CUSIP NO. 810022103, 810022202 SCHEDULE 13D Page 8 of 11 This Amendment No. 5 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on December 3, 1998 by Stinson Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership ("Stinson"); the Carpenters Pension Trust for Southern California (the "Carpenters Trust"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P., a California limited partnership ("RCBA L.P."); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); RCBA GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("RCBA GP"), and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a managing member of RCBA GP. This Amendment No. 5 relates to shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.10 and shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.10 (collectively, the "Common Stock"), of Scott Technologies, Inc. (formerly Figgie International, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 5875 Landerbrook Drive, Mayfield Heights, Ohio 44124. The following amendment to Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer - --------------------------------------------- Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows: (a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Proxy Statement, dated November 10, 1998, there were 13,321,065 shares of Class A Common Stock and 4,549,822 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 30, 1998. Based on such information, the Reporting Persons report the following direct holdings and corresponding percentage interests in the Common Stock: (i) RCBA Inc. and RCBA L.P. report holdings of 324,955 (2.4%) shares of Class A Common Stock and 383,571 (8.4%) shares of Class B Common Stock on behalf of the limited partnerships for which RCBA L.P. serves as the general partner and certain of RCBA L.P.'s investment advisory clients; (ii) Stinson reports holdings of 423,206 (3.2%) shares of Class A Common Stock and 436,100 (9.6%) shares of Class B Common Stock; (iii) Carpenters Trust reports holdings of 493,282 (3.7%) shares of Class A Common Stock and 643,027 (14.1%) shares of Class B Common Stock; (iv) RCBA GP reports holdings of 274,430 shares of Class A Common Stock (2.1%) and 22,800 (0.5%) of Class B Common Stock on behalf of the limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner; and (v) Mr. Blum reports the aggregate of these shares for a total of 1,515,873 (11.4%) shares of the Class A Common Stock and 1,485,498 (32.6%) shares of the Class B Common Stock. In addition, because RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power with respect to 181,170 shares of Class A Common Stock and 160,735 shares of Class B Common Stock that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the account of its Equity Fund ("The Common Fund"), those shares are reported as beneficially owned by RCBA L.P. The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of managing investments for educational institutions. The principal administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 450 Post Road East, Westport, Connecticut 06881-0909. The Common Fund disclaims membership in a group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Reporting Persons. CUSIP NO. 810022103, 810022202 SCHEDULE 13D Page 9 of 11 Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by RCBA L.P and RCBA GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,697,043 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,646,233 shares of Class B Common Stock, which is 12.7% and 36.2%, respectively, of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of RCBA L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power. As Chairman and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. Additionally, Mr. Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities over which RCBA GP has voting and investment power. Although Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc., or managing members and members of RCBA GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. or RCBA GP, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. (c) Since the Schedule 13D filing, the Reporting Persons purchased the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Trade Date Class Shares Price per Share ---------- ------- ------- --------------- Stinson: 12/03/98 Class B 33,700 14.75 12/09/98 Class A 8,800 14.75 12/11/98 Class A 58,200 14.75 Carpenters Trust: 12/03/98 Class B 54,100 14.75 12/09/98 Class A 14,000 14.75 12/11/98 Class A 93,300 14.75 Limited partnerships for which RCBA L.P. serves as the general partner and its investment advisory clients: 12/03/98 Class B 32,300 14.75 12/09/98 Class A 8,400 14.75 12/11/98 Class A 55,700 14.75 Limited partnership for which RCBA GP serves as the general partner: 12/03/98 Class B 22,800 14.75 (d) and (e) Not applicable.
