This Amendment No. 1. (this Amendment) is being filed by Frank Stronach (Mr. Stronach), the Stronach Trust, 445327 Ontario Limited (445), 446 Holdings Inc. (446), Company Bazovy Element LLC (BE), OJSC Russian Machines (RM), Veleron Holding B.V. (RM Sub), M Unicar Inc. (Newco), 2143453 Ontario Inc. (Newco I.5), 2143455 Ontario Inc. (Newco II), 447 Holdings Inc. (447), DW Holdco Inc. (Walker Holdco), SW Holdco Inc. (Wolf Holdco), VG Holdco Inc. (Galifi Holdco), PK Holdco Inc. (Koob Holdco) and JOP Holdco Inc. (Palmer Holdco; Palmer Holdco, together with Mr. Stronach, the Stronach Trust, 445, 446, 447, BE, RM, RM Sub, Newco, Newco I.5, Newco II, Walker Holdco, Wolf Holdco, Galifi Holdco and Koob Holdco, the Reporting Persons) and amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on October 1, 2007 by the Reporting Persons (the Statement).
As disclosed in the Statement, on September 20, 2007, pursuant to a plan of arrangement involving Magna International Inc. (the Company) and, among others, RM, RM Sub, the Stronach Trust, 445, 446 and each of Donald J. Walker, Siegfried Wolf, Vincent J. Galifi, Jeffrey O. Palmer and Peter Koob (such individuals, collectively, the Principals), Newco acquired beneficial ownership of:
| 726,829 Class B shares of the Company held by 447; |
| 605,000 Class A Subordinate Voting shares of the Company held among Walker Holdco, Wolf Holdco, Galifi Holdco, Koob Holdco and Palmer Holdco (collectively, the Newco I.5 Subs), each of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Newco I.5; and |
| 20 million Class A Subordinate Voting shares of the Company (the Newco II Class A Shares) purchased by Newco II. |
The acquisition of the Newco II Class A Shares was funded by RM Sub using the proceeds of a loan provided pursuant to a Credit Agreement (attached as Exhibit C to the Statement) among RM Sub, BNP Paribas SA, as agent (BNP), and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement). The Newco II Class A Shares were pledged as security for the loan made to RM Sub pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
This Amendment is being filed to report the delivery by BNP, on October 2, 2008, of a notice to RM Sub accelerating all obligations of RM Sub then due under the Credit Agreement and informing RM Sub of the exercise by BNP of its rights as a secured party under the Credit Agreement with respect to the collateral (including the Newco II Class A Shares) securing such obligations. Such actions taken by BNP constitute a Realization Event under the Exit Agreement attached as Exhibit D to the Statement (the Realization Event). As a result of the actions taken by BNP and the triggering of the Realization Event:
| BNP has enforced its security interests in the Newco II Class A Shares. These shares are no longer held or controlled by Newco II and have been disposed of by BNP in its discretion; |
| the Investors Agreement (attached as Exhibit C to the Statement) dated as of September 20, 2007 between 446 and RM Sub, which governed the management of Newco (a holding company formed to hold shares of the Company owned by the Stronach Trust, RM Sub and the Principals), the composition of Newcos board of directors and the voting of the Class A Subordinate Voting shares and Class B shares of the Company beneficially owned by Newco, has terminated; |
18
| the Newco II Unanimous Shareholders Agreement (attached as Exhibit D to the Statement) among 446, RM Sub, MPMAG Holdings Inc. (Principals Holdco), Newco, Newco I.5 and Newco II has terminated; and |
| a series of other transactions and events described in the Exit Agreement and the other transaction documents entered into in connection therewith have occurred or are required to occur (some, at the option of entities controlled by the Stronach Trust), the aggregate effect of which is to essentially separate BE, RM and RM Sub from the Company. |
Newco continues to be indirectly controlled by the Stronach Trust (with a 92.4% voting interest) and a minority interest in the share capital of Newco continues to be held indirectly by the Principals (with a 7.6% voting interest).
