Anschutz ("Anschutz") relates to shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Rentech Inc. (the "Company") and amends Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The information previously furnished in response to this Item is amended to add the following: On June 2, 2000, AIC assigned its interest in the 2004 Option Agreement to The Anschutz Foundation. As a result, all of AIC's rights under the 2004 Option Agreement to purchase shares of Common Stock were transferred to The Anschutz Foundation. The purpose of the assignment was for AIC to transfer part of its ownership in the Company to and for the benefit of The Anschutz Foundation. As a result of this transfer, the deemed beneficial ownership of AIC (and TAC, AC and Anschutz) is less than 5% of the Company and AIC, TAC, AC and Anschutz will no longer be required to file under Schedule 13D. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The information previously furnished in response to this Item is amended to read as follows: As of the date hereof, AIC is the record and beneficial owner of 938,750 shares of Common Stock and 1,877,500 Options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the 2001 Options. Because of an anti-dilution adjustment provision in the 2001 Option Agreement and based upon information provided by the Company, the original right to acquire 1,877,500 shares of Common Stock has since increased by 29,429 shares of Common Stock, such that the 2001 Option Agreement currently grants AIC the right to acquire a total of 1,906,929 shares of Common Stock. TAC, AC and Anschutz are the indirect beneficial owners of all such interests. Assuming exercise of all such Options, AIC is the direct beneficial owner (and TAC, AC and Anschutz the indirect beneficial owner) of 2,845,679 shares of Common Stock, which, based on calculations made in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and, as of June 2, 2000, there being 62,780,008 shares of Common Stock outstanding for the purposes of such calculations, represents approximately 4.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, including the shares AIC, TAC, AC and Anschutz have a right to acquire within 60 days.(1) ------------------ (1) This calculation utilizes the Company's statement that 60,873,079 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of April 5, 1999, as set forth in the Company's proxy statement for the annual meeting of shareholders on May 25, 2000, along with AIC's right to acquire 1,906,929 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2001 Option Agreement. Page 6 of 11 ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF ISSUER. The information previously furnished in response to this Item is amended to add the following: On June 2, 2000, AIC assigned its acquisition rights to the 938,750 of the 2004 Options to The Anschutz Foundation. The June 2, 2000, assignment letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated herein by reference. Given this assignment, the related rights under the Registration Rights Agreement as to the 2004 Options have likewise been transferred to The Anschutz Foundation as to 938,750 shares of Common Stock, leaving AIC with rights to purchase 1,877,500 shares of Common Stock under the 2001 Option Agreement. As indicated in Item 5 above, because of an anti-dilution adjustment since the original issuance of the 2001 Option Agreement, AIC's rights to purchase an additional 1,877,500 shares of Common Stock has increased by 29,429 shares such that AIC currently has the right to acquire a total of 1,906,929 shares of Common Stock under the 2001 Option Agreement.
