Item 1 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 3 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended (the Schedule 13D),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2000 by Duchossois Industries,
Inc., an Illinois corporation, and Richard L. Duchossois. This Amendment No. 3 relates to
shares of Common Stock, no par value per share (the Common Stock), of Churchill Downs
Incorporated, a Kentucky corporation (the Issuer). The principal executive office and mailing
address of the Issuer is 700 Central Avenue, Louisville, Kentucky 40208.
The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made by this Amendment No. 3. Unless
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the
Schedule 13D.
Item 2 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Item 2. Identity and Background
This Amendment No. 3 is being filed by (i) Duchossois Industries, Inc., an Illinois
corporation (DII), (ii) Richard L. Duchossois; and (iii) 845 Larch Acquisition Corp LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (845 Larch) (collectively, the Reporting Persons). DII,
through its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture of commercial and consumer access control
devices and precision-machined metal products, and operates entertainment venues. 845 Larch is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of DII. The address of DIIs and 845 Larchs principal business and
principal office is 845 Larch Avenue, Elmhurst, Illinois 60126. Appendix A and Appendix B hereto,
which are incorporated herein by this reference, set forth the name, business address, present
principal occupation or employment (and the name, principal business and address of any corporation
or other organization in which such employment is conducted) and the citizenship of the directors,
managers, executive officers and control persons of DII and 845 Larch, respectively.
Richard L. Duchossois is principally employed as the Chairman of DII. His business address is
845 Larch Avenue, Elmhurst, Illinois 60126. He is a citizen of the United States.
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best knowledge of each
of them, none of the persons listed on Appendix A or Appendix B attached hereto, has been (i)
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii)
a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and
as a result of such proceeding 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.
Item 3 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
|
|
|
Item 3. |
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The response to Item 6 is incorporated herein by this reference.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 23, 2000,
as amended as of July 14, 2000 (the Merger Agreement), among the Issuer, DII, A. Acquisition
Corp., an Illinois corporation, A. Management Acquisition Corp., an Illinois corporation, T. Club
Acquisition
5
Corp., an Illinois corporation (A. Acquisition Corp., A. Management Acquisition Corp., and T.
Club Acquisition Corp. being collectively referred to as the Merger Companies), Arlington
International Racecourse, Inc., an Illinois corporation, Arlington Management Services, Inc., an
Illinois corporation, and Turf Club of Illinois, Inc., an Illinois corporation (Arlington
International Racecourse, Inc., Arlington Management Services, Inc. and Turf Club of Illinois, Inc.
each formerly being a wholly-owned subsidiary of DII and being collectively referred to as the
Acquired Companies), on September 8, 2000, the Issuer acquired certain subsidiaries of DII, and
DII acquired 3,150,000 shares of Common Stock.
The source of funds for the additional purchases of shares of Common Stock described in Item 4
will be the working capital of DII.
Item 4 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
|
|
|
Item 4. |
|
Purpose of Transaction. |
The response to Item 6 is incorporated herein by this reference.
The purpose of the transaction is for DII to increase its investment in the horse racing
industry through the ownership of additional shares of Common Stock. The Stockholders Agreement
(as defined below) provides that DII may purchase, in the open market or privately negotiated
transactions, up to an aggregate number of shares of Voting Securities (as defined in the
Stockholders Agreement) which, when added to the shares of Voting Securities owned by DII and its
Affiliates (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), would result in DII and its Affiliates
owning no more than 31% of the then outstanding shares of Voting Securities (the Threshold
Percentage). Furthermore, if the Issuer issues additional Voting Securities (other than pursuant
to certain benefit and employee ownership plans, outstanding warrants, options and similar rights
to purchase equity securities, stock distributions made to holders of Common Stock generally or a
merger or acquisition of substantially all of the assets of an operating business), DII has the
right to purchase up to the number of shares of Voting Securities necessary to retain its
pre-existing ownership percentage of the Issuer.
On September 4, 2007, DII filed a Notification and Report Form (the September 2007 HSR
Notification) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR
Act), with respect to the intended acquisition by DII of additional shares of Common Stock that
could result in the aggregate value of all shares of Common Stock held by DII exceeding $119.6
million but being less than $597.9 million. The waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to
any such acquisition of Common Stock was terminated on September 14, 2007. As a result, DII may
acquire additional shares of Common Stock that result in the aggregate value of all shares of
Common Stock held by DII after such acquisitions exceeding $119.6 million but being less than
$597.9 million. With respect to each of the foregoing sentences of this paragraph, any such value
would be determined pursuant to the HSR Act by using the lowest closing quotation or closing bid
price during the 45 calendar days immediately prior to September 4, 2007. DIIs acquisition of
additional shares of Common Stock would not, when added to the shares currently held by DII and
its Affiliates, exceed the Threshold Percentage.
