4 Page 4 of 17 Pages The Schedule 13D previously filed by the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employes Pension Trust (the "Hourly Trust"), the General Motors Salaried Employes Pension Trust (the "Salaried Trust") and General Motors Investment Management Corporation (collectively, the "Original Reporting Persons") with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Manufactured Home Communities, Inc. (the "Original Statement") is hereby amended and supplemented as follows (capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Original Statement): ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. ----------------------- Item 2 of the Original Statement is hereby amended as follows: (a)-(c), (f) This statement is filed by General Motors Employes Global Group Pension Trust (the "Trust Fund"), a trust formed pursuant to the laws of the State of New York under and for the benefit of certain retirement plans of General Motors Corporation ("GM") and its subsidiaries and a former GM affiliate and its subsidiaries (the "Plans"); General Motors Investment Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("GMIMCo"), for itself and with respect to the former Pension Investment Committee of GM (the "PIC"); the Hourly Trust and the Salaried Trust. The Trust Fund and GMIMCo (acting for itself) are referred to herein as the "Reporting Persons". The business address of the Trust Fund is c/o State Street Bank & Trust Company, One Enterprise Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171. The business address of GMIMCo is (and of the former PIC was) 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153. The business address of GM, a Delaware corporation engaged in automobile manufacturing, is 300 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48265-3000. The assets of the Trust Fund, including the Company's Shares described herein, are held by State Street Bank & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the "Trustee"). A portion of the assets of the Hourly Trust and the Salaried Trust (including all of the Shares) were transferred from each such trust to the Trust Fund as of January 1, 1999. Under the trust agreement appointing the Trustee, the Trustee may act for the Trust Fund with respect to the Shares only pursuant to direction as described in the next sentence. The Trustee may vote and dispose of the Shares held by the Trust Fund only pursuant to the direction of GMIMCo personnel. Because the Trustee is without authority to vote or direct the voting of the Shares or to dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares, except as so directed, it disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares and no information regarding the Trustee is contained in this Amendment No. 1. The principal business of GMIMCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM, is to oversee and supervise the management of, and to provide investment advice and investment management services with respect to, the assets of certain employee benefit plans of GM and its subsidiaries and former affiliates, as well as to provide investment advice and investment management services with respect to the assets of certain subsidiaries of GM and associated entities.
5 Page 5 of 17 Pages Prior to its dissolution on November 7, 1994, the PIC was a committee established by and whose members were appointed by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of GM, acting in its capacity as a named fiduciary with respect to the Plans under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The PIC was comprised of eight officers of GM or its subsidiaries. The primary responsibility of the PIC was to oversee and supervise the management of the assets of the Plans. The beneficiaries of the Trust Fund are certain trusts established under the Plans. These trusts and other trusts established under the Plans invest in a variety of investment media, including privately placed and publicly traded securities. Such investments could include the Shares and/or other securities of the Company in addition to those referred to in this Amendment No. 1 (the "Additional Securities"). The investment and voting decisions regarding any Additional Securities of the Company which might be owned by such trusts are made by unrelated investment managers, who, in so acting, act independently of the Reporting Persons. None of the Reporting Persons has or shares voting power or investment power over any Additional Securities of the Company which might be held by such trusts under the Plans. No information regarding any such holdings by such trusts under the Plans is contained in this Amendment 1. Appendix A, which is incorporated herein by reference, sets forth the following information with respect to the executive officers and directors of each of GMIMCo and GM: (i) name, (ii) business address, (iii) present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or organization in which such employment is conducted, and (iv) citizenship. (d)-(e) During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, GM or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons identified on Appendix A has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such entity or person 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 finding any violation with respect to such laws. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION ---------------------- Item 3 of the Original Statement is hereby supplemented as follows: The Hourly Trust and the Salaried Trust purchased 100,000 Shares (in the aggregate) directly from the Company on September 29, 1993 in connection with the closing of a public offering by the Company. The foregoing purchase is described in more detail in the Company's registration on Form S-3 (File No. 33-67750). The Company effected a 2 for 1 stock split on April 22, 1994.
6 Page 6 of 17 Pages ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. ------------------------------------- Item 5(a)-(d) of the Original Statement is hereby supplemented as follows: (a)-(b) As of the date of this Statement, the General Motors Employes Global Group Pension Trust, by virtue of its beneficial ownership of 2,271,198 Shares, may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 13d-3")) such 2,271,198 Shares, representing approximately 10.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of March 31, 2000. As of the date of this Statement, GMIMCo, by virtue of the power of its personnel to direct the Trustee as to the voting and disposition of the Shares held by the Trust Fund may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3) all 2,271,198 Shares the Trust Fund holds, as set forth above, representing approximately 10.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of March 31, 2000. Neither GM nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons named in Appendix A owns beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3) any Shares. (c) Except as set forth in Item 3 and subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons, nor to the best of its knowledge, GM or any person named in Appendix A, has effected any transactions in the Shares during the past 60 days. (d) The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of GM and GMIMCo have the authority to direct the Trustee to make payments from the Trust Fund (which may include dividends from or proceeds from the sale of the Shares held by the Trust Fund) to other trusts under the Plans and to other persons.
