* SEE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE FILLING OUT! INCLUDE BOTH SIDES OF THE COVER PAGE, RESPONSES TO ITEMS 1-7 (INCLUDING EXHIBITS) OF THE SCHEDULE, AND THE SIGNATURE ATTESTATION. -2- 3 ITEM 1 SECURITY AND ISSUER This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Huttig Building Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office of the Issuer is located at 14500 South Outer Forty Road, Suite 400, Chesterfield, MO 63017. ITEM 2 IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND The Statement is being filed by RMC Group p.l.c. ("RMC"), a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 249776. RMC is in the business of producing ready mixed concrete and, in addition, has major positions in the production of aggregates, concrete products and cement. The principal office of RMC is located at RMC House, Coldharbour Lane, Thorpe, Egham, Surrey TW20 8TD, United Kingdom. The information required for item 2(a)-(c) and (f) for the executive officers and directors of RMC is set forth in Exhibit A to this Statement. During the last five years, neither RMC, nor, to the best of its knowledge, any person listed on Exhibit A hereto (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanours) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, U.S. federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. ITEM 3 SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION RMC did not use any funds or pay any consideration to acquire an interest in the Common Stock. ITEM 4 PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION RMC acquired its beneficial interest in the Common Stock of the Issuer through the shareholding that RMC has in The Rugby Group PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 206971 ("Rugby"). RMC has been advised by Rugby that pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of October 19, 1999, among Rugby, Crane Co., a Delaware corporation ("Crane"), and the Issuer, the Issuer was spun off to Crane's stockholders as a new public company that is now known as "Huttig Building Products, Inc." After the spin-off, Rugby contributed to the Issuer all of the shares of Rugby USA, Inc., a Georgia corporation and Rugby's wholly-owned subsidiary ("Rugby USA"), in exchange for approximately 32% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. In connection with this exchange, the Issuer made a cash payment to Rugby of $32 million in respect of indebtedness owed by Rugby USA to Rugby. Except as set forth below, RMC does not have any plans or proposals which relate or would result in any of the actions or transaction specified in clauses (a) through (j) of item 4 of Schedule 13D. -3- 4 ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) As of the date hereof, RMC indirectly beneficially owns 6,546,424 shares of the Common Stock or 32% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer. The persons named in Exhibit A to this Statement, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock, but such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the persons in Exhibit A to this Statement is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock owned by any other persons named in Item 2 above or Exhibit A to this Statement for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose . (b) RMC shares with Rugby the power to vote or to direct the vote and the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 6,546,424 shares of the Common Stock. As of the date hereof, Rugby beneficially owns 6,546,424 shares of the Common Stock or 32% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer, as more fully described in the Schedule 13D filed by Rugby with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 1999. On November 8, 1999, the directors of Rugby unanimously recommended to Rugby shareholders to accept a cash offer to be made by RMC for all of the issued and to be issued share capital of Rugby (the "RMC Offer"). On November 17, 1999 the RMC Offer was made to the shareholders of Rugby. As of the date hereof, RMC owns approximately 29.9% of the outstanding shares of Rugby. In addition, RMC has received valid acceptances in respect of the RMC Offer for approximately an additional 57% of the outstanding shares of Rugby. RMC will not acquire shares of Rugby in respect of such valid acceptances unless the RMC Offer is declared wholly unconditional in accordance with the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers in the United Kingdom. Of the shares of Rugby in respect of which RMC has received valid acceptances, approximately 7.37% is owned by Rugby shareholders who have undertaken to RMC to accept the RMC Offer. However, because certain conditions to the RMC Offer are outstanding, including pending regulatory approvals in the United States and Poland, RMC does not expect to be able to complete its acquisition of Rugby until early 2000. Rugby is a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales with registered number 206971. The business address of Rugby is Crown House, Rugby, CV21 2DT, United Kingdom. The principal business of Rugby is the cement and lime business. Rugby has not during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). Rugby has not during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, U.S. federal or sate securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. The information required by items 2(a)-(c) and (f) as required under Item 5 for persons referenced in paragraph (a) of Item 5 is set forth in Exhibit B to this Statement. (c) Other than the transactions described in Item 4 and Item 5 of this Statement, neither RMC, nor, to the best of its knowledge, any person listed in Exhibit A to this Statement have acquired any shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days. (d) None. -4- 5 (e) Not Applicable. ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
