STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1
OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
THIS STATEMENT CONSTITUTES AMENDMENT NO. 17 TO THE SCHEDULE 13D PREVIOUSLY FILED.
Item 1. |
Security and Issuer |
This Amendment No. 17 to Schedule 13D (originally filed on November 24, 1989 as subsequently amended) (this Amendment No. 17) relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class A Common Stock), of Security Capital Corporation (the Issuer). The address of the Issuers principal executive offices is Eight Greenwich Office Park, Third Floor, Greenwich, CT 06831. |
|
Item 2. |
Identity and Background |
(a) This Amendment No. 17 is being
filed by Brian D. Fitzgerald, FGS, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Capital
Partners, Inc., a Connecticut corporation, CP Acquisition, L.P. No. 1, a
Delaware limited partnership, FGS Partners, L.P., a Connecticut limited
partnership, A. George Gebauer and William R. Schlueter (each, a Reporting
Person and, collectively, the Reporting Persons). |
|
(b) and (c) See Schedule A
hereto. |
|
(d) and (e) During the past five years, no
Reporting Person or any other person listed in Schedule A hereto
has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) been 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

(f) See Schedule A hereto. |
9
Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph: |
|
On April 13, 2005, the scheduling conference was held with respect to the complaint, dated March 29, 2005, styled Montauk Partners L.P., Wilmington Interstate Corporation, Virginia Retirement System, Landmark Secondary Partners IX, L.P., Illinois State Universities Retirement System, State of Montana Board of Investments, and Erste Bank v. Brian D. Fitzgerald, Capital Partners, Inc., FGS, Inc., CP Acquisition, L.P. No. 1, and Capital Partners Holdings II-A, L.P. and Capital Partners Holdings II-B, L.P. The scheduling conference was held to consider the plaintiffs motion, dated March 29, 2005, filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking to expedite proceedings and schedule a trial on the matter for June 2005. At the scheduling conference, the Court denied the plaintiffs motion and stated that the plaintiffs had not shown a need for a trial in that time frame. Instead, the Court directed the parties to attempt to work out a pre-trial schedule that would result in the matter being tried around year-end 2005. |
