issuer.
On August 19, 1999, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub merged
with and into the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer was the surviving
corporation and became a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking
Partners II L.P. ("Parent") (the "Merger").
As a result of the Merger, each share of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Merger (except for shares owned by stockholders who did not vote in
favor of or consent to the Merger and who was entitled to demand appraisal
rights and shares owned by Issuer and Acquisition Sub), was converted into $30
in cash or two fully paid and non-assessable shares of new Common Stock of the
Issuer, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), depending on whether a
"non-cash" election was made and not withdrawn and the effects of proration
pursuant to the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Merger, the Shares of
Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned by Winton M. Blount, BHP,
and the Blount Partnership immediately prior to the Merger were converted into
an amount of cash and the Shares of Common Stock of Issuer set forth on pages
2-4 of this Amendment No. 2. As a result of the Merger, Winton M. Blount, BHP,
and the Blount Partnership ceased to own 5% or more of any class of capital
stock of the Issuer and, therefore, ceased to have reporting obligations
pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect
to securities of the Issuer.
5 of 9
<PAGE> 6
As a result of the Merger, the Common Stock was listed on the
New York Stock Exchange, while the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The registration of Class
A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 similarly became eligible for termination pursuant to Rule 12(g)(4) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) The Blount Holding Company, L.P. directly owns
443,370 shares or 1.4% of the outstanding Common
Stock of the Issuer, and no longer owns, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Class A Common Stock or
Class B Common Stock of the Issuer. BHP, Inc., the
sole general partner of the Blount Partnership, does
not directly own any securities of the Issuer
subject to this statement. Winton M. Blount, the
sole stockholder, director and executive officer of
BHP, directly owns 40,708 shares or less than 1% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer, and no longer owns, directly or indirectly,
any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
Stock of the Issuer. Mr. Blount may also be deemed
to be the beneficial owner of 12,068 shares of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer owned by his
spouse. Mr. Blount disclaims beneficial ownership of
the securities of the Issuer owned by his spouse.
Because Winton M. Blount is the sole stockholder,
director and executive officer of BHP, which in turn
is the sole general partner of the Blount
Partnership, Mr. Blount may also be deemed to
beneficially own all of the securities of the Issuer
owned directly by the Blount Partnership.
(b) Winton M. Blount, as the sole stockholder, director
and executive officer of BHP, the sole general
partner of the Blount Partnership, has the effective
sole voting and dispositive power for the securities
of the Issuer directly owned by the Blount
Partnership. In addition, Winton M. Blount has sole
voting and dispositive power with respect to the
securities of the Issuer that he owns directly and
that were disclosed in subparagraph (a) of this Item
5.
(c) Except with respect to the conversion of Shares and
settlement of stock options pursuant to the Merger,
there have been no transactions in the securities of
the Issuer reported on that were effected during the
past 60 (sixty) days by any of the persons filing
this statement.
(d) Certain of the shares owned by the persons filing
this statement or by other persons named in Item 2
are or may be pledged to various creditors to secure
financial obligations. In most cases, such creditors
have or will have the right to receive dividends
with respect to the shares so pledged only in the
event of default in such obligations.
(e) As a result of the Merger, on August 19, 1999,
Winton M. Blount, BHP, and the Blount Partnership,
each ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than
five percent of any class of securities subject to
this statement.
