This Amendment No. 1 amends certain items contained in the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by David Lichtenstein (the “Reporting Person”) on August 28, 2003 with respect to the shares of Series A Senior Cumulative Preferred Stock , par value $.01 per share, of Prime Retail, Inc. (the “Company”) beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

 

(a) Item 2(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

David Lichtenstein, an individual. Prime Outlets Acquisition Company, LLC, is a Delaware limited liability company, of which David Lichtenstein owns 85% of the equity and voting interests.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended as follows:

 

         On November 12, 2003, Prime Outlets Acquisition Company, LLC (“Acquisition”) delivered a letter (the “Release Letter”) to Howard Amster and Gary J. Skoien (the “Individual Holders”) pursuant to which Acquisition (i) released each Individual Holder from all obligations under the Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), dated as of July 8, 2003, between the Individual Holders and Acquisition, (ii) relinquished all of its rights under the Voting Agreement and (iii) relinquished all proxies and powers of attorney granted to Acquisition pursuant to the Voting Agreement with respect to the securities of the Company held by the Individual Holders (the “Amster & Skoien Securities”). Accordingly, on November 12, 2003, the Reporting Person ceased to beneficially own any of the Amster & Skoien Securities. A copy of the Release Letter is attached hereto as exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.  Additionally, on November 12, 2003, the Company confirmed to Acquisition that the Release Letter does not constitute a breach by Acquisition of any provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between Acquisition and the Company.

 

Such action is being taken in recognition of the Company’s inability to date to procure the necessary votes to effectuate the proposed merger of the Company with and into Acquisition (the “Merger”).  Accordingly, the Reporting Person may prior to the Meeting, and thereafter if the Merger shall not have been approved, seek to purchase Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Common Stock and other obligations of the Company, as well as real estate assets of the Company.  In addition, should the Merger not be approved at the Meeting, the Reporting Person reserves the right to take all further actions following the public announcement thereof as the Reporting Person shall deem beneficial at such time, subject to market and other conditions as the Reporting Person shall deem relevant, including without limitation, disposing of all or a portion of the securities of the Company owned by the Reporting Person at such time.
