CUSIP No. 318457-10-8   Page 6 of 9 Pages

     This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D is being filed by (i) Gerald J. Ford, as an individual and as sole trustee and sole grantor of the Turtle Creek Revocable Trust (“Turtle Creek”), (ii) Ford Diamond Corporation, a Texas corporation (“Ford Diamond”), (iii) Hunter’s Glen/Ford, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Hunter’s Glen”), and (iv) Jeremy B. Ford to amend the Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D dated December 15, 2004, filed by (i) Gerald J. Ford, as an individual and as sole trustee and sole grantor of Turtle Creek, (ii) Ford Diamond, (iii) Hunter’s Glen and (iv) Jeremy B. Ford to amend Items 1, 3 and 5.

     On December 15 2003, Liberté Investors Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Liberté”), the predecessor company to First Acceptance Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced a proposed rights offering to allow its stockholders, as of March 31, 2004, the right to purchase an additional 0.61 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for each share that a stockholder of the Company owned as of March 31, 2004 (each a “Right,” and collectively, the “Rights”), at a price of $4.00 per share (the “Rights Offering”). Under a Backstop Agreement entered into by and between Liberté and Hunter’s Glen, an affiliate of Gerald J. Ford, dated December 15, 2003(the “Backstop Agreement”), Hunter’s Glen agreed to: (i) subscribe for and exercise its pro rata share of Rights offered in the Rights Offering and (ii) subscribe for and exercise all Rights that remained unsold in the Rights Offering.

     Under the Rights Offering, Gerald J. Ford, as the sole trustee and sole grantor of Turtle Creek, subscribed for, acquired and exercised Turtle Creek’s pro rata share of Rights offered in the Rights Offering. As a result, on April 30, 2004, Turtle Creek was issued 465,918 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share. Pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, Hunter’s Glen: (i) subscribed for, acquired and exercised its pro rata share of Rights offered in the Rights Offering and (ii) subscribed for, acquired and exercised all Rights that remained unsold in the Rights Offering. As a result, on April 30, 2004, Hunter’s Glen was issued 4,881,487 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share as its pro rata share of Rights offered in the Rights Offering. Hunter’s Glen was issued 563,728 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share for Rights that remained unsold in the Rights Offering. Under the Rights Offering, Jeremy B. Ford subscribed for, acquired and exercised his pro rata share of Rights offered in the Rights Offering. As a result, on April 30, 2004, Jeremy B. Ford was issued 363,865 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.00 per share. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and between Hunter’s Glen and Gerald J. Ford dated May 3, 2004 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), Hunter’s Glen agreed to sell and Gerald J. Ford agreed to purchase 563,728 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $4.00 per share.

     This amendment updates changes in ownership interest in securities of the Company for Gerald J. Ford, Hunter’s Glen, Turtle Creek, Ford Diamond and Jeremy B. Ford for the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of Rights issued in connection with the Rights Offering and to reflect the transfer of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Unless set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged.

     Item 1. Security and Issuer.

     Item 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     The class of equity security to which this statement relates is the Common Stock of the Company (f/k/a Liberté Investors Inc.). The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 3813 Green Hills Village Drive, Nashville, Tennessee 37215.

 


 

CUSIP No. 318457-10-8   Page 7 of 9 Pages

     Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     Item 3 is hereby supplemented to include:

     The $1,863,672 purchase price paid for the shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased in the Rights Offering by Gerald J. Ford, as the sole trustee and sole grantor of Turtle Creek, represent cash from Turtle Creek’s funds.

     The $21,780,860 purchase price paid for the shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased in the Rights Offering by Hunter’s Glen represent cash from Hunter’s Glen’s funds.

     The $1,455,460 purchase price paid for the shares of Common Stock of the Company purchased in the Rights Offering by Jeremy B. Ford represent proceeds from a loan from Hunter’s Glen to Jeremy B. Ford.

     The $2,254,912 purchase price paid for the shares of Common Stock purchased by Gerald J. Ford from Hunter’s Glen pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement represents cash from Gerald J. Ford’s personal funds.

     Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Item 5 (a), (b) and (c) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

  (a) Because of their affiliation with Gerald J. Ford, Hunter’s Glen, Ford Diamond and Turtle Creek, as well as Gerald J. Ford individually, each may be deemed to beneficially own 15,637,737 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which represents approximately 33.70% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. This number includes all shares owned by Jeremy B. Ford, the son of Gerald J. Ford, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Gerald J. Ford and any entity affiliated with Gerald J. Ford.

     Jeremy B. Ford is the beneficial owner of 960,365 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which represents approximately 2.07% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
