This Amendment No. 18 to Schedule 13D amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) filed by Frank Stronach (“Mr. Stronach”), on September 8, 2003, as previously amended, with respect to the Class B Voting Shares (“Class B Shares”) of MI Developments Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 18 is being filed to report (i) a proposal supported by the Reporting Persons to reorganize the Company as described below and (ii) the suspension of the previously reported proposal by ST Acquisition Corp., an entity owned by a trust the trustees of which are members of the Stronach family (“STAC”), to initiate an offer to acquire all of the outstanding Class B Shares and the Class A Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company not beneficially owned by STAC’s affiliates and associates (including Mr. Stronach, the Stronach Trust, 445327 Ontario Limited (“445327” and, together with Mr. Stronach and the Stronach Trust, the “Reporting Persons”), Fair Enterprise Limited (“Fair Enterprise”) and Bergenie Anstalt (“Bergenie”)) (the “Subject Shares”).

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Class B Shares. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 455 Magna Drive, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, L4G 7K1 7A9.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed by the Reporting Persons. The information set forth on Schedule A is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The information set forth in Item 4 herein is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is amended by adding the following:

On December 22, 2010, the Initiating Shareholders (as defined below) made a proposal to the board of directors of the Company for a transaction (the “Transaction”), to be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) or other form of transaction agreed to by the parties, in which the Company would reorganize such that (a) a corporation controlled by the Stronach Trust holding the majority of the Class B Shares of the Company which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Stronach Trust (the “ST Shareholder”) would acquire from the Company the following (the “Group 1 Assets and Liabilities”): (i) all horseracing and gaming assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (including all joint ventures), (ii) all properties of the Company and its subsidiaries described under “Real Estate Business – Development Properties” in note 6(a) of the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries having a book value of $174.462 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, (iii) the residential zoned property known as “French Creek,” (iv) cash such that the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities would include on January 1, 2011 $20 million of adjusted working capital but the maximum amount payable by the Company would not exceed $20 million (excluding restricted cash), (v) all liabilities associated with the assets described in clauses (a)(i) and (ii) above (excluding liabilities between the Company and the ST Shareholder) (the “Group 1 Liabilities”), (vi) all insurance and sale proceeds in respect of the Group 1 Assets after December 22, 2010, if any and (vii) all trademarks, patents, goodwill and other intellectual and intangible property and books and records relating to the Group 1 Assets; (b) the ST Shareholder would have a right of first refusal with respect to each of the corporate property of Magna International Inc. in Aurora, Ontario on Magna Drive (South of Wellington) and in Oberwaltersdorf, Austria owned by the Company; (c) each Class A Share would be converted into 1 common share of the Company, each Class B Share held by any shareholder other than the ST Shareholder (each a “Public Shareholder”) would be converted into 1.2 common shares of the Company and each Class B Share held by the ST Shareholder would be cancelled in consideration for, among other things, the transfer of the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities to the ST Shareholder, so that, following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction (the “Closing”), the Company’s only capital stock would be a single class of common shares and (d) upon the Closing, an adjustment would be made to reflect an effective transfer date of the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities as of January 1, 2011 (except for the Company’s obligation to fund the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities during the Interim Period as described below).

The Group 1 Assets would be operated as a separate business in the period between January 1, 2011 and the Closing (the “Interim Period”). The Company would be required to provide funding for the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities during the Interim Period, provided that if funding requirements exceed on average $4 million per month, the ST Shareholder would reimburse the Company for such excess on Closing.

Upon Closing, (a) the Company would be prohibited from engaging in or having an interest in, directly or indirectly, any business relating to horseracing or gaming, (b) the board of directors of the Company would be elected by the Public Shareholders at the shareholder meeting called to approve the Transaction, with the director nominees being designated by the Initiating Shareholders and ST Shareholder abstaining and (c) the Company would reimburse the Initiating Shareholders for all of their reasonable legal fees and advisory fees incurred in connection with the Transaction and for their legal and advisory fees paid prior to December 22, 2010 up to $1 million, and the Company would reimburse ST Shareholder for all of its reasonable legal fees and advisory fees incurred in connection with the Transaction up to $1 million.


CUSIP No. 55304X 20 3    SCHEDULE 13D/A    Page 6 of 8 Pages

 

The consummation of the Transaction would be subject to the execution of definitive documentation by January 31, 2011 and the implementation of the Transaction by June 30, 2011 (with a target Closing on April 1, 2011), and other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals.

In view of the proposed Transaction, STAC is suspending its previously reported proposal to initiate an offer to acquire the Subject Shares in a tender offer pending completion of the Transaction.

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own Class A Shares as follows:

- Mr. Stronach does not hold any Class A Shares directly. Mr. Stronach may be deemed to beneficially own 363,414 Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B Shares held by 445327; 50,000 Class A Shares held by Fair Enterprise; and 20,000 Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B Shares by Fair Enterprise, representing approximately 0.9% of the Class A Shares in the aggregate.

