CUSIP NO. 948849-104 Schedule 13D/A Page 12 of 15 AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D Reference is made to the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed on May 28, 1999 by Janet C. Weis ("Janet Weis"), Weis Family Holdings, L.P. ("WFHLP") and Weis Family Holdings, L.L.C. ("WFHLLC"), the Statement on Schedule 13G filed on December 28, 1998 by Michael M. Apfelbaum ("Michael Apfelbaum"), as amended, and the Statement on Schedule 13G filed on December 18, 1998 by Sidney Apfelbaum, as amended, with respect to their beneficial ownership of the common stock, no par value ("Common Stock"), of Weis Markets, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Issuer"), each as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed November 30, 1999 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed December 2, 1999, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed December 8, 1999, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed December 10, 1999 and Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed December 23, 1999. This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D as follows. Capitalized terms used without definition in this Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D shall have the meanings set forth in Amendment No. 1. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following: On Monday, April 10, 2000, two of the Reporting Persons, Joseph I. Goldstein and Michael M. Apfelbaum, each of whom is a director of Issuer, transmitted a letter to the Board of Directors of Issuer. In the letter, Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum set forth their views on the recent discussions held among various Reporting Persons, management of the Issuer, their respective representatives and representatives of Issuer concerning strategic alternatives for enhancing shareholder value and the need to reconfigure the Board of Directors of Issuer to better represent all shareholder constituencies and address the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange's recently revised audit committee rules. Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum stated that they continued to be disappointed with the efforts being undertaken by the current management of Issuer to enhance shareholder value for the benefit of all shareholders, and that they were concerned that the price performance of the Common Stock would continue to significantly lag the general market in the absence of a more pro-active strategy to enhance shareholder value. Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum re-iterated their views that the current configuration of the Board of Directors of Issuer does not properly represent the interests of all of Issuer's shareholder constituencies and fails to provide a sufficient base of independent directors to effectively comply with recently revised New York Stock Exchange rules concerning the composition of audit committees. They stated in the letter that they continued to believe that the Board should be comprised of an equal number of representatives of Robert Weis and Ellen P. Wasserman (Mr. Weis's sister), on the one hand, and of members of the Weis Markets Shareholders Committee, on the other hand, together with a strong base of experienced independent directors. Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum noted that Issuer's by-laws call on the Board of Directors of Issuer to convene an Annual Meeting no later than the end of May, and that they assumed the Board of Directors would be moving forward CUSIP NO. 948849-104 Schedule 13D/A Page 13 of 15 shortly to set a record date for such a meeting. Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum noted that, without needing to solicit proxies from other shareholders of the Company, the Reporting Persons could vote their shares on a cumulative basis to elect at least 3 nominees if Issuer maintained a 7-person board or at least 4 nominees if Issuer were to expand the size of the Board to 9 or more persons. Messrs. Goldstein and Apfelbaum noted that they understood that the Weis Markets Shareholders Committee would be content to see the size of the Board of Directors of Issuer expanded, assuming top-quality independent directors were to be selected to fill the additional vacancies created by such expansion.
