Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment Number 17 to the Statement on Schedule 13D (as amended and supplemented prior to the date of this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Hyperion Brookfield Income Fund, Inc. (formerly the Hyperion Strategic Bond Fund, Inc.) (the “Issuer” or “Fund”) with its principal executive offices at c/o Hyperion Brookfield Asset Management, Inc., Three World Financial Center, 200 Vesey Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1010. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D and Exhibits filed with the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. Items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are hereby amended and supplemented as follows.

 

Page 5 of 15 Pages


 

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Amendment amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed on April 11, 2000 and is filed by GMAM Group Pension Trust III (the “GMAM III Trust”) and GMAM Group Pension Trust I (the “GMAM I Trust”, and together with the GMAM III Trust the “Trusts”), each a trust formed pursuant to the laws of the State of New York under and for the benefit of certain employee benefit plans (the “Plans”) of General Motors Company (successor to General Motors Corporation) (“GM”), a Delaware corporation engaged in automobile manufacturing; and Promark Investment Advisors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a General Motors Investment Management Corporation) (“Promark”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM which is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Promark’s principal business is providing investment advice and investment management services with respect to the assets of certain employee benefit plans of GM, its subsidiaries and unrelated employers, and with respect to the assets of certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of GM and associated entities. The Trusts and Promark are referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”

The business address of the Trusts is State Street Financial Center, One Lincoln Street/SFC-8, Boston, Massachusetts 02111-2900. The business address of Promark is 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153. The business address of GM is 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000.

Promark is serving as investment manager with respect to the Shares acquired by the Trusts. In that capacity, Promark has the power to direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee for the Trusts (the “Trustee”), as to voting and disposition of such Shares. Because of the Trustee’s limited role, beneficial ownership of such Shares by the Trustee is disclaimed.

Appendix A, which is incorporated herein by reference, sets forth the following information with respect to the executive officers and directors of each of GM and Promark: (i) name, (ii) business address, and (iii) present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or organization in which such employment is conducted. The Trusts have no executive officers or directors.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, GM or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons identified on Appendix A has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, GM or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons identified on Appendix A was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which such entity or person 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.

To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, each of GM’s executive officers and directors is a United States citizen. To the best knowledge of Promark, each of its executive officers and directors is a United States citizen.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On November 20, 2009, the Trusts sold a total of 17,800,000 Shares of the Fund to the Fund in the Fund’s tender offer at $0.70 per share, or $12,460,000. Pursuant to such tender offer, GMAM I Trust sold 3,531,025.89 Shares and GMAM III Trust sold 14,268,974.11 Shares.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The purpose of the acquisitions of Shares was to acquire an interest in a non-diversified closed-end management investment company whose investment objective is to provide high total return by investing in securities backed by real estate debt. The purpose of the disposition of the Shares by the Trusts in the Fund’s tender offer, which expired on November 20, 2009, was to liquidate a portion of their holdings in the Fund.

Except for proposed periodic acquisitions or dispositions of additional Shares by the Trusts, none of the Reporting Persons, GM or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person identified on Appendix A has any plans or proposals that would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in paragraph (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The various trusts established under the Plans invest in a variety of investment media, including publicly traded and privately placed securities. Such investments could include Shares and/or other securities of the Fund in addition to those referred to in this Statement (“Additional Securities”). The investment and voting decisions regarding any Additional Securities which might be owned by such trusts are made by the trustees thereof or unrelated investment managers, who, in so acting, act independently of the Reporting Persons (although the appointment of such investment managers is subject to authorization of and termination by Promark). No information regarding any such holdings by such trusts under the Plans is contained in this Statement.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)-(b) As of November 20, 2009, each of the GMAM III Trust, by virtue of its ownership of 31,890,087.39 Shares, representing 79.8% of the 39,959,886.18 Shares then issued and outstanding, and Promark, by virtue of its shared voting and dispositive power over such Shares, may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) all Shares the GMAM III Trust has and may acquire. As of November 20, 2009, each of the GMAM I Trust, by virtue of its ownership of 7,891,578.15 Shares, representing 19.7% of the 39,959,886.18 Shares then issued and outstanding, and Promark, by virtue of its shared voting and dispositive power over such Shares, may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) all Shares the GMAM I Trust has and may acquire. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the Reporting Persons expressly declare that the filing of this Amendment shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of §§13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Amendment.

 

Page 7 of 15 Pages


 

Neither GM nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons named in Appendix A own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) any Shares.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons, GM or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person named in Appendix A has effected any transactions in the Shares during the past 60 days other than as described in Item 3.

(d) Promark as the named fiduciary of the Plans with respect to investments has the authority to direct the Trustee to make payments from the Trusts (which may include dividends from or proceeds from the sale of Shares held by the Trusts) to other trusts under the Plans and to other persons.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Other than the subscription agreements previously filed as Exhibits with the Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference, there are no contracts, agreements, understandings, or relationships between GM, the GMAM I Trust, the GMAM III Trust, Promark or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any executive officer or director of GM or Promark and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