- The Stronach Trust does not hold any Class A Shares directly. The Stronach Trust and 445327 may each be deemed to beneficially own 363,414 Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of Class B Shares held by 445327, representing approximately 0.8% of the Class A Shares.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting and disposition of Class A Shares beneficially owned by Bergenie, Fair Enterprise and each Reporting Person. The filing of this amendment shall not be construed as an admission that such a group exists or that any Reporting Person beneficially owns any Class A Shares that are held or beneficially owned by any other Reporting Person or by Fair Enterprise or Bergenie. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of Class A Shares held by any other person or entity for purposes other than U.S. securities law purposes.

Each of the following shareholders, by entering into the Support Agreement, may be deemed to have formed a group with the Reporting Persons with respect to the acquisition, holding, voting and disposition of Class A Shares owned by such shareholder. The filing of this amendment shall not be construed as an admission that any such group exists. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Class A Shares for purposes other than U.S. securities law purposes. Assuming the beneficial ownership of such Class A Shares, the group formed by the Reporting Persons and each such shareholder would be the beneficial owner of the number of Class A Shares reported herein plus the number set forth below.

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the shareholders (each a “Shareholder”, and collectively the “Initiating Shareholders”) of MI Developments Inc. (the “Company”) listed in the attached Schedule A, and such other direct or indirect shareholders of the Company who may execute a counterpart of this Agreement, agree as follows with respect to a plan of arrangement or other form of transaction (the “Transaction”) substantially on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the attached Schedule B. For this purpose, each of the Initiating Shareholders further agrees as follows with respect to itself:

 

1. Certain Initiating Shareholders will propose, with the support of 445327 Ontario Limited (“445”), the Transaction to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company and request that the Board take all action required to implement the Transaction as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

 

2. Each Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Shares of the Company (the “Shares”) owned or controlled by that Shareholder in favour of the Transaction.

 

3. Each Shareholder confirms that it owns or controls the class and number of Shares set out below its signature on the counterpart executed by it and has the authority to vote or direct the voting of such Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

4. For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, as to each Shareholder, each Shareholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or take any other action that would prevent it from carrying out its obligations under this Agreement except that the Shareholder may sell or otherwise transfer all or part of the Shares to a person, corporation or entity that agrees to be bound by the terms hereof and executes a counterpart to this Agreement.

 

5. Each Shareholder has the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by giving notice to the Company if:

 

  (a) the terms of the Transaction are changed from those set out in Schedule B in a manner that is adverse to that Shareholder or to all Initiating Shareholders in a material respect;

 

  (b) the Shareholder, acting reasonably, determines that the definitive documents do not reflect the terms contemplated in Schedule B in a manner that is materially adverse to the Shareholder;

 

  (c) the execution of definitive documentation relating to the transaction has not occurred by January 31, 2011 or the transaction has not been implemented by June 30, 2011;

 

  (d) the meeting of shareholders of the Company to approve the Transaction has occurred;

 

  (e) this Agreement has not been signed (by joinder or counterpart) on or before January 31, 2011 by holders of Class B Shares which constitutes a “majority of the minority” of such shares for purposes of National Instrument 61-101 (excluding in such calculation Shares held by the Magna Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (Canada)); or

 

  (f) less than 30% of all outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares remain subject to this Agreement.

  (5) the liabilities consisting of all liabilities associated with or arising out of the properties described in paragraphs (1) and (2) above (the “Group 1 Liabilities”); provided that the Group 1 Liabilities shall not include liabilities between MID, on the one hand, and STco, on the other hand;

 

  (6) To the extent any Group 1 Assets are sold or insurance proceeds are collected with respect thereto after the date hereof, any consideration received from such sale or insurance proceeds shall constitute Group 1 Assets;

  (c) Each Class A Share in MID shall be converted into 1 common share of MID, each Class B share in MID held by Public Shareholders shall be converted into 1.2 common shares in MID and each Class B share in MID held by ST Shareholder shall be cancelled for no further consideration other than the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities. Following closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), MID shall have one class of outstanding shares, being common shares.

 

  (d) On the Closing, the adjustments specified in Section 3(d) below will be made to reflect an effective transfer date for the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities of January 1, 2011 (the “Interim Period”), provided that MID shall provide funding for the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities during the Interim Period.

  (c) MID shall reimburse the supporting Class A shareholders for all of their reasonable legal fees and advisory fees incurred and to be incurred in connection with the transaction and, in addition, MID shall reimburse supporting Class A shareholders for legal/advisory fees paid prior to the date hereof up to $1 million and MID shall reimburse ST Shareholder for all of its reasonable legal fees and advisory fees incurred in connection with the transaction up to $ 1 million; and

 

  (d) If the funding requirements (including for greater certainty any funding permitted pursuant to paragraph 4(e) below) of the Group 1 Assets and Liabilities during the Interim Period exceed on average US$4,000,000 per month, ST Shareholder shall reimburse MID for such excess.

 

4. The principal closing conditions will include:

 

  (a) receipt of all regulatory approvals, including all stock exchange approvals and any required securities regulatory approvals;

 

  (b) receipt of all required MID shareholder approvals, including a majority of the minority of the Class A shareholders of MID and a majority of the minority of the Class B shareholders of MID;

 

  (c) if the transaction proceeds by plan of arrangement, court approval of the plan of arrangement;

  (f) reimbursements as contemplated in paragraphs 3(c) and (d) above.

 

  (g) accuracy of all MID disclosure documents in all material respects; and
