This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on December 19, 2007 (the “Original Schedule”) by the Reporting Persons (the Original Schedule as amended by Amendment No. 1 is referred to as the “Schedule 13D”) and is filed by and on behalf of the Reporting Persons with respect to the common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Common Stock”), of ChoicePoint Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, with effect from the date of this Amendment, as follows:
(a) – (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference. As of the close of business on the date of this Amendment, the Fund beneficially owns an aggregate of 2,507,882 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and BHIP beneficially owns an aggregate of 783,957 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 1.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of the date of this Amendment, the 3,291,839 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, in the aggregate, by the Funds, which shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of the Fund GP, Manager, Manager GP, and Mr. Robbins, represent approximately 4.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. All percentages set forth in this paragraph are based on 68,363,210 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 14, 2008, as set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2008.
The Fund is the direct owner of 2,507,882 shares of Common Stock reported on this Amendment and BHIP is the direct owner of 783,957 shares of Common Stock reported on this Amendment. For purposes of disclosing the number of shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, Fund GP, as general partner of the Funds, Manager, as the investment manager of the Funds, Manager GP as the general partner of Manager, and Mr. Robbins, as controlling owner of Fund GP and Manager GP (in addition to serving as Chief Executive Officer of Manager) may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) all shares of Common Stock that are owned beneficially and directly by the Funds. Each of Fund GP, Manager, Manager GP and Mr. Robbins disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes. The Fund and BHIP each disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares held directly by the other.
(c) Except as set forth above or in the attached Schedule I, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in shares of Common Stock during the sixty (60) days preceding the date of this Amendment.
|
(d) |
Not applicable. |
(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Common Stock on April 14, 2008
