Malek, (vi) Carl J. Rickersten, and (vii) Paul G. Stern. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend the Schedule 13D which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 19, 2001 (the "Schedule 13D"). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto: It is expected that the potential purchases of Common Stock described in Item 4 would be made using cash funds provided by the Questor Entities and certain affiliates thereof. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following information: On March 1, 2001, Questor Management Company, LLC, which conducts the day-to-day management of the Questor Entities, delivered to the Board of Directors of the Company a letter, dated March 1, 2001 (the "Proposal Letter"), in which the Questor Entities together with certain other principal stockholders (together, the "Acquisition Group") of the Company offered to purchase all of the outstanding public shares of Common Stock not already owned by the Acquisition Group for cash consideration of $1.00 per share. Thayer, Equity, Co-Investors and Management are part of the Acquisition Group, and it is expected that certain other significant stockholders will also be members. Pursuant to the Proposal Letter, Thayer, Equity, Co-Investors, Management and certain other significant stockholders may sell securities of the Company in exchange for approximately $10 million. The Questor Entities anticipate that upon completion of the proposed transaction, they would seek to cause the Company to be delisted from trading on the NASDAQ bulletin board and to cause deregistration of the Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The proposal letter is attached to this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated into this Amendment No. 1 by reference in its entirety, and the description of the proposal letter herein is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. On March 2, 2001, the Company issued a press release relating to the events described above. The press release is attached to this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit 99.4 and is incorporated into this Amendment No. 1 in its entirety. There can be no assurance that the Acquisition Group and the Company will enter into a definitive merger agreement or that any of the conditions to the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such a merger agreement will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all or that the Acquisition Group will be able to negotiate satisfactory stockholder arrangements among themselves.

EX-99.3 3 w46190ex99-3.txt PROPOSAL LETTER 1 EXHIBIT 99.3 PROPOSAL LETTER [Letterhead of Questor] March 1, 2001 Board of Directors Aegis Communications Group, Inc. 7880 Bent Branch Drive, Suite 150 Irving, Texas Gentlemen: Thank you for the productive discussion yesterday at the Board meeting concerning our consideration of a possible acquisition of the publicly held common stock of the Company. Following those discussions, we have decided to formalize our proposal, and we are pleased to setout the specifics below. Questor Partners Fund II, L.P. and certain affiliated funds ("Questor"), together with certain other principal stockholders (together, the "Acquisition Group") of Aegis Communications Group, Inc. ("Aegis"), are pleased to offer to purchase all of the outstanding public shares of common stock of Corvette not already owned by the Acquisition Group (the "Public Shares"). Thayer Equity Investors III, L.P. and certain affiliated funds ("Thayer") are part of the Acquisition Group, and it is expected that certain other significant stockholders will also be members. The principal terms of our offer are as follows: 1. An entity owned by the Acquisition Group would purchase the Public Shares for cash consideration of $1.00 per share. It is expected that Questor will provide the financing for the transaction. It is also anticipated that Thayer and certain other significant stockholders would receive $10 million of cash in exchange for securities of Aegis held by such stockholders. 2. Consummation of the transaction would be subject to, among other things, (i) negotiation of satisfactory stockholder arrangements among the Acquisition Group, (ii) the satisfaction of all applicable regulatory requirements and (iii) other conditions customary for a transaction of this type, including negotiation of a definitive merger agreement and receipt of all material third-party consents. This proposal is not contingent upon third party financing, as we expect Questor to provide the funding for the transaction. We reserve the right to rescind or amend this offer at any time prior to satisfaction of all such conditions. 3. We anticipate that, upon completion of the transaction, we would seek to cause Aegis to be de-listed from trading on the NASDAQ bulletin board and to cause deregistration of the common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that our offer is fair to, and in the best interests of, Aegis and its public stockholders. The offered price of $1.00 per share represents a premium of 45.3% over the closing price of the shares on March 1, 2001, and a premium of 42.3% over the average closing price for the week ending March 1, 2001. We understand that you may wish to deliberate on this offer through a special committee of independent directors and that such committee may wish to retain its own advisors to assist in those deliberations. While we are prepared to negotiate the terms and conditions of this 2 proposed transaction with the special committee, please note that Questor is interested only in acquiring the publicly held shares, and is not interested in selling its interest in Aegis. We look forward to working expeditiously with the Board of Directors and the special committee on this proposal. Very truly yours, QUESTOR MANAGEMENT COMPANY By: /s/ Henry L.
