Each of the Reporting Persons has entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, dated September 17, 2008, under which such persons have agreed to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Exchange Act.

Information in this Schedule 13D with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information provided by another Reporting Person.

The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act as a result of those matters described in Item 4 below. However, neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that all or any of the Reporting Persons constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act. In addition, the Reporting Persons hereby disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock held by the other Reporting Persons. This Schedule 13D will be amended, or one or more additional statements on Schedule 13D will be filed, as necessary and appropriate, to reflect any change in status.

This Schedule 13D amends each statement on Schedule 13G previously filed by a Reporting Person.

(b)

(d), (e)

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons: (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction resulting in his being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f)

Ronald N. Tutor is a United States citizen. The SPT and the QuickGRAT are trusts organized under the laws of the State of California.

 

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

Each of the Reporting Persons is a party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 2, 2008, as amended on May 28, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Perini, Trifecta Acquisition LLC, a California limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Perini (“Merger Sub”), Tutor-Saliba Corporation, a California corporation (“Tutor-Saliba”), Ronald N. Tutor and the shareholders of Tutor-Saliba, including the SPT and the QuickGRAT. A copy of the Merger Agreement as initially executed was filed previously as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on April 7, 2008, and a copy of Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, dated as of May 28, 2008, by and among the parties to the Merger Agreement, was filed previously as Exhibit 2.2 to Perini’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2008.

On September 8, 2008, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Tutor-Saliba was merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Perini (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Tutor-Saliba common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger, but excluding shares of Tutor-Saliba common stock owned by Tutor-Saliba or any of its subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) 22,987,293 shares of Common Stock by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Tutor-Saliba Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 8, 2008. As of September 8, 2008, there were 900,043 shares of Tutor-Saliba common stock outstanding. Thus, each outstanding share of Tutor-Saliba common stock was converted into the right to receive 25.54 shares of Common Stock upon completion of the Merger.

As shareholders of Tutor-Saliba immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, the SPT and the QuickGRAT received the subject shares of Common Stock as merger consideration pursuant to the Merger.

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated in this Item 3 by reference.

 

  Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

(a) through (j)

On September 8, 2008, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Perini acquired 100% of the equity interests of Tutor-Saliba through the Merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Tutor-Saliba common stock, other than shares held by Tutor-Saliba or its subsidiaries, each outstanding share of Tutor-Saliba common stock was converted into the right to receive 25.54 shares of Common Stock upon completion of the Merger.


                    CUSIP No. 713839108    SCHEDULE 13D    Page 7 of 11

 

Non-Competition. Upon the closing of the Merger, each Tutor-Saliba shareholder and Ronald N. Tutor have agreed that for five years after the closing date, they will not engage in any competing operation (other than through a passive ownership interest) in any country in the world in which Tutor-Saliba or any of its subsidiaries or Perini or any of its subsidiaries currently conducts business or conducted business in the prior two years. In addition, each Tutor-Saliba shareholder and Ronald N. Tutor have agreed that for five years after the closing of the Merger, they will not (i) solicit or hire employees of Tutor-Saliba or any of its subsidiaries (with certain limited exceptions), or (ii) cause any of Tutor-Saliba’s customers or suppliers to cease doing business or reduce the level of business with Tutor-Saliba or any of its subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed previously as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on April 7, 2008.

Capitalization. In connection with the Merger, Perini amended and restated its articles of organization to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 40 million to 75 million shares. A copy of the amendment was filed previously as Exhibit 3.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on September 11, 2008.

Distributions; Dividend Notes. As described in greater detail in the Schedule 14A filed by Perini on August 6, 2008, in connection with the closing of the Merger, Tutor-Saliba has distributed to its shareholders (including the SPT and the QuickGRAT) certain assets, including all of its partnership interests in several partnerships that jointly own certain real property, all of its interest in real property located in Ketchum, Idaho, and cash for the payment of Tutor-Saliba shareholders’ tax obligations with respect to Tutor-Saliba’s income. In addition, as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on September 11, 2008, in connection with the closing of the Merger, Tutor-Saliba declared and distributed certain notes as dividends to the Tutor-Saliba shareholders. The principal amount of the notes issued was $58,484,536, of which notes with a principal amount of $55,917,964 in the aggregate were issue to the SPT and the QuickGRAT. The notes are obligations of Tutor-Saliba, and are not guaranteed by Perini. A copy of the form of the notes was filed previously as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on September 11, 2008.