As a result of the termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect
to the September 2007 HSR Notification, and subject to the terms and conditions of the
Stockholders Agreement between the Issuer and DII, dated as of September 8, 2000 (the
Stockholders Agreement), each as described above, the Reporting Persons may periodically acquire
additional shares of Common Stock up to the Threshold Percentage. The Stockholders Agreement
restricts DII and its Affiliates from owning more than 31% of the Voting Securities of the Issuer.
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock would be for investment, and any such
acquisitions of the Common Stock would be made in the ordinary course of business and not for the
purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.
6
DII is entitled under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to nominate three persons to
serve on the Issuers board of directors. As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Richard L.
Duchossois, Craig J. Duchossois and Robert L. Fealy serve as directors of the Issuer. Consistent
with its investment purpose, DII and its Affiliates may discuss the prospects and affairs of the
Issuer, and the status of DIIs investment in the Issuer at any time and from time to time, with
the board of directors of the Issuer or any of the Issuers subsidiaries or the executive officers
of the Issuer or the Issuers subsidiaries. DII and its Affiliates may discuss ideas that, if
effected, could result in a corporate transaction involving the Issuer, changes in the board of
directors or management of the Issuer, or other matters, subject, in each case, to the terms and
conditions of the Stockholders Agreement. See Item 6. DII currently has no agreements which
would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4 (a) (j) of
Schedule 13D, other than as disclosed herein. However, DII expects its evaluation of this
investment and investment alternatives to be ongoing.
Other than the September 2007 HSR Notification and subsequent termination of the applicable
waiting period under the HSR Act described above, no Reporting Person has any specific plan or
proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, although consistent with its investment
purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common
Stock up to the Threshold Percentage or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock, in each case in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, depending upon an ongoing
evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment
opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment
considerations.
The foregoing response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger
Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, which are incorporated herein by this reference. The
Merger Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement were filed as Exhibits 2 and 5 to the Schedule 13D
dated July 3, 2000, respectively.
Item 5 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
|
|
|
Item 5. |
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
The response to Item 6 is incorporated herein by this reference.
For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), DII beneficially owns, and has sole voting and disposition power of,
3,150,000 shares of Common Stock (the DII Shares). Based on a total of 13,672,050 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Schedule 13D (the Outstanding Shares), for
purposes of Rule 13d-3, DII beneficially owns approximately 23.0% of the Outstanding Shares.
Following the date of this Schedule 13D, 845 Larch also may acquire shares of Common Stock
(the 845 Larch Shares).
Richard L. Duchossois beneficially owns, and has sole voting and disposition power of, 15,000
shares of Common Stock. By virtue of his position as a director and executive officer, and his
ability to direct the voting and investment decisions, of DII and 845 Larch, Mr. Duchossois, for
purposes of Rule 13d-3, may be deemed to beneficially own the DII Shares and the 845 Larch Shares.
Mr. Duchossois shares voting and disposition power with respect to these shares of Common Stock
with the persons set forth on Appendix A and Appendix B to this Schedule 13D, which are
incorporated herein by this reference. The DII Shares, when aggregated with the 15,000 shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Duchossois, results in Mr. Duchossois being deemed to
beneficially own 3,165,000 shares of
7
Common Stock, or approximately 23.1% of the Outstanding Shares. Mr. Duchossois disclaims
beneficial ownership of the DII Shares.
In addition, by virtue of their position as directors of the Issuer, Richard L. Duchossois,
Craig J. Duchossois and Robert L. Fealy are entitled to defer receipt of all or part of their
retainer and meeting fees in a deferred share account, pursuant to the Issuers 2005 Deferred
Compensation Plan, until after their service on the board of directors of the Issuer has ended.
This account allows each director of the Issuer, in effect, to invest his or her deferred cash
compensation in Common Stock. Funds in this account are credited as hypothetical shares of Common
Stock based on the market price of the stock at the time the compensation would otherwise have been
earned. Hypothetical dividends are reinvested in additional shares based on the market price of
the stock on the date dividends are paid. All shares in the deferred share accounts are
hypothetical and are not issued or transferred until the director ends his or her service on the
board of directors of the Issuer. Upon the end of service, the shares are issued or transferred to
the director. As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Richard L. Duchossois had 360.94 deferred
shares (the Richard L. Duchossois Deferred Shares) in the deferred share account, Robert L. Fealy
had 1,896.71 deferred shares (the Robert L. Fealy Deferred Shares) in the deferred share account,
and Craig J. Duchossois had no deferred shares in the deferred share account. Neither the Richard
L. Duchossois Deferred Shares nor the Robert L. Fealy Deferred Shares are included in the
calculation of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, and such deferred shares
shall not be included with any additional purchases of Common Stock for purposes of determining
whether or not the Reporting Persons have exceeded the Threshold Percentage.
