filed were
9
purchased for $250,000. The Common Stock was acquired by means of a brokerage
account held at Salomon Smith Barney, funded by John Ghaznavi.
ITEM 4. Purpose of the Transaction
--------------------------
John Ghaznavi has for many years had a significant interest, direct and
indirect, in Anchor Glass. He acquired the shares of Common Stock reported in
this Schedule 13D for the purpose of increasing the degree of control that he
has, directly or indirectly, with respect to the company. The Reporting Persons
from time to time intend to review their investment in Anchor Glass on the basis
of various factors, including Anchor Glass' business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions,
the securities markets in general and those for Anchor Glass securities in
particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities.
Based upon such review, the Reporting Persons may determine either directly or
indirectly, as they may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing
from time to time, to (i) acquire additional securities of Anchor Glass, either
in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, (ii) dispose of some
or all of the securities of Anchor Glass which they beneficially own, or (iii)
propose a merger, consolidation, joint venture or other business combination
involving Anchor Glass or its subsidiaries or divisions, a sale or purchase of
assets or securities of Anchor Glass or its subsidiaries of divisions, a
recapitalization, reorganization or liquidation involving Anchor Glass or its
subsidiaries or divisions, a change in the current structure of Anchor Glass or
its subsidiaries or divisions or other similar actions.
On August 1, 2001, a letter of intent was entered into between Owens-
Illinois, Inc., ("OI") and John Ghaznavi. In connection with the letter of
intent, OI Domestic Holdings, Inc. ("Purchaser") plans to acquire from Consumers
International, Inc., a Canadian corporation, all right, title and interest in
and to the stock of Consumers U.S., Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Asset
Purchase"). Subsequent to that Asset Purchase, the Purchaser has agreed to sell
to John Ghaznavi all of the stock of Consumers U.S., Inc. (the "Stock Purchase")
received by the Purchaser pursuant to the Asset Purchase. Through this Stock
Purchase, John Ghaznavi shall also acquire approximately 58% of the outstanding
equity shares (on a fully diluted basis) of Anchor Glass, which is currently
held by Consumers U.S., Inc.
Except as set forth in this statement on Schedule 13D, none of the
Reporting Persons have either plans or proposals that relate to or would result
in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of Anchor Glass
or any of its subsidiaries or the disposition of securities of Anchor Glass or
any of its subsidiaries; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Anchor Glass or any of its
subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Anchor
Glass or of any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present Board of
Directors or management of Anchor Glass or any of its subsidiaries, including
any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any
existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present
capitalization or dividend policy of Anchor Glass; (vi) any changes in Anchor
Glass's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions
which may impede the acquisition of control of Anchor Glass by any persons;
(viii) causing the Common Stock to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system
10
of a registered national securities association; (ix) any class of equity
securities of Anchor Glass becoming eligible for termination of registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (x) any action similar to those
enumerated above. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, either individually
or in any combination, to determine in the future to take or cause to be taken
one or more of the foregoing actions.
