To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Saul Entities, none of the directors and/or executive officers of the Saul Entities was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is 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 violations with respect to such laws during the last five years from the date of this Amendment.

All individuals named in this Schedule 13D are citizens of the United States of America.

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

Item 3 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

A Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors (the “Directors Plan”) was established by Saul Centers for the benefit of its directors and their beneficiaries. Pursuant to the Directors Plan, B. Francis Saul II has elected to defer all of his director’s fees into a stock deferred fee account. Fees earned during a calendar quarter are aggregated and divided by the Common Stock’s closing market price on the first trading day of the following quarter to determine the number of shares to be allocated to Mr. Saul. Upon the occurrence of events specified in the Directors Plan, amounts credited to the stock deferred fee account shall be paid by the delivery by Saul Centers of certificates representing a like number of shares of Common Stock. Under the terms of the Directors Plan, Mr. Saul is not eligible to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock until they are issued. Because Mr. Saul does not have the current ability to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock, they have not historically been reported on the Schedule 13D. However, although unlikely at this time, some of the events that would cause the delivery of the Common Stock to Mr. Saul could, in theory, take place within 60 days.

On the date of Amendment No. 34, Mr. Saul had deferred fees that would entitle him to delivery of 19,639 shares of Common Stock.

Amounts held in the stock deferred fee account receive dividends on the same basis as shares of Common Stock, with dividends being reinvested on terms identical to Saul Centers’ DRIP. Since the date of Amendment No. 33, the following dividend reinvestments were made pursuant to Mr. Saul’s stock deferred fee account:

 

Date of Reinvestment    Amount reinvested    Price per share    Number of shares

July 30, 2010

   $ 7,008.83    $ 41.27    169.814

Saul Centers instituted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan in December 1995 (the “DRIP”) through which holders of Common Stock and holders of limited partnership interests in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership may choose to have some or all of their cash dividends or cash distributions automatically reinvested in shares


Page 20 of 27 Pages

 

of Common Stock. Since the filing of Amendment Number 33 to this Schedule 13D, Saul Centers has issued Common Stock pursuant to the DRIP on July 30, 2010. The Saul Trust, B.F. Saul Property Company, Avenel Executive Park Phase II, L.L.C., Dearborn, L.L.C. and the Saul Company participated in the DRIP on July 30, 2010 and, consequently, were issued additional shares of Common Stock in lieu of receiving cash payments. The total amount reinvested and the number of shares acquired by such entities are as follows:

Under Saul Centers’ 2004 Stock Plan, the Board of Directors has approved an annual award of 200 shares of Common Stock to each person serving on the Board of Directors of Saul Centers as of the record date for the annual meeting of stockholders. B. Francis Saul II has elected to participate in the DRIP with respect to these shares. In addition, under the 2004 Stock Plan, Mr. Saul receives an annual grant of an option to purchase 2,500 shares. Options to purchase 17,500 shares are exercisable within 60 days of this Amendment. The total amount reinvested and the number of shares acquired by B. Francis Saul II is as follows:

In addition, Mrs. Patricia E. Saul, the wife of B. Francis Saul II, has participated in the DRIP. The additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the DRIP to Mrs. Patricia E. Saul are being reported in this Schedule 13D because B. Francis Saul II, by reason of his possible influence over his wife, has or might be deemed to have sole or shared voting and dispositive power over such shares. Mr. Saul disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by Mrs. Patricia E. Saul.

The amounts reinvested and the number of shares issued pursuant to the DRIP are listed below:

(1) Includes all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Saul Entities, the Trusts and Mrs. Patricia E. Saul. B. Francis Saul II owns 2,429 shares of Common Stock directly and owns options to purchase 17,500 shares of Common Stock that are exercisable within 60 days, as well as 19,639 shares of phantom stock pursuant to the Directors Plan, which may be exchanged for shares of Common Stock under certain circumstances. In addition, units equivalent to 99,376 shares of Common Stock are held in the individual 401(k) account of B. Francis Saul II. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the shares of Common Stock described above are considered to be beneficially owned by Mr. Saul because he has or may be deemed to have sole or shared voting and/or investment power in respect thereof. Mr. Saul disclaims beneficial ownership of 23,014 shares held by the Trusts, 80,638 shares held by Mrs. Patricia E. Saul and units equivalent to 4,188 shares of Common Stock held in the individual 401(k) account Mrs. Patricia E. Saul.
(2) Includes all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by B. F. Saul Property Company, the Saul Trust, Avenel Executive Park Phase II, L.L.C. and Dearborn, L.L.C. B. F. Saul Company owns 234,564 shares of Common Stock directly. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the shares of Common Stock described above are considered to be beneficially owned by the Saul Company because it has or may be deemed to have sole or shared voting and/or investment power in respect thereof.
(3) Includes all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Avenel Executive Park Phase II, L.L.C. and Dearborn, L.L.C. The Saul Trust owns 4,865,429 shares of Common Stock directly and holds units of limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership convertible into 2,550,866 shares of Common Stock that are exercisable within 60 days. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the shares of Common Stock described above are considered to be beneficially owned by the Saul Trust because it has or may be deemed to have sole or shared voting and/or investment power in respect thereof.
(4) Dearborn, L.L.C. owns 383,732 shares of Common Stock directly and holds units of limited partnership in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership convertible into 1,403,549 shares of Common Stock that are exercisable within 60 days.

The reporting persons beneficially own a total of 5,416,415 units of limited partnership interest in Saul Holdings Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), which units, in general, are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. However, under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of the Partnership, units may not be converted if doing so would cause the reporting persons and other affiliates of Mr. Saul to beneficially own collectively greater than 39.9% of the aggregate value of Saul Centers’ outstanding equity stock, as calculated pursuant to Saul Centers’ Articles of Incorporation. As a result, 1,462,000 units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership held by the reporting persons are excluded from the totals reported in the preceding table. Fluctuations in the price of the Common Stock and Saul Centers’ preferred stock will cause the number of units that are convertible at any given time to increase or decrease. The Saul Trust and Dearborn, L.L.C. report beneficial ownership of the units of limited partnership interest disclosed in footnotes 3 and 4, respectively.

b. The Saul Entities have the sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by each. The Saul Company shares the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the

The Saul Trust shares the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock owned by Avenel Executive Park Phase II, L.L.C. and Dearborn, L.L.C. B. Francis Saul II shares the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock owned by the Saul Entities with the other directors, trustees or general partners of the Saul Entities. The information required by Item 2 with respect to the other directors, trustees and general partners of the Saul Entities is set forth in Item 2 above.

B. Francis Saul II, as sole trustee of the Sharon Elizabeth Saul Trust, the Elizabeth Willoughby Saul Trust, the Andrew M. Saul Trust, and the Patricia English Saul Trust (collectively, the “Trusts”), has the sole power to vote and the sole power to direct the disposition of 23,014 shares of Common Stock held by these Trusts. Because of his possible influence over the trustees and beneficiaries of the trusts named below and over his wife, Mrs. Patricia E. Saul, Mr. Saul might be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock owned by such trusts and by Mrs. Saul as indicated by the following table:

Because Mr. Saul is not the beneficial owner of the shares held by the trusts listed above, these shares are not included in Mr. Saul’s holdings in Item 5(a) above. However, because Mr. Saul has an indirect pecuniary interest in the shares held by his wife, Mrs. Patricia E. Saul, these shares are included in Mr. Saul’s holdings in Item 5(a) above.