Except as disclosed herein, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in
shares of Common Stock during the preceding 60 days.
Item 6 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
|
|
|
Item 6. |
|
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
The following response to this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger
Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2 and 5 hereto,
respectively, and incorporated herein by this reference.
Stockholders Agreement
On September 8, 2000, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, the Issuer and DII entered into the Stockholders Agreement.
Purchase of Additional Common Stock and Certain Issuances
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, DII has agreed that, except in connection with the
Merger Agreement, pursuant to certain distributions made available to holders of Common Stock
generally, pursuant to director stock option and similar plans, or as otherwise specifically
permitted by the Stockholders Agreement, DII will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to,
acquire any Voting Securities of the Issuer. In addition, DII has agreed not to take certain
actions (such as merge with or acquire another entity) if those actions would result in the
surviving corporation and its Affiliates and controlling persons beneficially owning more equity
securities of the Issuer than DII is permitted to own under the Stockholders Agreement immediately
before taking such action.
8
The Stockholders Agreement provides that DII may purchase, in the open market or privately
negotiated transactions, up to an aggregate number of shares of Voting Securities which, when added
to the shares of Voting Securities owned by DII and its Affiliates, would result in DII and its
Affiliates owning no more than 31% of the then outstanding shares of Voting Securities.
Furthermore, if the Issuer issues additional Voting Securities (other than pursuant to certain
benefit and employee ownership plans, outstanding warrants, options and similar rights to purchase
equity securities, stock distributions made to holders of Common Stock generally or a merger or
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of an operating business), DII has the right to
purchase up to the number of shares of Voting Securities necessary to retain its pre-existing
ownership percentage of the Issuer.
The Issuer has agreed not to issue Voting Securities having voting rights disproportionately
greater than the equity investment in the Issuer represented by such Voting Securities.
Restriction on Transfer and Registration Rights
DII has agreed not to make certain distributions to its shareholders if the distribution would
result in a person and such persons Affiliates and controlling persons beneficially owning 5% or
more of the total outstanding equity securities of the Issuer unless such persons agree to be bound
by the Stockholders Agreement. DII may make transfers at any time (i) if approved by the Issuers
board of directors, (ii) to certain of its direct or indirect equity owners or Affiliates if such
person agrees to be bound by the Stockholders Agreement, (iii) in connection with certain mergers,
consolidations and combinations if the surviving person and its Affiliates and controlling persons
would not beneficially own more equity securities of the Issuer than DII would be permitted to own
immediately prior to such transaction and, if the surviving person is not DII, the surviving person
and its Affiliates agree to be bound by the Stockholders Agreement, (iv) in connection with
certain liquidations, dissolutions or other distributions, subject to each distributee and each of
its Affiliates and controlling persons not owning more than 5% of the outstanding equity securities
of the Issuer or agreeing to be bound by the Stockholders Agreement, and (v) pursuant to certain
tender or exchange offers with respect to which the Issuer does not recommend rejection.
Additionally, DII generally may pledge its securities to a financial institution in connection with
a loan so long as the pledgee agrees in writing that upon transfer of the securities to the pledgee
upon any foreclosure, the securities will remain, and the pledgee will become, subject to the
restrictions contained in the Stockholders Agreement.
After the fifth anniversary of the Stockholders Agreement, subject to certain limitations,
DII may make transfers pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), or private placements.
After the seventh anniversary of the Stockholders Agreement, DII has the right to transfer
its securities in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act in accordance with the
terms for registrations rights contained in the Stockholders Agreement. DII has, subject to
certain conditions, both demand and piggyback registration rights.
In most instances, prior to a sale of securities of the Issuer, DII must offer the securities
to the Issuer or the directors of the Issuer for purchase on terms similar to that under which DII
would otherwise sell the securities.
