This Amendment No. 9 reflects the consummation of the transaction previously disclosed, pursuant to which the undersigned have acquired ownership of all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 9 constitutes the Final Amendment to the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The following amendment to Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made. ITEM 3. SOURCE OF FUNDS. Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the final paragraph thereof and adding the following: Funding for the Merger was provided from Lyonnaise internal resources and existing bank facilities, the proceeds of which were provided to LAH. The following amendment to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following: On July 27, 2000, the Issuer, LAH, Lyonnaise and LAH Acquisition Co. (the "Merger Subsidiary") consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 20, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement"), including filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of New Jersey in accordance with which the Merger Subsidiary merged with and into the Issuer. Upon consummation of the Merger, (i) each share of the Common Stock not held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, LAH, Lyonnaise or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries (and all associated rights under the Issuer's Rights Plan) were Page 4 of 6 automatically converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash, and (ii) each share of 5% Series A Convertible Preference Stock of the Issuer not held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer, LAH, Lyonnaise or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries was canceled and converted into the right to receive $35.00 in cash multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preference Stock was convertible immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. In addition, the Issuer declared, effective as of and subject to the effectiveness of the Merger, and LAH funded (i) a special dividend equal to 30 cents per share of Common Stock and (ii) a stub period dividend equal to a pro rata share of the Issuer's regular quarterly dividend accrued from the prior dividend record date of May 15, 2000, through the date on which the Merger occurred. As a result of the merger and the transactions consummated in connection therewith, the Issuer has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of LAH. Accordingly, the listing of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange and the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are being terminated. Promptly after consummation of the Merger, LAH and Lyonnaise replaced the existing board of directors of the Issuer with new directors selected by LAH, including some of the prior directors of the Issuer.
