Introduction

 

                This Amendment No. 4 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 amends the Schedule 13E-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 25, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 30, 2007 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 filed on December 13, 2007 (“Amendment No. 2”), and Amendment No. 3 filed on December 21, 2007 (“Amendment No. 3” and together with Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the “Previous Amendments”) by Kaiser Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its offer to purchase for cash all shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), held by stockholders who owned of record or beneficially fewer than 100 shares as of the close of business on October 22, 2007 and who continue to hold such shares through the expiration of the offer, at a price of $29.80 per share, pursuant to the offer to purchase dated October 25, 2007 (as amended by the Previous Amendments, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related acceptance card (as amended by the Previous Amendments, the “Card”). Except as otherwise noted below, no changes have been made to the responses to the original Schedule 13E-3, as amended by the Previous Amendments.

 

                Items 1 through 15 of the Schedule 13E-3, which incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase and the Card, are hereby amended as follows:

 

1.             As of January 3, 2008, the Company has received tenders of approximately 6,005 shares of common stock from approximately 403 record and beneficial holders eligible to participate in the offer.

 

2.             The discussion of the analysis prepared by KAS Consulting in connection with the Company’s previously-contemplated reverse stock split transaction, set forth in the Offer to Purchase under the caption “Background of the Offer; Alternatives Considered by the Board of Directors — History of Previous Going-Private Considerations by the Board — Proposed Reverse Split” (appearing on pages 8 through 11 of Amendment No. 1, as amended and supplemented by the text appearing in numbered paragraphs 2 and 3 of Amendment No. 3), is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

 

The KAS Consulting analysis referenced herein, which was prepared in early 2005 in connection with the reverse stock split transaction under consideration by the Company at such time, was not considered by the Board of Directors in connection with the Offer.  The Board of Directors did not deem the KAS Consulting analysis relevant given the passage of time and believes such analysis is not materially related to this Offer.

 

3.             The information for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 under the caption “8. Price Range of Shares; Dividends” on page 29 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended to replace “27.00” with “26.01” and to remove the text “(through December 20, 2007)”. The table under such caption is further amended hereby to add the following information above the information presented for Fiscal 2007:
