Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. "No material changes" means no material changes to the response contained in Hallwood's Schedule 13D previously filed. Item 1. Security and Issuer. No material changes. Item 2. Identity and Background. No material changes. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Not applicable. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. On April 16, 2004, HRPT Properties Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust ("Parent"), HWP LP Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), Hallwood Realty Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") and Hallwood Realty, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Partnership will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub (the "Merger"), with the Partnership becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Hallwood is the sole owner of HWG, LLC ("HWG, LLC"), which owns 330,432 units of limited partner interest in the Partnership (the "Units"). In connection with the Merger Agreement, Hallwood and its real estate subsidiaries entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, HWG, LLC will, subject to certain events, sell the Units to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. HWG, LLC has granted Parent a proxy to vote the 330,432 Units in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Merger. Hallwood will continue to have sole dispositive power over the 330,432 Units. Other than as set forth above, Hallwood has not formulated any plans or proposals of the type referred to in clauses (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. As of the date of this filing, Hallwood, through HWG, LLC owns 330,432 Units, representing approximately 20.7% of the outstanding Units. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, HWG, LLC granted an irrevocable proxy to Parent for voting power over the 330,432 Units, and therefore, Parent and Hallwood are deemed to have shared voting power with respect to such Units. 3 Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. None. Item 7. Materials Filed as Exhibits. Purchase Agreement, dated April 16, 2004, incorporated by reference from Hallwood's Form 8-K filed April 19, 2004. 4 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