Taking of Certain Actions
During the term of the Stockholders Agreement, except upon the prior written invitation of
the Issuer, DII may not, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries or otherwise,
and will cause each of its Affiliates not to, singly or as part of a partnership, limited
partnership, syndicate or other group:
9
(i) make, or in any way participate in, any solicitation of proxies (as such terms are
defined or used in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) with respect to any Voting Securities
(including by the execution of actions by written consent), become a participant in any election
contest (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) with respect
to the Issuer or seek to advise, encourage or influence any person or entity with respect to the
voting of any Voting Securities. However, DII is not prevented from being a participant in
support of the management of the Issuer, by reason of the membership of DIIs designees on the
Issuers board of directors or the inclusion of DIIs designees on the slate of nominees for
election to the board of directors proposed by the Issuer;
(ii) initiate, propose or otherwise solicit, or participate in the solicitation of,
stockholders for the approval of one or more stockholder proposals with respect to the Issuer as
described in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or knowingly induce any other individual or entity
to initiate any stockholder proposal relating to the Issuer;
(iii) form, join or in any way participate in a group, act in concert with any other person
or entity or otherwise take any action or actions which would cause it to be deemed a person (for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) (other than to the extent it is a person at the
time of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Stockholders
Agreement), with respect to acquiring, disposing of or voting any Voting Securities of the Issuer;
(iv) participate in or encourage the formation of any group which owns or seeks or offers to
acquire beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer or rights to acquire such securities or
which seeks or offers to affect control of the Issuer or for the purpose of circumventing any
provision of the Stockholders Agreement;
(v) solicit, seek or offer to effect, negotiate with or provide any information to any party
(other than any shareholder, partner, member or other equity holder, or any Affiliate, of DII, or
any beneficiary or settlor of DII that is a trust) with respect to, make any statement or proposal,
whether written or oral, either alone or in concert with others, to the board of directors of the
Issuer, to any director or officer of the Issuer or to any other stockholder of the Issuer with
respect to, or otherwise formulate any plan or proposal or make any public announcement, proposal,
offer or filing under the Exchange Act, any similar or successor statute or otherwise, or take
action to cause the Issuer to make any such filing, with respect to: (A) any form of business
combination or transaction involving the Issuer or any Affiliate thereof, including, without
limitation, a merger, exchange offer or liquidation of the Issuers assets, (B) any form of
restructuring, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the Issuer or any Affiliate
thereof, including, without limitation, a merger, exchange offer or liquidation of the Issuers
assets, (C) any acquisition or disposition of assets material to the Issuer, (D) any request to
amend, waive or terminate the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement or (E) any proposal or
other statement inconsistent with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. DII and its Affiliates
may, however, discuss the affairs and prospects of the Issuer, the status of DIIs investment in
the Issuer at any time, and from time to time, with the board of directors of the Issuer or any
director or executive officer of the Issuer or any director or executive officer of any subsidiary
of the Issuer and DII, its Affiliates and any shareholder, partner, member or other equity holder
of DII, or any beneficiary or settlor of DII that is a trust, may discuss any matter, including any
of the foregoing, with or among each other, or with its outside legal and financial advisors, if as
a result of any such discussions DII is not required to make, and does not make, any public
announcement or filing under the Exchange Act otherwise prohibited by this Agreement as a result
thereof;
10
(vi) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others (including by providing financing for
another party), to seek or offer to control or influence, in any manner, the management, board of
directors or policies of the Issuer. DIIs designees on the board of directors of the Issuer may,
however, participate in, or otherwise seek to affect the outcome of, discussions and votes of the
board of directors of the Issuer with respect to matters coming before it; or
(vii) knowingly instigate or encourage any third party to take any of the foregoing actions.
Agreement To Vote
Unless otherwise specifically permitted by the Stockholders Agreement, Voting Securities
beneficially owned by DII and its Affiliates are to be voted as recommended by the Issuers board
of directors. Specific exceptions to this include certain strategic transactions initiated by the
Issuers board of directors (for which DII may vote its shares in its sole discretion), including
(i) any disposition of the Issuer by way of merger, sale of assets or otherwise; (ii) any
recapitalization of the Issuer including any leveraged buyout of the Issuer or similar
going-private transaction; (iii) any liquidation or consolidation of the Issuer; (iv) any increase
in the number of authorized shares of the Issuer; or (v) any transaction that could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on DIIs investment, such as an issuance of Voting
Securities that would require approval by the shareholders of the Issuer pursuant to the rules of
the exchange on which the Issuers securities are listed.
Board of Directors and Board Committees
DII has the right to designate three individuals to be nominated to the Issuers board of
directors. DII has designated Richard L. Duchossois, Craig J. Duchossois and Robert L. Fealy as its
nominees. The number of DII designees can be increased or decreased if the percentage of Voting
Securities owned by DII changes, although if there are no more than 16 directors, the number of DII
designees is not to exceed four. Additionally, DII can designate one individual to be appointed to
the Executive Committee and the Compensation Committee.
Term
The Stockholders Agreement will be effective from ten to thirty years, depending upon the
percentage of Voting Securities beneficially owned by DII at certain times. Certain provisions of
the Stockholders Agreement could terminate earlier in the event of certain changes of control of
the Issuer or of a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).
