(the "Issuer"). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Only those Items that are amended or supplemented are reported herein. Item 2. Identity and Background. This Statement is being filed by Horst Kukwa-Lemmerz, Renate Kukwa-Lemmerz, Inge Kruger-Pressl, Marianne Lemmerz, H.K.L., L.L.C. and the Trust of Grandchildren of Marianne Lemmerz (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). On January 30, 1998, a trust was established in Germany for the benefit of the grandchildren of Marianne Lemmerz (the "Trust"). The Trust's address is Bonnerstrasse, 484-486, D-50968, Cologne, Germany. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consolidation. Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following: It is expected that approximately fifty percent (50%) of the funds necessary to complete the Proposed Transaction (as hereinafter defined) will be provided by the Purchaser (as hereinafter defined) and the balance will be provided through additional borrowings by the Issuer under its revolving credit facility with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation, as managing agents. The funds to be provided by the Purchaser are expected to be obtained from capital contributions of certain of the Majority Stockholders (as hereinafter defined) and affiliated entities. The terms and conditions of such capital contributions have not yet been agreed to and the Reporting Persons have not made any decision as to whether any of the Reporting Persons will participate in such capital contribution or, if any Reporting Person does so participate, the source of any funds to be used. On January 30, 1998, Marianne Lemmerz contributed 199,998 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that she beneficially owned to the Trust. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the folowing: On January 9, 2000, Joseph Littlejohn & Levy, Inc. delivered to the Board of the Issuer (the "Board") a letter dated January 9, 2000 (the "Proposal Letter") on behalf of Joseph Littlejohn & Levy Fund II L.P. ("JLL"), TSG Capital Fund II, L.P. (the "Fund"), CIBC WG Argosy Merchant Fund 2, L.L.C., Mr. Horst Kukwa-Lemmerz, Ms. Renate Kukwa-Lemmerz, Ms. Marianne Lemmerz, Ms. Inge Kruger-Pressl, Mr. Ranko Cucuz and certain other stockholders of the Company (collectively, the "Majority Stockholders"). In the Proposal Letter, the Majority Stockholders offered to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer not currently owned by the Majority Stockholders (the "Shares") for a purchase price of $21.00 per share (the "Proposed Transaction"). The Proposed Transaction 8 would be consummated pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to be entered into between the Issuer and either the Majority Stockholders or an entity to be formed on behalf of the Majority Stockholders (in either case, the "Purchaser"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions contained therein, the Purchaser or its wholly owned subsidiary would be merged with and into the Company and all outstanding Shares would cause the common stock of the Company to be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and to become eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Proposal Letter is attached hereto as an exhibit and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The purpose of the Proposed Transaction is for the Majority Stockholders to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company not currently owned by the Majority Stockholders. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following: To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are 30,339,345 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding (as reported in the Issuer's Form 10Q for the quarterly period ended October 31, 1999). As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons collectively beneficially own 5,050,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, which constituted approximately 16.65% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer. The Majority Stockholders who have reported their ownership of Common Stock of the Issuer on Schedule 13D collectively as a group beneficially own 23,565,076 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which constitutes approximately 77.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (as reported in the Issuer's Form 10Q for the quarterly period ended October 31, 1999). Under Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Majority Stockholders may be deemed to be acting as a group and to share beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by other Majority Stockholders. Except as otherwise set forth in a Schedule 13D or amendment thereto of any of the Majority Stockholders, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by any other Majority Stockholders and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) or under any provision of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder or for any other purpose, that any Reporting Person is a beneficial owner of any such shares. The Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days. 9 Item 6. Contracts, Arrangments, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following: The Majority Stockholders have an understanding among themselves to pursue and to consummate the Proposed Transaction. Item 7.

(the "Company") and certain other stockholder of the Company (collectively, the "Stockholders"), I am pleased to offer to acquire all of the shares of outstanding common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company not currently owned by the Stockholders (the "Shares"). The Stockholders currently own in excess of 75% of the Company's outstanding stock. The principal terms of our offer are as follows: 1. The Stockholders or an entity to be formed on their behalf (in either case, the "Purchaser") would acquire the Shares pursuant to the terms of a merger agreement to be entered into between the Purchaser and the Company (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions contained therein, Purchaser or its wholly owned subsidiary would be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") and all then outstanding Shares would be converted into $21 per Share in cash. 2. All outstanding employee options and warrants would remain outstanding, unaffected by the Merger. 3. Consummation of the Merger would be subject to approval of the independent directors of the Company and the Board of Directors, and such other conditions as are customary for a transaction of this type. We believe that the Company's management is supportive of this proposal. Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. January 9, 2000 Page 2 Of the proceeds necessary to complete this transaction, it is expected that approximately 50% will be provided by the Stockholders and the balance will be provided through additional borrowings by the Company. We assume that the two independent directors of the Company, Messrs. John Rodewig and Ray H. Win will constitute a special committee to consider our offer and that such special committee will retain its own financial and legal advisors to assist in deliberations and negotiation of the Merger Agreement. We believe that our offer is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its public stockholders. The proposed acquisition price represents an 18% premium over the price of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange at the close of business on January 7, 2000. In considering our proposal, you should be aware that the Stockholders are interested only in acquiring the Shares at this time, and have no interest in selling our interest in the Company. We hope you will give this proposal your prompt attention. We are available to meet with you to discuss this proposal at your earliest convenience.
