This Amendment No. 15 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (as previously amended) filed by ESL Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("ESL"), ESL Limited, a Bermuda corporation ("Limited"), ESL Institutional Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Institutional"), ESL Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Investors"), Acres Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Acres"), Marion Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Marion"), Blue Macaw Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blue Macaw") and Edward S. Lampert, a U.S. citizen ("Mr. Lampert"), by furnishing the information set forth below. ESL, Limited, Institutional, Investors, Acres, Marion, Blue Macaw and Mr. Lampert are collectively defined in this Amendment as the "Filing Persons." Unless set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: On February 26, 2002, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (following the request of the Filing Persons and delegation from the Board of Directors of the Issuer) authorized the Issuer to register 15 million Shares owned by the Filing Persons. A shelf registration statement on Form S-3 was filed with the Commission by the Issuer on February 26, 2002 pursuant to which, upon effectiveness thereof, the Filing Persons may sell the Shares registered from time to time in open market transactions or otherwise, as detailed in the filing. At February 26, 2002, the Filing Persons owned 25,531,189 Shares, which represented 23.91% of the Shares outstanding as of December 14, 2001. The Filing Persons initially purchased Shares in 1997. Mr. Lampert, one of the Filing Persons, continues to serve as a Director of the Issuer. Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, the Filing Persons may sell the Shares registered from time to time in the future as a means of diversifying a portion of their holdings. In connection with the filing, the Issuer issued a press release in which the Filing Persons indicated their continuing faith in Steve Odland and the management of the Issuer and their belief that the Issuer has just begun to tap into the potential for the Issuer's franchise. The Filing Persons also stated their intention of remaining as significant shareholders of the Issuer for some time to come. Even if all Shares are sold that have been registered for resale, the Filing Persons will continue to own 10,531,189 Shares (assuming no additional purchases), constituting 9.86% of the Shares outstanding as of December 14, 2001, and having an aggregate market value of approximately $736 million based on the closing sales price on February 25, 2002. Investments, on behalf of itself and its affiliates (including the Filing Persons) entered into a letter agreement, dated October 10, 2000, with the Issuer in connection with the Board of Directors' decision to terminate a rights plan which was adopted earlier that year. This letter agreement provides that to the extent the Filing Persons acquire additional Shares of the
Company after October 20, 2000 (the date the rights plan expired) and before April 1, 2004, the Filing Persons have agreed to not vote (or issue written consents with respect to) such Shares prior to April 1, 2004, unless the Board of Directors otherwise permits. The Filing Persons are currently entitled to vote 17,164,683 Shares, or 16.07% of the Shares outstanding as of December 14, 2001. The Filing Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their investment in the Issuer. Depending upon the factors discussed below, the Filing Persons (subject to applicable law) may acquire additional Shares; may sell all or part of their Shares, pursuant to the registration statement, Rule 144, in privately negotiated transactions, or in sales otherwise registered or exempt from registration under the 1933 Act; may distribute Shares to various of its partners; or may engage in any combination of the foregoing. Further, the Filing Persons may enter into derivative transactions or alternative structures with respect to the Shares. Any open market or privately negotiated purchases, sales, distributions or other transactions may be made at any time without additional prior notice. Any alternative that the Filing Persons may pursue will depend upon a variety of factors, including without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices of the Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Issuer and general economic, financial market and industry conditions, other investment and business opportunities available to the Filing Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors. Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Filing Persons with respect to the Issuer, the foregoing is subject to change at any time, and there can be no assurance that any of the Filing Persons will take any of the actions set forth above. Except as set forth above, the Filing Persons have no plans or proposals with respect to any of the matters set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5(c) is hereby amended in its entirety as follows: (c) Since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D, there have been no transactions in the Shares by any of the Filing Persons.
