SCHEDULE 13D
(Amendment No. 12)
NOTE: For convenience, Abdullatif Ali Alissa Est. (the
"Establishment"), Mr. Saad A. Alissa, General Investors Limited
and Financial Investors Limited are sometimes collectively
referred to as the "Filing Persons." All capitalized terms used
in this Amendment No. 12 and not defined herein shall have the
same meaning as in the statement of Saad A. Alissa on Schedule
13D dated August 31, 1994, as amended through the date hereof.
Except as expressly stated below, there have been no material
changes in the information contained in such Schedule 13D, as
amended.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, on January 29, 1997, Mr. Alissa exercised
his rights as a stockholder of Talley Industries, Inc. (the
"Company") and demanded the right to inspect the Company's
stockholder list for the purpose of communicating with other
stockholders regarding the Company's affairs, including
matters to be considered and acted upon by the stockholders
at the Company's upcoming 1997 annual meeting.
In addition, Mr. Alissa has retained the proxy
solicitation firm of Beacon Hill Partners to provide advice
regarding the possible solicitation of proxies in opposition
to management for use in connection with the Company's
annual meeting.
Once the Company has provided the stockholder list to
Mr. Alissa pursuant to his pending demand, the Filing Persons
intend to communicate with other stockholders of the Company in
exploring the possibility of such a solicitation in opposition.
Such solicitation may include proposals relating to: (1) election
of directors in opposition to management's nominees; (2)
elimination of anti-takeover provisions, including the Company's
staggered board and the rights plan known as a "poison pill,"
which Mr. Alissa believes serve only to entrench management; and
(3) taking other appropriate actions to adopt structural and
management changes to enhance corporate democracy, to make the
<PAGE>
CUSIP No. 874687106 Page 7 of 9
Company more responsive to shareholders and to increase
shareholder value. Proposals in this last category may include
those previously made by Mr. Alissa directly to management of the
Company__namely recommending that the Board of Directors take the
steps necessary (i) either to declare and pay a dividend to
shareholders, make a self-tender offer or implement a buyback
program of the Company's shares, so that all shareholders might
participate in the proceeds of recent litigation and real estate
sales and (ii) to retain an independent investment banker to
value all businesses engaged in by the Company and to recommend a
course of action to enhance shareholder value.
Except for the foregoing developments, the Filing Persons do
not have any current plan or proposal which relates to or would
result in any of the following actions, however, the Filing
Persons will continue to evaluate the Company's business
prospects and financial condition, the market for the Company's
Common Stock, other opportunities available to the Filing
Persons, general economic conditions and other factors, and may
formulate plans or proposals which could relate to or result in
one or more such actions, which consist of the following:
(a) the acquisition by any person of additional
securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of
the Company, except as otherwise contemplated by this Schedule
13D, as amended;
(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or
any of its subsidiaries;
(c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of the
assets of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries;
(d) any change in the present Board of Directors or
management of the Company, including plans or proposals to change
the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies
on the Board;
(e) any material change in the present capitalization
or dividend policy of the Company;
<PAGE>
CUSIP No. 874687106 Page 8 of 9
(f) any other material change in the Company's
business or corporate structure;
(g) changes in the Company's Charter, Bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may
impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;
(h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be
delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be
authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association;
(i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming
eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
(j) any action similar to any of those enumerated
above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
There has been no change in the Filing Persons' beneficial
ownership since the last transaction reported in Amendment No. 8 to
this Schedule 13D.
