Items 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby
amended and supplemented as follows:
Item 2. Identity and Background.
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding
the following paragraph:
As described in Item 4 below, CBRE Holding, Inc., a
Delaware corporation formerly known as BLUM CB Holding Corp.
("Holding"), and its subsidiary Newco entered into an
Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger with the
Issuer dated as of May 31, 2001 (as amended, the
"Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit 1), pursuant to
which, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Newco,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Holding, would be merged with
and into the Issuer (the "CBRE Merger"), and holders of
Common Stock (other than certain holders described in Item 4
below) would receive consideration of $16.00 per share in
cash (the "CBRE Merger Consideration") in exchange for their
shares.
Item 3. Source of Funds and Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding
the following paragraphs:
In connection with the Agreement, Holding has entered
into an Amended and Restated Contribution and Voting
Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2001 (as amended, the
"Contribution Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit 2),
with Newco, Strategic, FSEP III, FSEP International, Koll
Holding, Malek, Wirta and the Reporting Person in order to
provide a portion of the capital necessary to fund the
Agreement. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, each of
Strategic, FSEP III, FSEP International, Koll Holding,
Malek, Wirta and the Reporting Person have agreed to
contribute all of the Common Stock that they beneficially
own to Holding immediately prior to the closing of the CBRE
Merger. Such shares of Common Stock will be cancelled at
the effective time of the CBRE Merger. In addition,
concurrent with such contributions of Common Stock to
Holding, Strategic has agreed to contribute to Holding
between $40.9 million and $96.2 million of cash (as
determined by Holding no less than twelve business days
prior to the closing of the transaction contemplated by the
Contribution Agreement).
In addition to the financing discussed above with
respect to the Contribution Agreement, Newco entered into a
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2001 (the "Purchase
Agreement") (attached hereto as Exhibit 10), with Credit
Suisse First Boston ("CSFB") and the other parties thereto
(together with CSFB in such capacity, the "Initial
Purchasers"), pursuant to which Newco has agreed to issue
and sell, and the Initial Purchasers have agreed to
purchase, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth therein, $229,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 (the "Senior
Subordinated Notes") of Newco. The completion of the
issuance and sale of the Senior Subordinated Notes is
scheduled to occur on June 7, 2001 and is subject to certain
customary conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement.
In the event that the issuance and sale of the Senior
Subordinated Notes is completed, the Initial Purchasers will
purchase the Senior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate
purchase price of $225,629,000, which proceeds will be
deposited in an escrow account. If the CBRE Merger is not
completed prior to the 75th day after the initial issuance
of the Senior Subordinated Notes or the Agreement is
terminated prior to the completion of the CBRE Merger, then
Newco will be required to redeem the Senior Subordinated
Notes for cash. If the CBRE Merger is completed within 75
days after the completion of the initial issuance of the
Senior Subordinated Notes, the Issuer will assume all of the
obligations of Newco under the Senior Subordinated Notes.
This Schedule 13D shall not constitute an offer to sell
or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor
shall there be any sale of the securities in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful. The Senior Subordinated Notes to be offered
and sold will not be registered under the Securities Act,
and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.
In addition to the financing discussed above with
respect to the Contribution Agreement, CSFB provided Newco
with a Commitment Letter on February 23, 2001, which was
amended on May 31, 2001 (as amended, the "CSFB Commitment
Letter") (attached hereto as Exhibits 5 and 11) and DLJ
Investment Funding, Inc. ("DLJ") has provided Holding with a
Commitment Letter on February 23, 2001, which was amended on
May 31, 2001 (as amended, the "DLJ Commitment Letter" and
together, the "Commitment Letters") (attached hereto as
Exhibits 6 and 12), each with respect to certain debt
financing contemplated by the Agreement. Subject to the
terms and conditions of the CSFB Commitment Letter, CSFB has
committed to provide to Newco at least $225 million of term
loan debt financing (subject to reduction as provided in the
CSFB Commitment Letter, the "Term Loans") and a $100 million
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Loan"). Subject
to the terms and conditions of the DLJ Commitment Letter,
DLJ has committed to purchase from Holding at least $65
million of 16% Senior Notes of Holding, together with common
stock of Holding representing 3.0% of Holding's total common
stock including any options granted by Holding to management
of Holding and the Issuer (the "Mezzanine Financing", and
together with the Term Loans and the Revolving Loan, the
"Financings"). The Commitment Letters have been obtained,
subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to pay,
together with the proceeds received pursuant to the
Contribution Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, the
aggregate CBRE Merger Consideration pursuant to the CBRE
Merger, to refinance indebtedness of the Issuer that will
become due as a result of the transactions contemplated by
the Agreement, to pay all related fees and expenses and to
provide additional financing for future working capital and
general corporate needs of the Issuer and its subsidiaries.
CSFB's and DLJ's commitments to provide the Financings are
subject to execution of definitive agreements with respect
thereto and other conditions as set forth in the applicable
Commitment Letters.
