Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule 13D. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is amended and supplemented by adding the following: On November 30, 1998 (the "Petition Date"), Laclede filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On October 18, 2000, Laclede filed the Debtors' Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri under Case No. 98-23121-399. The Plan became effective on December 29, 2000. Pursuant to the Plan, all shares of Laclede Common Stock and all shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding prior to the Petition Date were cancelled, including the shares of Laclede Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by LCL Holdings I, LLC. In addition, pursuant to the Plan Ivaco (together with its affiliates), as a creditor of Laclede, is expected to receive approximately 51,900 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the reorganized Laclede (the "New Common Stock"). The precise number of shares of New Common Stock has not yet been determined because Laclede is still in the process of reconciling its bankruptcy claims. Page 4 of 6 ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Item 5(a)(i) is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: According to the Form 8-K filed by Laclede on January 2, 2001, Laclede will be authorized by its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to issue 8,000,000 shares of New Common Stock. Under the Plan, 4,400,000 shares of New Common Stock will be issued and outstanding following the Effective Date. Accordingly, the shares of New Common Stock beneficially owned by Ivaco (together with its affiliates) will represent approximately 1.18% of Laclede's issued and outstanding shares. Item 5(b) is amended and supplemented by adding the following: (b) As a result of the transactions described in Item 4 as of December 29, 2000, Ivaco will be the beneficial owner of approximately 51,900 shares of New Common Stock.
