Introduction

 

This Amendment No. 3 supplements and amends the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2003 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 11, 2004 and by Amendment No. 2 filed on October 6, 2004, the “Schedule 13D”), by Audax Chart, LLC, Audax Private Equity Fund, L.P., Audax Private Equity Business, L.L.C., Audax Private Equity Business, L.P., Audax Holdings I, L.L.C., Audax Group, L.P., 101 Huntington Holdings, L.L.C., Marc B. Wolpow, Geoffrey S. Rehnert, Audax Management Company, LLC (collectively, the “Audax Reporting Persons”) and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management, LLC (collectively, the "Oaktree Reporting Persons" and together with the Audax Reporting Persons, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Chart Industries, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a Delaware corporation.  Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.  Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following at the end thereof:

On August 2, 2005, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with First Reserve Fund X, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“First Reserve”), CI Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Reserve (the “Merger Subsidiary”), and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund II, L.P., Audax Chart LLC, Carl Marks Strategic Investments, L.P., Carl Marks Strategic Investments III, L.P., Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund, Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, GE Capital CFE, Inc., Arthur S. Holmes Trust U/A 03/04/03 and Christine H. Holmes Trust U/A 03/04/03 (collectively, the “Principal Stockholders”).

Subject to the term and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Merger Subsidiary has agreed to acquire all the outstanding shares of the Issuer for a cash purchase price of $65.74 per share, less the Issuer’s transaction expenses calculated on a per share basis.  In addition, the holders of the Issuer’s outstanding warrants and options will receive the same per share cash purchase price less the exercise price of the warrants and options.  The Merger Subsidiary will first purchase the shares owned by the Principal Stockholders.  Following the purchase of the Principal Stockholders’ shares and the purchase of additional shares, if any, required for the Merger Subsidiary to own at least 90% of the Issuer, the Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation.  The same per share price paid to the Principal Stockholders will be paid to the Issuer’s remaining stockholders.  The transaction is subject to the receipt of necessary approvals under applicable antitrust and competition laws and other customary closing conditions. 

The summary of the Merger Agreement contained in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement.  A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 8, 2005 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a)-(b)

Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, the Reporting Persons declare that filing this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement except to the extent of such person’s pecuniary interest in shares of Common Stock.

All such ownership percentages of the securities reported herein are based upon 5,360,409 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 18, 2005, as represented in the Merger Agreement filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 2.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 8, 2005.

Audax Reporting Persons.  As of August 2, 2005, each of the Audax Reporting Persons beneficially owned and had the shared power to vote and dispose of the 1,032,992 shares of Common Stock owned of record by Audax Chart, constituting 19.3% of the outstanding Common Stock.  In addition, the Audax Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of the Senior Lender Group and, as a result, to beneficially own the 3,504,130 shares of Common Stock owned of record by the other members of the Senior Lender Group, including the shares owned by the Oaktree Reporting Persons, constituting an aggregate of 84.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.  The Audax Reporting Persons have the shared power to vote all of the shares owned by other members of the Senior Lender Group but no power to dispose of such shares.  See Item 6-Investor Rights Agreement of the Schedule 13D/A filed on October 6, 2004.

Oaktree Reporting Persons.  As of August 2, 2005, the OCM Fund beneficially owns of record 2,463,638 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Issuer, constituting 46.0% of the Common Stock.  Oaktree, as sole general partner of the OCM Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by the OCM Fund because it has discretionary authority and control over all of the assets of the OCM Fund pursuant to the partnership agreement for the OCM Fund, including the power to vote and dispose of the  Common Stock.  In addition, the Oaktree Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of the Senior Lender Group and, as a result, to beneficially own the 2,073,484 shares of Common Stock owned of record by the other members of the Senior Lender Group, including the shares owned by the Audax Reporting Persons, constituting an aggregate of 84.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.  The Oaktree Reporting Persons have the shared power in certain circumstances to vote all of the shares owned by other members of the Senior Lender Group but no power to dispose of such shares. See Item 6—Investor Rights Agreement of the Schedule 13D/A filed on October 6, 2004.

(c)  Other than the transaction described in Item 4, none of the Audax Reporting Persons nor the Oaktree Reporting Persons, and to the best of their respective knowledge, none of their respective executive officers, directors or general partners has effected any transaction involving the Issuer’s Common Stock during the last 60 days from the date hereof.

(d) Except as stated within this Item 5, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, only the Reporting Persons have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer reported by this statement.
