During 2000, (i) LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC, a joint venture between HRC Bond Investors LLC (an Oregon limited liability company) ("HRC Bond Investors LLC") and LB Bond Investors LLC, and (ii) LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC, a joint venture between HRC Bond Investors LLC and LB Bond Investors II LLC, purchased convertible subordinated debentures of the issuer, American Retirement Corporation (the "ACR Bonds"). The Filing Persons disclaim the existence of a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5 with HRC Bond Investors LLC, and any or all of its members: Daniel R. Baty, William E. Colson, Norman L. Brenden, Patrick F. Kennedy, Thilo D. Best and Holiday Retirement Corp., an Oregon corporation (collectively, with HRC Bond Investors LLC, the "HRC Investors"). ------------- On January 11, 2001 Holiday Retirement Corp. purchased shares of Common Stock of the Issuer that would, if the HRC Investors and the Filing Persons were deemed to be a group, result in the deemed beneficial ownership by such group of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. On January 30, 2001, LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC purchased an additional $2,660,000 of 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002 with a conversion price of $24.00 per share, convertible into 110,833 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. During 2001, Lehman Brothers Inc. sold all the 5 3/4% convertible subordinated debentures due 2002 of which it reported beneficial ownership on the Original 13G. As a result, the Filing Persons have determined that Lehman Brothers Inc., a Filing Person with respect to the Original 13G is no longer a beneficial owner of securities of the Issuer and is not, and would not be deemed to be, a member of the group identified in the Original 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-5. The information in this filing with respect to the HRC Investors is, to the best of the Filing Persons' knowledge, accurate. On January 23, 2001, the HRC Investors filed a Schedule 13G with respect to their ownership of securities of the Issuer and reference is made to the more detailed information contained therein, and in any amendments to such Schedules that may be filed in the future. Item 1. (a) NAME OF ISSUER: American Retirement Corporation (b) ADDRESS OF ISSUER'S PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES: 111 Westwood Place, Suite 200 Brentwood, TN 37027 Item 2. (a, b, c) NAME, ADDRESS OF PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OFFICE, AND CITIZENSHIP OF PERSONS FILING (the "Filing Persons"): The principal place of business of all of the filing persons is: c/o Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 399 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022: (i) LB/HRC Bond Investors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. 12 (ii) LB/HRC Bond Investors II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. (iii) LB Bond Investors I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. (iv) LB Bond Investors II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. (v) PAMI LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. (vi) Property Asset Management Inc., a Delaware corporation. (vii) Lehman ALI Inc., a Delaware corporation. (viii) Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation. (ix) Lehman Brother Inc., a Delaware corporation. (d) TITLE OF CLASS OF SECURITIES: Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock") (e) CUSIP NUMBER: 028913-10-1 Item 3.

OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS: Not Applicable Item 6. OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON: Not Applicable Item 7. IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBSIDIARY WHICH ACQUIRED THE SECURITY BEING REPORTED ON BY THE PARENT HOLDING COMPANY: Not Applicable Item 8.