Board of Directors. Following the closing of the Merger, Tutor-Saliba became a wholly owned subsidiary of Perini. Pursuant to the terms of that certain Shareholders Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2008 (the “Shareholders Agreement”), by and among Perini, Ronald N. Tutor and the former shareholders of Tutor-Saliba who became shareholders of Perini upon the closing of the Merger, Ronald N. Tutor has the right to designate up to two persons as nominees for election to the Perini board of directors as long as the Reporting Persons and their affiliates (collectively, the “Tutor Group”) continue to own at least 22.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and one nominee if the Tutor Group owns less than 22.5% but more than 11.25% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Tutor designated C.L. Max Nikias as one of the board designees and he was appointed as a new member of the Perini board of directors upon completion of the Merger. Mr. Tutor did not elect to exercise his right to nominate a second director for election, although he has not waived his right to do so in the future. In addition, for so long as Mr. Tutor serves as the chief executive officer of Perini, he will be nominated for election to the board of directors.

Voting. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the Tutor Group will vote all of its shares of Common Stock in support of the board of directors’ slate of directors. In addition, on all other matters to be voted on by shareholders of Perini, until the later of the third anniversary of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) or the date on which the Tutor Group owns less than 20% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Standstill Termination Date”), the Tutor Group will vote shares owned by the Tutor Group that are, in the aggregate, equal to up to 20% of the voting power of shares of Common Stock, in its discretion and the balance of its shares of Common Stock in the same proportions as all other shares of Common Stock are voted on such matter.


                    CUSIP No. 713839108    SCHEDULE 13D    Page 8 of 11

 

Standstill. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, until the Standstill Termination Date, the Tutor Group has agreed that it will not take certain actions that may be deemed to be actions to obtain control of Perini, including directly or indirectly soliciting proxies, initiating stockholders proposals, calling meetings or acquiring shares of Common Stock that will result in the Tutor Group collectively owning shares of Common Stock equal to more than the percentage of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the Tutor Group as of the closing of the Merger.

Transfer Restrictions; Registration Rights. The Shareholders Agreement provides that for six months after the closing of the Merger, none of the holders of Tutor-Saliba common stock immediately prior to the Effective Time may transfer or dispose of the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger, other than pursuant to certain limited exceptions. After the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the earlier of the fifth anniversary thereof and the termination of Mr. Tutor’s employment without “Cause” (as defined in that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2008, by and between Perini and Ronald N. Tutor, a copy of which was filed previously as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 7, 2008), the Tutor Group will be able to transfer shares of Common Stock only as long as it continues to collectively own at least 70% of the shares of Common Stock acquired by the Tutor Group pursuant to the Merger. Following the earlier of the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and the termination of Mr. Tutor’s employment without “Cause,” the Tutor Group may transfer shares of Common Stock of Perini so long as such transfers do not include a transfer of shares directly or indirectly equal to 15% of the total voting power of Perini to any person or group until the Tutor Group owns less than 20% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Perini has agreed to give the shareholders of Tutor-Saliba who became shareholders of Perini upon consummation of the Merger certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholders Agreement, a copy of which was filed previously as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on April 7, 2008.

Employment Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Employment Agreement dated as of April 2, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”) entered into by Perini and Ronald N. Tutor in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement became effective. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Tutor will serve as chairman and chief executive officer of Perini. The initial term of the Employment Agreement is five years (beginning on the date of the closing of the Merger), and it renews automatically thereafter for successive one-year periods. The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, a copy of which was filed previously as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Perini on April 7, 2008.

The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated in this Item 4 by reference.

Except as set forth in the preceding paragraphs, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in the matters described in (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, Perini’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, each of the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in Perini as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or selling some or all of its Common Stock or taking any actions that might result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4, but in any case subject to the Merger Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein.
