This Amendment No.1 is filed with respect to the shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of WCI Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) as of September 9, 2007 and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on March 14, 2007 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

The names of the persons filing this statement on Schedule 13D are:

 

Castlerigg Master Investments Ltd. (“Castlerigg Master Investments”);

 

Sandell Asset Management Corp., (“SAMC”);

 

 

Castlerigg International Limited, (“Castlerigg International”);

 

 

Castlerigg International Holdings Limited (“Castlerigg Holdings”);

 

 

Castlerigg Global Select Fund Limited (“Castlerigg Global Select”);

 

 

CGS, Ltd. (“CGS”);

 

 

Castlerigg GS Holdings, Ltd. (“CGSH”); and

 

 

Thomas E. Sandell (“Sandell”).

 

Castlerigg Master Investments, SAMC, Castlerigg International, Castlerigg Holdings, Castlerigg Global Select, CGS, CGSH and Sandell are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business because they believed the shares to be undervalued in the market.

On March 14, 2007, SAMC sent a letter to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer (the “March 14 Letter”) setting forth its belief that a sale of the Issuer is the best and possibly only route to value creation for the Issuer’s shareholders. SAMC stated that it supported Carl Icahn’s efforts to create change at the Issuer with his alternative slate of directors and sees his recent tender offer as a positive step in value maximization at the Issuer. SAMC further stated that it believes that the onus is clearly on the Issuer’s management, Board and financial advisors to step up their efforts to secure the best possible result from the strategic review process and, if that process did not produce a higher value, to work with Mr. Icahn towards a negotiated deal, rather than hiding behind the Issuer’s recently adopted poison pill. A copy of the March 14 Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

On August 30, 2007, Nick Graziano, who is an analyst employed by SAMC, was elected to the Board by the other Board members.

 

 



 

 

Except as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Representatives of SAMC have engaged and may in the future engage in discussions with members of the Board and management as well as with other shareholders of the Issuer and other interested parties regarding the contents of the March 14 Letter and other matters of interest to the Issuer’s shareholders.

Although none of the Reporting Persons has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the shares of Common Stock, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may (i) acquire additional shares or securities of the Issuer, (ii) dispose of any or all of its securities of the Issuer or (iii) enter into privately negotiated derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market risk of some or all of its positions in the securities of the Issuer, depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such securities, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons, and/or other investment considerations.

Item 5.

(b).          None of the Reporting Persons has sole power to vote or direct the vote or sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock.
