STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1

OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS

UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

 

THIS STATEMENT CONSTITUTES AMENDMENT NO. 18 TO THE SCHEDULE 13D PREVIOUSLY FILED.

 

Item 1.

Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 18 to Schedule 13D (originally filed on November 24, 1989 as subsequently amended) (this “Amendment No. 18”) relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Security Capital Corporation (the “Issuer”).  The address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices is Eight Greenwich Office Park, Third Floor, Greenwich, CT  06831.

 

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

(a)           This Amendment No. 18 is being filed by Brian D. Fitzgerald, FGS, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Capital Partners, Inc., a Connecticut corporation, CP Acquisition, L.P. No. 1, a Delaware limited partnership, FGS Partners, L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership, A. George Gebauer and William R. Schlueter (each, a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). 

 

(b) and (c)              See Schedule A hereto.  

 

(d) and (e)              During the past five years, no Reporting Person or any other person listed in Schedule A hereto has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) been 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 a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

 

(f)            See Schedule A hereto.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs:

 

(a) - (j)

 

9



 

On June 7, 2005, the Issuer announced that, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, the Issuer’s full Board has determined to retain UBS Securities LLC to conduct a formal sale process for the Issuer in order to seek the highest price reasonably obtainable for the stockholders of the Issuer.  In addition, the Issuer announced that it expected that the formal sale process would commence promptly after the Issuer files its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, which the Issuer stated that it currently believed would be filed by June 17, 2005.

 

Mr. Brian D. Fitzgerald, Chairman, President and CEO of the Issuer, recommended to the Board of Directors of the Issuer that it consider initiating a formal sale process as the best way to seek to maximize stockholder value.  After interviewing various investment banking firms with respect to the attractiveness and advisability of such a formal sale process, the Issuer’s Board asked the Special Committee to provide its recommendation as to whether the Issuer should switch to a formal sale process.  On May 27, 2005, the Special Committee recommended, and the full Board approved, the formal sale process and the Issuer’s retention of UBS Securities LLC to conduct the process.  UBS Securities LLC was retained on June 6, 2005.

 

In response to a question from the Special Committee, Mr. Fitzgerald informed the Issuer’s Board of Directors that the Reporting Persons fully support such formal sale process and are committed to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons if appropriate value is achieved in the transaction.  As a declared seller in the formal sale process, Mr. Fitzgerald stated to the Board of Directors that the Reporting Persons would not participate as a bidder in such process.

 

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons nor any of the other persons listed in Schedule A hereto currently has any plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the events listed in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
