This Amendment No. 26 to Schedule 13D amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) filed by Frank Stronach (“Mr. Stronach”), the Stronach Trust, 445327 Ontario Limited (“445327”), Bergenie Anstalt, MI Developments Inc. (“MID”) and 1346457 Ontario Inc. on September 20, 2003, as previously amended, with respect to the Class A Subordinate Voting Stock, par value $.01 per share (“MECA Shares”) of Magna Entertainment Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 26 is being filed to report that the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has dismissed the applications made by certain MID Class A shareholders challenging MID’s ability to rely on certain exemptions from the requirements to obtain minority shareholder approval and formal valuations under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions in respect of transactions with Magna Entertainment Corp.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the MECA Shares. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 337 Magna Drive, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, L4G 7K1.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed by Mr. Stronach, the Stronach Trust and 445327 (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is amended by adding the following:

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has dismissed the applications made by certain MID Class A shareholders challenging MID’s ability to rely on certain exemptions from the requirements to obtain minority shareholder approval and formal valuations under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions in respect of transactions with Magna Entertainment Corp. The OSC indicated that it intends to issue reasons for the dismissal in due course.

As a result of the dismissal of the applications by the OSC, the amendments to the secured debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing facility being provided by a wholly-owned subsidiary of MID to MEC and certain of its subsidiaries announced on August 26, 2009 will come into effect, subject to MEC obtaining approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware to such amendments. Under the amended DIP facility, MEC must use its best efforts to market and sell all of its assets. With respect to Golden Gate Fields, Gulfstream Park, Maryland Jockey Club and Santa Anita Park, MID will continue to evaluate all of its alternatives, which may include MID entering into a stalking horse purchase agreement for one or more of such assets in the event that MEC receives no other stalking horse bids acceptable to MEC.

None of the Reporting Persons currently has plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the consequences listed in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D, except as set forth in this Statement. Each of the Reporting Persons intends to evaluate on an ongoing basis its investment in the Company and its options with respect to such investment. As a result of such evaluation, one or more of the Reporting Persons may make suggestions or adopt positions with respect to one or more of the transactions specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D. Furthermore, Mr. Stronach may, in his capacity as Chairman of the Company or otherwise, communicate with the Company’s management, directors, shareholders and other parties with respect to such transactions.

The press release announcing the OSC decision is filed as Exhibit A hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of Issuer
