(d)-(e) During the last five years, neither TCWG, TCW, TAMCO, the Special Credits Entities, the Special Credits Account, Oaktree, the Real Estate Fund A, the Real Estate Fund B, the Oaktree Account, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their respective executive officers, directors and general partners (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); 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 proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities 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 Common Shares were acquired pursuant to a letter agreement dated November 2, 1998 wherein the holders of all of the Issuer's Preferred Shares agreed to exchange each Preferred Share for 1.0541145 Common Shares. Such transaction effectively accelerated the mandatory conversion of the Preferred Shares which was anticipated to occur in April 1999. There was no other consideration involved in the acquisition of the Common Shares. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. On November 2, 1998, the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities, Prudential Insurance Company of America ("PIC") and Gateway Recovery Trust ("Gateway", and together with PIC, the "PIC Entities") entered into a letter agreement with the Issuer in which the TCW Related Entities, the Oaktree Entities and the PIC Entities agreed to an accelerated conversion of the Preferred Shares into Common Shares. The exchange was consummated on November 18, 1998. As a result of the transaction, all of the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares and each holder of Preferred Shares received 1.0541145 Common Shares for each outstanding Preferred Share. The Issuer has indicated that it is evaluating the possibility of a plan of reorganization that would change the form of entity of the Issuer and its state of organization and reduce the number of shareholders of the Issuer. At such time as the Issuer proposes such a reorganization, the TCW Related Entities and the Oaktree Entities will also evaluate such a reorganization and may, depending upon the terms of such a transaction, vote their Common Shares to approve or disapprove such a transaction. The TCW Related Entities and the Oaktree Entities intend to review on a continuing basis their respective investments in the Common Shares and may, subject to the continuing evaluation of the factors discussed herein, acquire from time to time additional Common Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Depending on the factors discussed herein, each of the TCW Related Entities and the Oaktree Entities may, from time to time, retain or sell all or a portion of their respective holdings of the Common Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and such open market and privately negotiated purchases or sales may be made at any time without further prior notice. Any actions that the TCW Related Entities or the Oaktree Entities might undertake with respect to the Common Shares will be dependent upon their review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the availability of Common Shares for purchase and the price levels of such Common Shares, general market and economic conditions as well as those in the areas in which the Issuer's properties are located, ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, properties, operations and prospects, the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities, the actions of the management and the Board of Trustees of the Issuer, and other future developments. Each of the TCW Related Entities and the Oaktree Entities plan to continue to review various alternatives available to enhance the value of the Issuer and its assets and engage in discussions with other creditors and shareholders of the Issuer regarding such alternatives. Such review and discussions may result in a decision by the TCW Related Entities and/or the Oaktree Entities to pursue in cooperation with the Issuer and/or other creditors and shareholders of the Company one or more restructuring options.
