TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON OO - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends the Statement on Schedule 13D dated May 24, 2002 (the "Schedule 13D") filed on behalf of (i) Bankers Insurance Group, Inc., a Florida corporation ("BIG"); (ii) Bankers Insurance Company, a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of BIG ("BIC"), as a direct beneficial owner of Common Stock; (iii) Bankers Security Insurance Company, a Florida corporation and jointly-owned subsidiary of BIG and BIC ("BSIC"), as a direct beneficial owner of Common Stock; (iv) Bankers Financial Corporation ("BFC"), Bankers International Financial Corporation ("BIFC") and Bankers International Financial Corporation, Ltd. ("BIFC Ltd."), all of which are Florida corporations, except BIFC Ltd., which is a Cayman Islands corporation, as the direct, indirect and ultimate parent corporations, respectively, of BIG; (v) Ansbacher (Cayman) Limited ("Ansbacher"), as trustee of the Bankers International Financial Corporation II Trust, a discretionary charitable trust which includes all of the outstanding shares of BIFC Ltd.; and (vi) Independent Foundation for the Pursuit of Charitable Endeavors, Ltd., ("IFPCE"), a not-for-profit Cayman company, which possesses certain discretionary powers to direct Ansbacher's ultimate disposition of the shares of BIFC Ltd., relating to the Common Stock (as defined in the Schedule 13D). Unless otherwise indicated all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following (capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D): Subsequent to the Reporting Persons' determination to not pursue the acquisition of the shares of the Issuer not owned by BIG or the other Reporting Persons, representatives of BIG from time to time discussed generally with representatives of the Special Committee potential strategic alternatives for the Issuer, including the possibility of a sale of the Issuer, or the assets of the Issuer, to a third party. These discussions, while remaining preliminary in nature, included discussions as to the potential sales price that could be achieved in such transactions and the possible timing and probability of closing of such transactions, as well as the other potential terms on which any transaction between the Issuer and third parties might be consummated. Beginning in early July 2002, discussions between representatives of BIG and representatives of the Special Committee also included the possibility of a self-tender offer by the Issuer for the shares of the Issuer not owned by BIG or the other Reporting Persons (a "Self-Tender") or the declaration of a special dividend by the Issuer to its shareholders. The parties also discussed the possibility of the Issuer extending a loan to BIG in an amount between $5-10 million. Discussions between the Special Committee and BIG on July 12, 2002, focused specifically on the possibility of a Self-Tender. Representatives of BIG indicated that BIG had certain reservations, but engaged in further discussions with representatives of the Special Committee regarding the potential terms on which BIG might support a Self-Tender, which included discussions as to the offer price and the timing and probability of closing the Self-Tender. These discussions remained of a general, preliminary nature. By letter to the Special Committee dated July 16, 2002, (the "July 16 Letter"), BIG indicated its willingness to support a Self-Tender at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to (a) the Issuer providing a loan (the "Loan") to BIG in the amount of $7 million on the terms outlined in an annex to the July 16 Letter, (b) the Issuer entering into a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") with BIG providing for the Self-Tender and a second-step merger (the "Merger") of the Issuer with an indirect subsidiary of BIG on terms customary for transactions of that type, (c) appropriate board approvals of the Self-Tender, the Loan, the Merger Agreement and the Merger, based upon the advice of an independent financial advisor that such transactions are fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Issuer (other than the Reporting Persons), (d) acceptance of the Self-Tender by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Issuer not held by the Reporting Persons, (e) the receipt of appropriate regulatory approvals and (f) the other terms and conditions outlined in the July 16 Letter. The full text of the July 16 Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and hereby incorporated by reference herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their holdings in the Issuer on a continuing basis. As part of this ongoing review, the Reporting Persons have engaged, and may in the future engage, legal and financial advisors to assist them in such review and in evaluating strategic alternatives that are or may become available with respect to their holdings in the Issuer. In that connection, and depending upon, among other things, current and anticipated future trading prices for the Common Stock, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and its businesses, general economic, market and industry conditions, and the Reporting Persons' overall investment portfolio, strategic objectives and financial condition, the Reporting Persons may from time to time consider a number of possible strategies for enhancing the value of their investment in the Issuer, or other extraordinary matters relating to the Issuer, including, among other things, continued ownership of the shares of Common Stock currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons; acquiring additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; structuring a loan or loans secured by some or all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons; disposing of some or all of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by them; proposing or seeking to take control of the Issuer or otherwise to effect an extraordinary corporate transaction such as an acquisition, merger, recapitalization, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; or proposing or effecting any other transaction or matter that would constitute or result in any of the transactions, matters or effects enumerated in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. The review and the considerations noted above may lead to the taking of any of the actions set forth above or may lead the Reporting Persons to consider other alternatives. However, there can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will develop any plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing matters or take any particular action or actions with respect to some or all of their holdings in the Issuer, or as to the timing of any such matters should they be so pursued by the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, at any time and in each Reporting Person's sole discretion, to take any of the actions set forth above. Item 7.
