AGI, WEC, Woods, MDCP, MDP and MDP, Inc. are collectively referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons." Dispositive and voting power of securities owned by MDP is shared by MDP, Inc. and an advisory committee of limited partners of MDP (the "L.P. Committee"). Attached as Schedule A to this Schedule 13D is information concerning the Reporting Persons and other persons and entities as to which such information is required to be disclosed in response to Item 2 and General Instruction C to Schedule 13D. Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information given by another Reporting Person. By their signature on this Statement, each of the Reporting Persons agrees that this Statement is filed on behalf of such Reporting Person. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group other than as described in this Statement. MDCP, MDP and MDP, Inc. are engaged in the private equity investment business. The address of the principal business and principal office of each of MDCP, MDP and MDP, Inc. is Three First National Plaza, Suite 3800, Chicago, Illinois 60602. 8 Woods is a holding company, the principal operating subsidiary of which is WEC. WEC is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing and marketing attachments for ground maintenance and construction equipment. AGI is a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of WEC and was formed for the sole purpose of effecting the Merger (see Item 4). The address of the principal business and principal office of AGI, WEC and Woods is 6944 Newburg Road, Rockford, Illinois 61108. During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons or their officers or directors has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons or their officers or directors was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activity subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. The Options were purchased by WEC from its internal funds, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000.00 pursuant to option agreements, dated as of August 18, 1998, by and between WEC, AGI and each of Mr. Donald J. Douglass, (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer), Mrs. Helen Douglass (wife of Mr. Douglass), the Douglass Charitable Remainder Unitrust, and Capital Southwest Venture Corporation (collectively, the "Option Agreements"). The Option Agreements between WEC, AGI and each of Mr. Donald J. Douglass and Capital Southwest Venture Corporation, which together are exercisable to purchase up to 3,694,975 shares of Common Stock (or 96.0% of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D), are filed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit A. All of the Option Agreements are identical, except that the Option Agreement between WEC, AGI and Mr. Donald J. Douglass is exercisable to purchase up to 1,034,975 shares of Common Stock, the Option Agreement between WEC, AGI and Capital Southwest Venture Corporation is exercisable to purchase up to 2,660,000 shares of Common Stock, the Option Agreement between WEC, AGI and the Douglass Charitable Remainder Unitrust is exercisable to purchase up to 89,420 shares of Common Stock, and the Option Agreement between WEC, AGI and Mrs. Helen Douglass is exercisable to purchase up to 63,000 shares of Common Stock. No decision has been made at this time as to the source of funds for any exercise of the Options which may occur in the future. Potential sources include internal funds of the Reporting Persons and/or borrowings from one or more sources yet to be identified. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. WEC, AGI and the Issuer have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 18, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, AGI will merge with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer continuing in existence as a wholly-owned subsidiary of WEC. In the Merger, the Issuer's shareholders other than the Reporting Persons will receive cash in the amount of $18.50 per share of Common Stock. The Option Agreements were executed in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is filed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B. 9 Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. The Options are exercisable to purchase up to 3,847,395 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") at a price per share of $18.50 in cash, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. As of the date hereof, all of the Shares covered by the Options are issued and outstanding and are held of record by the person granting the Option. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)(D) promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act, AGI and WEC may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Shares. WEC also received a proxy to vote the shares which are the subject of the Options on matters relating to the Merger. Woods and MDCP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares, and such beneficial ownership would represent approximately 39.5% of the Common Stock outstanding at August 18, 1998. MDP is the general partner of MDCP and exercises investment and voting control over securities owned by MDCP. Investment and voting control over securities owned by MDCP is shared at MDP by the L.P. Committee, the members of which are listed on Schedule A of this Statement, and by MDP, Inc., the general partner of MDP. The sole director of MDP, Inc. is set forth on Schedule A of this Statement. Thus, by virtue of the investment and voting control exercised by MDP as general partner of MDCP and shared by members of the L.P. Committee and MDP, Inc., each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares. The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission by AGI, WEC, Woods, MDCP, MDP, MDP, Inc., or any member of the L.P. Committee that such person is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement. All such ownership percentages of the securities reported herein are based upon 9,735,759 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 1998, as disclosed in the Issuer's 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 14, 1998 for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1998. There have been no transactions by the Reporting Persons in the Common Stock during the past 60 days which are required to be reported in this Statement. No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock underlying the Options owned beneficially by any of the Reporting Persons. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. 10 Reference is made to the information disclosed under Items 2, 3 and 4 of this Statement which is incorporated by reference in response to this Item.
