AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D PURSUANT TO RULE 13D-1 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED The reporting persons hereby amend Items 4 and 5 of the Statement on Schedule 13D, as previously amended, filed on their behalf with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in such previously filed Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 is replaced in its entirety with the following paragraphs: On July 23, 2003, CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. ("CB Richard Ellis Services"), through its wholly owned affiliate ("Merger Sub"), has completed the acquisition of the Issuer in a cash merger (the "Merger"). In the Merger, each share of common stock of the Issuer has been converted into the right to receive $11.156 per share and each option or warrant to purchase shares of common stock of the Issuer has been converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the merger consideration of $11.156 per share over the exercise price of such option or warrant. As a result of the Merger, the Issuer became a privately held company and its common stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The Merger was consummated pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 28, 2003, by and among the Issuer, CBRE Holding, Inc., CB Richard Ellis Services and Merger Sub. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Item 5 is amended by replacing the existing information with the following: In the Merger, the reporting persons disposed of all shares of common stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by any of them. This statement is being filed to report the fact that as of July 23, 2003, the reporting persons have ceased to be the beneficial owner of any securities of the Issuer. SIGNATURES After reasonable inquiry and to the best knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the information set forth in this statement is true, complete, and correct.
