Page 4 of 7 Pages STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1 OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OR 1934, AS AMENDED ================================================================================ The Statement on Schedule 13D of Apollo Investment Fund, L.P. ("AIF"), Apollo Advisors, L.P. ("Advisors") and Lion Advisors, L.P. ("Lion" and together with AIF and Advisors, the "Reporting Persons") relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Samsonite Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), is hereby amended as follows: Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. - ------ ------------------------------------------------- See the information set forth under "Item 4. Purpose of Transaction." Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. - ------ ---------------------- Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following immediately prior to the third paragraph from the end of that Item: In accordance with the Backstop Arrangement, on November 5, 1999 AIF purchased from the Issuer approximately 484 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $12,295,002, and Artemis purchased from the Issuer approximately 484 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $12,294,996. The Convertible Preferred Shares acquired by AIF on November 5, 1999 are convertible into 2,049,167 shares of Common Stock; the Convertible Preferred Shares acquired by Artemis on November 5, 1999 are convertible into 2,049,166 shares of Common Stock. On November 5, 1999, regulatory approvals that were a condition precedent to the ability of the Reporting Persons to convert their Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock were obtained. Upon consummation of the Rights Offering, the Conversion Price for all Convertible Preferred Stock became fixed at $6.00 per share. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. - ------ ------------------------------------ Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: (a) AIF beneficially owns an aggregate of 5,945,901 shares of Common Stock, including 4,166,667 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of approximately Page 5 of 7 Pages 984 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock held by AIF. Advisors, as the general partner of AIF, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such shares. This represents approximately 38.3% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. 5,945,189 shares of Common Stock, including 4,166,666 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of approximately 984 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, are currently held by Lion in a managed account on behalf of Artemis (the "Artemis Shares"). In light of the retention by Lion of certain rights of disposition and financial interests in the Artemis Shares, the Artemis Shares have been included in this Report; however, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares. As a result of the Stockholders Agreement described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons and Artemis may be deemed to have formed a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). In addition, AIF and Apollo, on the one hand, and Lion, on the other hand, may be deemed to be a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any securities other than the securities stated herein to be beneficially owned by such Reporting Person. Notwithstanding the inclusion of the Artemis Shares within this Report, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Artemis or any other party and further disclaim the existence of a group. In addition, AIF and Apollo, on the one hand, and Lion, on the other hand, expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other and further disclaim the existence of a group. (b) AIF has sole voting and sole dispositive power with respect to an aggregate of 5,945,901 shares of Common Stock. Lion may be deemed to have shared dispositive power with respect to 5,945,189 shares of Common Stock. See also the disclosure in Item 5(a) above. (c) Not applicable. (d) Not applicable.
