|
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds
As of March 4, 2009, the Reporting Persons had invested $25,011,800 (including commissions) in the
Shares through the Master Fund. The Shares were purchased and are held by the Master Fund. The
source of funds is the working capital of the Master Fund, the Fund, the QP Fund and the Offshore
Fund.
Item 4.
Purpose of the Transaction
The Shares were acquired and are held for investment purposes. The Shares were acquired in the
ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control of the
Issuer.
The Reporting Persons will monitor and evaluate their investment in the Issuer on a continuing
basis and may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors of the Issuer and other
stockholders of the Issuer concerning the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer.
Depending on various factors, including, without limitation (a) the Issuers business, operations,
assets, financial condition and prospects; (b) market, general economic and other conditions; and
(c) other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may
take such actions with respect to this investment as they deem appropriate including, without
limitation, (1) acquiring additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer, (2) making proposals
to the Issuer regarding changes in the capitalization, ownership structure, operations or board
representation, or (3) disposing of some or all of the Shares. Any such additional purchases or
sales of the Shares may be in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Collectively with other large shareholders, together representing close to half of the outstanding
Class A Shares as of March 4, 2009, the Reporting Persons have retained counsel to explore the
legal remedies available to shareholders of the Issuer in connection with related party
transactions involving Magna Entertainment Corp., including whether claims should be asserted
against directors of the Issuer. Such counsel recently sent a letter to the Issuers board of
directors notifying them of such initiative. The parties to such representation have not agreed to
act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the
Issuer, and the Reporting Persons expressly disaffirm the existence of a group among the
Reporting Persons and such shareholders within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act. The
Reporting Persons will make their own voting and investment decisions with respect to the Shares,
independent of any such decision-making by the other shareholders party to such representation.
Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons do not
have any plans or proposals described in clauses (a) (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of
Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may from time to time review or reconsider their plans and
proposals with respect to the Shares.
8
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)
|
|
As of March 9, 2009, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 2,300,000 shares of the Class A
Shares, which represents 5.0% of the Issuers outstanding
Class A Shares (4.983%, rounded to the nearest thousandth). This percentage was
calculated by dividing 2,300,000 by 46,160,564, the number of Class A Shares outstanding as of
September 30, 2008 as set forth in the Issuers Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2008.
|
(b)
|
|
The Reporting Persons have shared power to vote and dispose of the Shares held by the Master
Fund. As the principals of North Run, the GP and the Investment Manager, Messrs. Ellis and
Hammer may direct the vote and disposition of the Shares.
|
(c)
|
|
The trade date, number of Shares, and price per Share (including commissions) for all
purchases and sales of Class A Shares in the 60 days preceding March 4, 2009 by the Reporting
Persons are as follows: 529,744 Shares purchased February 5, 2009 for $5.80 per share and
710,692 Shares purchased February 9, 2009 for $7.55 per share. Such transactions were
open-market transactions effected by the Master Fund.
|
(e)
|
|
Not Applicable, it being acknowledged that, as of the date of this filing, the Reporting
Persons do not beneficially own more than 5% of the Class A Shares.
|
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of
the Issuer
Except as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
(legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons and between such persons and any person with
respect to the securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any
securities of the Issuer, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
