- --------------------------------- ----------------------------- CUSIP No. 000360206 13D Page 6 of 10 Pages - --------------------------------- ----------------------------- This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 27, 1998, by Bay Harbour Management, L.C. ("Bay Harbour"), Tower Investment Group, Inc. ("Tower"), as the majority stockholder of Bay Harbour, Steven A. Van Dyke ("Van Dyke"), in his capacity as a stockholder and President of Tower, and Douglas P. Teitelbaum ("Teitelbaum"), in his capacity as a stockholder of Tower, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on February 19, 1999 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on March 12, 1999, (the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. Item 4 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares to obtain an equity position in Aaon. The Reporting Persons consider the Shares an attractive investment and intend to review their investment on an ongoing basis. Such continuing review may result in the Reporting Persons acquiring additional shares of Aaon Common Stock in the open-market or in privately negotiated transactions, maintaining their holdings at current levels or selling all or a portion of their holdings in the open-market or in privately negotiated transactions. Any such actions the Reporting Persons undertake will be dependent upon, among other things, the availability of shares of Aaon Common Stock for purchase and the price levels of such shares; general market and economic conditions; on-going evaluation of Aaon's business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; the availability of funds for the purchase of additional shares of Aaon Common Stock; the actions of the management and Board of Directors of Aaon; and other future developments. The Reporting Persons believe Aaon's management has done an adequate job on a day-to-day operational basis, but has failed to generate substantial investor interest in the stock. In other words, increased performance has not been matched by an increase in stock price. In February 1999, AAON reported record sales and earnings for 1998, with net income 70% greater than in 1997. Nevertheless, the Company's share price remained substantially unchanged from the time AAON announced its 1997 earnings until three weeks after the announcement of its 1998 earnings when press reports appeared speculating about increased Bay Harbour activity. The Reporting Persons believe that more needs to be done to enable shareholders to realize the inherent value of the Company's business and that Teitelbaum and Van Dyke would make a valuable contribution to Aaon's board of directors in formulating and implementing a plan to enhance shareholder value. Therefore, in accordance with Article III of the Bylaws, Bay Harbour has notified the Company of its intention to nominate Teitelbaum and Van Dyke for election to the board of directors at the 1999 annual meeting, and the Reporting Persons have filed preliminary proxy materials with the SEC. The Reporting Persons intend to solicit proxies for Teitelbaum's and Van Dyke's election to the Board, and for the other proposals described below, in accordance with applicable proxy regulations (the "Proxy Solicitation"). The Reporting Persons believe that it would be desirable for Aaon to explore the possibility of pursuing strategic transactions to enhance shareholder value, and have so advised the management of Aaon. Such transactions could involve the acquisition of all or part of Aaon, the sale of all or a material part of Aaon's assets, or the purchase by Aaon of companies operating in similar business lines or assets of such companies. The Reporting Persons believe it was wrong for the board to adopt a stockholder rights plan or "poison pill" last month because this action will tend to discourage prospective purchasers from making a proposal to acquire Aaon and will deny shareholders the opportunity to accept such a proposal. In addition, given the small market capitalization of the Company, a "poison pill" may discourage many institutional investors from taking a position in the stock as their minimum possible position may be greater than the limit imposed by such a pill. If Van Dyke and Teitelbaum are elected to the Board, they will work to eliminate the poison pill or to amend the poison pill so that it can not be used to block an offer that is supported by shareholders after the Board has had an opportunity to obtain better offers or persuade shareholders that - --------------------------------- ----------------------------- CUSIP No. 000360206 13D Page 7 of 10 Pages - --------------------------------- ----------------------------- Aaon should remain independent. The Reporting Persons may hold discussions with other parties who might engage in such transactions with Aaon and depending on their assessment of the factors listed above, participate in such a transaction with Aaon by providing financing. The Reporting Persons believe that Van Dyke and Teitelbaum as members of the Board, and in cooperation with the current management, can seek to improve the Company's relationship with the investor community and seek to identify and pursue strategic transactions that would enhance shareholder value. Van Dyke and