1 The percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based upon the 127,771,070 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2010, as reported in Owens Cornings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed
on December 19, 2006 as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated June 20, 2007 (as amended, the Amended
Schedule 13D), and is being filed jointly on behalf of the Owens Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos
Personal Injury Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the Trust), formed pursuant to the Owens
Corning/Fibreboard Asbestos Personal Injury Trust Agreement dated October 31, 2006 (as amended, the
Trust Agreement), the PI Trust Advisory Committee, a committee established under the Trust
Agreement (the TAC), and Michael J. Crames, in his capacity as the Future Claimants
Representative under the Trust Agreement, an individual empowered under the Trust Agreement to
represent the interests of future holders of asbestos personal injury claims (each, a Reporting
Person, and, collectively, the Reporting Persons), relating to the common stock, par value $0.01
per share (Common Stock), of Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation (Owens Corning). The
purpose of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is primarily to report a change in the share
ownership as a result of the sale by the Trust of 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock in an
underwritten registered public offering and to report the other matters set forth below. An
aggregate of 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock were sold at the closing on March 2, 2010 at
a net price to the Trust of $22.8594 per share.
Unless otherwise defined or modified below, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 to
Schedule 13D shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Amended Schedule 13D.
All disclosure for items contained in the Amended Schedule 13D where no new information is
provided for such item in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by this
reference.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following two paragraphs at
the end thereof:
At the time of the filing of the Amended Schedule 13D, Theodore Goldberg, Esq. was serving as
a member of the TAC. Mr. Goldberg resigned from his position as a member of the TAC on July 1,
2009 pursuant to section 5.3(b) of the Trust Agreement and is no longer a Reporting Person. Also
effective July 1, 2009, Mr. Goldberg appointed Mark C. Meyer, Esq. as his successor pursuant to
section 5.4 of the Trust Agreement and Mr. Meyer agreed to serve as the successor member of the
TAC. Unless the context otherwise requires, effective after July 1, 2009, references in the
Amended Schedule 13D and herein to the TAC should be deemed to include Mr. Meyer as a member,
serving in such capacity, and not to Mr. Goldberg, and Mr. Meyer, in his capacity as a member of
the TAC, is a Reporting Person.
Mr. Meyer is a member of the law firm of Goldberg, Persky & White. During the last five
years, Mr. Meyer has not been (1) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
or similar misdemeanors) or (2) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body
of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding has been 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.
Schedule I to the Amended Schedule 13D, which is incorporated by reference, is hereby amended
by deleting reference to Mr. Goldberg therein and inserting in lieu thereof:
|
1. |
|
Mark C. Meyer |
|
|
2. |
|
Goldberg, Persky & White PC
132 Jackson Street
Johnstown, Pennsylvania 15901 |

|
Mr. Meyers principal occupation is as an attorney and member of the law firm of
Goldberg, Persky & White at the address listed above. |

United States |
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the
end thereof:
On February 24, 2010, the Trust entered into a purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement)
with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J. P. Morgan Securities as the
representatives (the Representatives) of several underwriters (collectively including the
Representatives, the Underwriters) pursuant to which:
(1) the Trust agreed to sell 12,261,000 shares of
Common Stock to the Underwriters at $23.75 per share less an underwriting discount of $0.8906 per
share in a registered underwritten public offering, and (2) the Trust granted an
over-allotment option to the Underwriters up to 1,839,000 shares of Common Stock at the same
pricing. On March 1, 2010 the Underwriters exercised the
over-allotment option in full. The Trust sold an aggregate of
14,100,000 shares of Common Stock to the Underwriters at the closing
on March 2, 2010. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Trust entered into a letter agreement (the Lock-up
Agreement) with the Representatives pursuant to which the Trust agreed that, for the 180-day
period after February 24, 2010, the Trust will not, without the prior written consent of the
Representatives, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or
otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of Common Stock or exercise any right with respect to
the registration of any shares of Common Stock or enter into any swap or other agreement or
transaction that transfers, in whole or part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequences of
the ownership of the Common Stock.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:
(a) The
Trust is the beneficial owner of 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock. Neither the TAC
nor the FCR own any shares of Common Stock. However, the TAC and the FCR may be deemed to be part
of a group of persons (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) with the Trust and, therefore, may also be deemed to be the beneficial
owners of the 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock, individually and as a group. Based on Owens
Cornings Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, there were 127,771,070 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 31,
2010, the 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Trust represent approximately
11.04% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the TAC and the FCR expressly disclaim beneficial
ownership of the 14,100,000
shares of Common Stock and this Statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission by
the TAC, the members of the TAC or the FCR that such persons are the beneficial owners for any
purpose of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D.
(b) The Trust (acting through its Trustees), the TAC (acting through its members) and the FCR
may be deemed to share the power to vote 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock solely due to the
consent rights of the TAC and the FCR under the Trust Agreement with respect to the manner in which
the Trust (i) votes the Common Stock exclusively for the purpose of electing members of the Owens
Corning Board of Directors, and (ii) votes for any revision to Owens Cornings corporate charter
and by-laws, which affect the rights of the Trust. Neither the TAC nor the FCR have any other
power to vote or direct the vote of shares of the Common Stock reported herein. The Trust has the
sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of all of the shares of Common Stock reported
herein, and neither the TAC nor the FCR have any power to dispose or direct the disposition of such
shares of Common Stock.
(c) Except
for the sale of 14,100,000 shares of Common Stock on March 2, 2010 by the Trust to the Representatives
under the Purchase Agreement as described in Item 4 above, none of the Trust, the Trustees, the
TAC, the members of the TAC nor the FCR has engaged in any transactions in the Common Stock that
were effected during the past sixty days.
(d) No person, other than the Trust, has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends from, or the profits from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Trust.
(e) On July 1, 2009, Mr. Goldberg resigned from his position as a member of the TAC pursuant
to section 5.3(b) of the Trust Agreement and as of such date may no longer be deemed to be (i) part
of a group of persons (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder) with the Trust, the TAC and the FCR or (ii) the beneficial owner of the shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Trust.
