Security and Issuer. - ------- ------------------- This statement relates to the Common Stock, no par value, of Real Goods Trading Corporation, a California corporation, (the "Company") and amends the original filing by Whole Foods Market, Inc. ("WFM") on Schedule 13D relating to the purchase of 800,000 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock of the Company on September 23, 1999. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Issuer. - ------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subsequent to September 23, 1999, WFM transferred all of the Shares to Whole Investments, Inc. ("WHI"), an indirect subsidiary of WFM. During June 2000, WHI's parent company contributed various assets and issued a promissory note in the original principal amount of $3.0 million (the "Note"), payable in installments during 2000, to a newly formed subsidiary, WP Internet Company. On June 30, WP Internet Company merged with and into a subsidiary of Gaiam.com, Inc. ("Gaiam.com"), a company which is not otherwise affiliated with WFM and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the holder of the Note (now Gaiam.com) may elect to receive all (and not less than all of) the Shares in full payment of the final $2.0 million principal amount of the Note. To the extent that Gaiam.com elects to exercise such right, it will become the record owner of the Shares, and WFM and its subsidiaries will no longer have any remaining beneficial ownership of the Shares. Effective June 30, 2000, WFM's designee to the Company's board of directors (Rich Cundiff) resigned as a director of the Company. Signature After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct. Whole Foods Market, Inc.
