CUSIP NO. 452926-10-8 13D/22A Page 7 of 11
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
This Amendment No. 22 to Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the
shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares") of INCOME
OPPORTUNITY REALTY INVESTORS, INC., a Nevada corporation ("IOT" or the "Issuer")
and further amends the original Statement on Schedule 13D as amended by
Amendment Nos. 1 through 21 thereof (the "Amended Statement") filed by and on
behalf of the "Reporting Persons" described below. The principal executive
offices of IOT are located at 1800 Valley View Lane, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas
75234. The CUSIP number of the shares is 452926-10-8.
This Amendment No. 22 is being filed to reflect various changes in the
information contained in the Amended Statement, including a press release
announcing a proposed tender offer of the Issuer's Shares. Income Opportunity
Acquisition Corporation ("IOT Acquisition Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American Realty Investors, Inc., ("ARL") is planning to offer to purchase any or
all outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
Item 2 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:
Collene C. Currie is no longer a director of ARL.
On September 24, 2002 the SEC filed a civil complaint, Civil Action No.
1:02CV01872 (D.D.C.), in a lawsuit styled Securities and Exchange Commission v.
Basic Capital Management, Inc. and Gene E. Phillips, and the SEC issued an Order
Instituting Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), Making Findings and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order,
In The Matter of Basic Capital Management, Inc., Nevada Sea Investments, Inc.,
International Health Products, Inc., One Realco Corporation, TacCO Financial,
Inc. and Gene E. Phillips (Administrative Proceedings File No. 3-10898,
Administrative Procedure Release No. 46538). In anticipation of the Order, Mr.
Gene E. Phillips, Basic Capital Management, Inc. ("BCM") and four corporations
affiliated with Mr. Phillips or the trust for his children that indirectly owns
BCM (Nevada Sea Investments, Inc., International Health Products, Inc., One
Realco Corporation and TacCO Financial, Inc.) (together, the "Respondents")
submitted an Offer of Settlement and consented, without admitting or denying any
of the allegations, to the entry of a judgment ordering Mr. Phillips and BCM to
pay a civil penalty of $850,000.
The Order finds, among other things, that the Respondents violated
Section 10(b) and 13(d) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and Rules 10b-5, 13d-1
and 13d-2 promulgated thereunder, by failing to timely file reports required
under Section 13(d) with respect to the securities of Greenbriar Corporation.
Although none of the Respondents purchased more than five percent of
Greenbriar's outstanding shares, their holdings together with the holdings of
ART amounted to approximately 16.1% by June 1997. Between May 1996 and June
1997, the Respondents and ART accounted for approximately 54% of the total
trading volume in Greenbriar stock. On particular days during the period, the
Respondents bought all the Greenbriar stock traded. The Order requires the
Respondents
CUSIP NO. 452926-10-8 13D/22A Page 8 of 11
to cease and desist from committing or causing any violation of Sections 10(b)
and 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5, 13d-1 and 13d-2 promulgated
thereunder.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Item 3 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:
ARL currently does not have sufficient cash to pay for the purchase of
IOT's Shares and related expenses of a tender offer. If the tender offer takes
place, ARL expects to pay for Shares tendered from cash on hand at the time
tendered Shares are accepted and from borrowings. ARL expects to obtain this
financing through refinancing existing indebtedness on its various real estate
holdings, which it typically does in the ordinary course of its business, and by
borrowing money from financial institutions with repayment secured by pledges of
some of its real estate holdings. Although it does not have any firm commitments
for either refinancings or new borrowings, it has had numerous discussions with
existing lenders regarding refinancings of properties in Palm Desert,
California; Tallahassee, Florida; Farmers Branch, Texas; Lincoln, Nebraska;
Denver, Colorado; Fresno, California; Nashville, Tennessee and Sofia, Bulgaria,
among others.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:
At the close of the market on November 7, 2002, ARL announced that it
intends to commence, through subsidiaries, a tender offer for shares of common
stock of its affiliates TCI and IOT. ARL expects to commence the tender offer on
or before November 15, 2002. ARL is proposing to make a tender offer through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, IOT Acquisition Sub, in order to comply with its
obligations under a court-approved settlement agreement of certain litigation
against Transcontinental Realty Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), IOT and certain of
their affiliates known as Jack Olive, et. al. v. National Income Realty Trust,
et. al., Case No. C89 4331 MHP pending in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of California. The parties to the litigation have entered
into a settlement agreement, after arms length negotiation, providing that ARL
would propose a merger with IOT pursuant to which stockholders of IOT (other
than Mr. Phillips, BCM, ARL, TCI and ART) would receive $19.00 in cash for each
of their shares of the common stock of IOT or, at their option, a share of the
preferred stock of ARL in lieu of cash.
In order to propose the merger transaction to the stockholders of IOT,
ARL was required to prepare a registration statement and proxy statement and
submit it for review to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The settlement
agreement required that the review process be completed by March 31, 2002,
unless extended by Settlement Counsel, George Donaldson. That process has not
yet been completed. In the event that ARL is in default of its obligations under
the settlement agreement to propose and consummate the merger, it may cure its
default by making a tender offer for the share of TCI's
CUSIP NO. 452926-10-8 13D/22A Page 9 of 11
and IOT's common stock. In discussions with Settlement Counsel on Friday,
November 1, 2002, representatives of ARL agreed to announce a tender offer for
the shares of TCI's and IOT's common stock on November 7, 2002 and commence the
offers not later than November 15, 2002. ARL did in fact announce a proposed
tender offer on November 7, 2002 and plans to commence the tender offer on
November 15, 2002. If ARL successfully completes the tender offer, ARL will not
be liable for liquidated damages under the settlement agreement. ARL will defer
further action on the proposed mergers during the pendency of the offer. If the
offer is consummated for less than all of the Shares of IOT held by persons
other than affiliates of ARL, ARL currently expects to pursue the merger after
the consummation of the offer. Depending on the number of IOT Shares tendered in
the offer, IOT's Shares could become eligible for delisting from the American
Stock Exchange and for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the Exchange Act.
Except with respect to the proposed tender and the proposed merger
offer described above, and any ancillary effect same would have on the following
items, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals that relate to
or would result in:
(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of IOT or any of
its subsidiaries (except that as part of the tender offer certain real property
assets owned by the Issuer may be sold);
(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of IOT,
including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to
fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of IOT;
(f) Any other material change in IOT's business or corporate structure;
(g) Changes in IOT's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of IOT by
any person (except that the Reporting Persons' collective ownership of 59.9% of
the outstanding Shares would itself be an impediment to any potential change of
control not approved by the Reporting Persons);
(h) Causing a class of securities of IOT to be delisted from a national
securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer
quotation system of a registered national securities association (except that,
depending on the number of Shares tendered, IOT's Shares may no longer be
eligible for listing on a national securities exchange);
(i) A class of equity securities of IOT becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act, as
amended (except that if the tender offer reduced the number of common
stockholders of IOT to a number below 300, such Shares would then become
eligible for termination of registration); or
CUSIP NO. 452926-10-8 13D/22A Page 10 of 11
(j) Any actions similar to any of those enumerated above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) No modification.
(b) No modification.
(c) No modification.
(d) No modification.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 6 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended as follows:
Pursuant to the settlement agreement, which is discussed in Item 4,
ARL, BCM, Mr. Phillips, TCI. and stockholders affiliated with those parties who
in the aggregate own a total of 59.9% of the IOT common stock have orally agreed
with IOT Acquisition Sub not to tender shares of IOT common stock owned by them
in the tender offer.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
Item 7 of the Amended Statement is hereby further amended to add the
following exhibit:
