CUSIP NO. 903236107 SCHEDULE 13D Page 8 of 12 This Amendment No. 26 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 22, 1999 by BLUM Capital Partners, L.P. (formerly Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P.), a California limited partnership ("BLUM LP"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); The Common Fund, a New York non-profit corporation, RCBA Strategic Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Strategic"); RCBA GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("RCBA GP"); and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a Managing Member of RCBA GP (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 100 California Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94111-4529. This amendment to the Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 and shares of Series B Exchangeable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 (the "Series B Stock"). The following amendment to Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer - --------------------------------------------- Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows: (a),(b) According to information furnished to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, there were 48,181.14 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding as of January 12, 2000, and 15,924,855 shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 1999. Based on the above information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the following Reporting Persons will report the following direct holdings and corresponding percentage interests in the Series B Shares and Common Stock Shares (assuming the conversion of each Reporting Person's Series B Shares into Common Shares): Total Common Shares Series B Shares (after conversion) --------------------- --------------------- Name No. Owned % Owned No. Owned % Owned - ----------------- --------- ------- --------- ------- BLUM LP 0 0.0% 3,177,025(1) 20.0% RCBA Inc. 0 0.0% 3,177,025(1) 20.0% Richard C.

As the sole general partner of BLUM LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which BLUM LP has voting and investment power. As Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. BLUM LP, RCBA Inc. and Mr. Blum CUSIP NO. 903236107 SCHEDULE 13D Page 9 of 12 disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. (2) Mr. Blum has sole beneficial ownership of 24,475 shares of the Common Stock (consisting of shares held directly, shares as beneficiary of a trust and options currently exercisable). Mr. Blum is a director of Issuer. (3) These shares are legally owned by The Common Fund (one of BLUM LP's investment advisory clients described in (1) above). BLUM LP has voting and investment power with respect to these shares, and these shares are reported as beneficially owned by BLUM LP. The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of managing investments for educational institutions. The principal administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 450 Post Road East, Westport, Connecticut 06881-0909. The Common Fund disclaims membership in a group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Reporting Persons. The table does not reflect dilution from the conversion of the Series B Stock; on a diluted basis, The Common Fund's percentage of ownership would be 5.2%. (4) These shares are owned directly by Strategic. Voting and investment power concerning these shares are held solely by RCBA GP, the general partner of Strategic, which would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of these shares. As a Managing Member of RCBA GP, Mr. Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities over which RCBA GP has voting and investment power. RCBA GP and Mr. Blum disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. Based on the affiliations described in Notes (1) through (4) above, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members in a group. (c) During the last 60 days, in addition to the open market purchases described below, (i) on December 31, 1999, the Issuer issued 831.25 additional shares of the Series B Stock to Strategic as payment-in-kind dividends payable on Strategic's pre-existing Series B Stock, and (ii) on December 15, 1999, two of the limited partnerships for which BLUM LP serves as the general partner (i) distributed 22,863 shares of the Common Stock to two of their limited partners in connection with the withdrawal of the two limited partners from the limited partnerships, and (ii) transferred 2,596 shares of the Common Stock to BLUM LP.
