PAGE 12 OF 15 PAGES ---- ----- This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements, pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a), the Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") of The TCW Group, Inc. ("TCW"), Robert A. Day, Trust Company of the West, TCW Asset Management Company, TCW Special Credits, TCW Special Credits Fund III, TCW Special Credits Fund IIIb, TCW Special Credits Trust IIIb, Oaktree Capital Management, LLC ("Oaktree") and OCM Principal Opportunities Fund, L.P. ("Oaktree Fund") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 1997 and amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 17, 1997 and Amendment No. 2 filed on July 15, 1999, relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") of Acorn Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND Paragraph 3 of Item 2 (excluding the beginning paragraph listing the entities on whose behalf the Schedule 13D is filed) is hereby amended and restated as follows: On July 6, 2001, Societe Generale S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of France ("SG"), acquired approximately 51% of the equity securities and 80% of the voting rights of TCW pursuant to an Amended and Restated Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Recapitalization, dated as of April 11, 2001, among TCW, SG, Societe Generale Asset Management, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of France, Marc I. Stern as the Stockholders' Representative, the holders of common stock, par value US$1.00 per share, of TCW party thereto, and the holders of phantom stock of TCW party thereto. As a result of the acquisition by SG, Robert A. Day no longer is deemed to control TCW or share voting or dispositive power within TCW, and has thus ceased to be a beneficial owner of any securities of the Issuer and is no longer a Reporting Person. With the exception of Oaktree and the Oaktree Fund, the Reporting Persons together with TCW's other direct and indirect subsidiaries, collectively constitute The TCW Group, Inc. business unit (the "TCW Business Unit"). The TCW Business Unit is primarily engaged in the provision of investment management services. As of July 6, 2001, the ultimate parent company of TCW is SG. The principal business of SG is acting as a holding company for a global financial services group, which includes certain distinct specialized business units that are independently operated, including the TCW Business Unit. SG, for purposes of the federal securities laws, may be deemed ultimately to control TCW and the TCW Business Unit. SG, its executive officers and directors, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (including all of its business units except the TCW Business Unit), may beneficially own shares of the securities of the Issuer to which this schedule relates (the "Shares") and such Shares are not reported in this statement. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), and due to the separate management and independent operation of its business units, SG disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by the TCW Business Unit. The Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares beneficially owned by SG and any of SG's other business units. Under the list of Executive Officers and Members of Oaktree in paragraph (vi) under the heading "(a) - (c) & (f)", the acting title of Kenneth Liang is hereby amended and restated to read as "Managing Director" and the following person is added to the list of Executive Officers at the end of such list: "John B. Frank - Managing Director and General Counsel". PAGE 13 OF 15 PAGES ---- ----- ITEM 5. INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Item 5(a) is hereby amended by deleting Paragraph 5 of Item 5(a) in its entirety (which paragraph relates to Mr. Day's deemed beneficial ownership in the Shares). Item 5(e) is hereby amended by deleting the phrase "Not applicable" and inserting the phrase "See Item 2" in its place.