Teitelbaum intend to pursue a policy of cooperation with current management to achieve these goals. However, if they are not satisfied with Aaon's progress toward these goals, the Reporting Persons may propose candidates for the three directorships to be filled at the 2000 annual meeting. If elected, these candidates and Teitelbaum and Van Dyke would constitute a majority of the Board. To assure that shareholders have a fair opportunity to elect a new board majority at the 2000 Annual Meeting, Bay Harbour has also notified the Company in accordance with Article II of the Bylaws of its intent to propose that shareholders adopt amendments to the Bylaws at the Annual Meeting that would (i) provide that the Company must hold its 2000 annual meeting by May 30, 2000 and must set a meeting date for the 2000 annual meeting by January 31, 2000, (ii) prevent the Board from amending the Company's bylaws to provide that less than one-third of the directorships will be filled at the 2000 annual meeting, (iii) reinstate the right of a majority of the shareholders of the Company to act by written consent, (iv) repeal any bylaws adopted by the Board after March 12, 1999, the date on which the Reporting Persons notified the Board of the details of their Proxy Solicitation, and (v) prevent the Board from amending the bylaws adopted by the passage of the proposals described above. The preliminary proxy materials filed by the Reporting Persons also contain information regarding these proposals. The Reporting Persons are also soliciting proxies in opposition to the Company's proposal to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to limit the personal liability of directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Corporation Law. The Reporting Persons oppose such an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation because the Reporting Persons believe that the Company's directors should be personally liable for negligence and breaches of the fiduciary duties of care and loyalty, to the extent such duties are imposed by Nevada law, whether or not such negligence or breach rises to the level of fraud, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Representatives of the Reporting Persons will solicit individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders in connection with the Proxy Solicitation and will not receive any compensation for such solicitation. The Reporting Persons have not agreed, and are not contractually obligated, to vote the shares of Aaon Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in any manner in connection with the Proxy Solicitation or with respect to any other vote of the shareholders of the Company. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to participate in or initiate, alone or with others, any plans, proposals or transactions of a similar or different nature with respect to the Company or its securities. In addition, the Reporting Persons may revise the proposals described above or submit additional proposals for action by shareholders. There can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons (or any of their affiliates) will take any of the actions described in this Item 4 with respect to the Shares or Aaon. Except as described in this Item 4, as of the date of this Statement none of the Reporting Persons has formulated any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or its subsidiaries, if any; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any change in the number or term of directors or the filling of any existing vacancies on the - --------------------------------- ----------------------------- CUSIP No. 000360206 13D Page 8 of 10 Pages - --------------------------------- ----------------------------- board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter or bylaws or other actions that 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 elgible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: (a) As of the filing date of this Statement, each Reporting Persons beneficially own 927,390 shares of Aaon Common Stock, which represent approximately 14.90% of Aaon Common Stock outstanding based upon 6,225,449 shares of Aaon Common Stock outstanding as of March 1, 1999 as set forth in the Company's annual report filed on Form 10-K on March 25, 1999 with the SEC. For purposes of disclosing the number of shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, (A) Van Dyke and Teitelbaum are deemed to beneficially own all shares of Aaon Common Stock that are beneficially owned by Tower and Bay Harbour and (B) Tower is deemed to beneficially own all shares of Aaon Common Stock that are beneficially owned by Bay Harbour. (b) Each Reporting Person has (i) the sole power to vote or direct the vote of the 927,390 shares of Aaon Common Stock held by Bay Harbour; and (ii) the sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such 927,390 shares of Aaon Common Stock; except that Van Dyke and Teitelbaum share with each other their voting and disposition power. (c) Information concerning transactions in the Shares of Aaon Common Stock by the Reporting Persons since the last amendment of this Schedule 13D is set forth below. All of the shares of Aaon Common Stock listed below were purchased in open market purchases.
