Time Warner Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Time
Warner"), Time Warner Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("TWC"), Warner Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation
("WCI") and TWI Ventures Ltd., a Delaware corporation ("TWI
Ltd.") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), hereby amend and
supplement the Amended and Restated Statement on Schedule 13D,
relating to the Hasbro Common Stock dated June 22, 1994, as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24,
1994 by the Reporting Persons, as last amended by Amendment No.
10 dated October 10, 1996 (the "Statement"). Unless otherwise
indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in the Statement. As provided in the
Joint Filing Agreement filed as an Exhibit hereto, the Reporting
Persons have agreed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to file one statement with
respect to their ownership of Hasbro Common Stock.
This amendment to the Statement is being filed to
reflect that as of December 23, 1997, Time Warner, TWC, WCI and
TWI Ltd. are no longer the beneficial owners of any shares of
common stock, par value $.50 per share (the "Hasbro Common
Stock") of Hasbro, Inc. ("Hasbro").
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The response to Item 3 of the Statement is hereby
amended by adding paragraphs nine and ten to read in their
entirety as follows:
7 of 18
"On February 20, 1997, the Board of Directors of Hasbro
declared a three-for-two split on the Hasbro Common Stock (the
"Hasbro Split"), payable in the form of a 50% stock dividend on
March 21, 1997 to all holders of record of Hasbro Common Stock on
March 7, 1997.
As a result of the Hasbro Split, TWI Ltd. became the
holder of record of an additional 6,028,780 shares of Hasbro
Common Stock for a total of 18,086,341 shares of Hasbro Common
Stock or approximately 13.6% of the outstanding Hasbro Common Stock."
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The response to Item 4 of the Statement is hereby
amended by deleting paragraph seven and adding new paragraphs
seven and eight to read in its entirety as follows:
"On December 17, 1997, TWC redeemed for cash all of its
outstanding Liquid Yield Option TM Notes ("LYONS") due 2012 for
approximately $656 million (the "LYONs Redemption").
On December 23, 1997, TWC redeemed all of its
outstanding $1.24 Preferred Exchangeable Redemption Cumulative
Securities ("PERCS") by delivering to the holders of the PERCS
all of the 18,086,341 shares of Hasbro Common Stock (the "PERCS
Exchange") held of record by TWI Ltd. The PERCS were
exchangeable at the option of the holder of such PERCS into
Hasbro Common Stock and redeemable, at the option of TWC, in
shares of Hasbro Common Stock
8 of 18
or cash. As a result of the LYONs Redemption and PERCS Exchange,
Time Warner, TWC, WCI and TWI Ltd. are no longer the beneficial
owners of any shares of Hasbro Common Stock."
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The response to Item 5 of the Statement is hereby
amended and supplemented by inserting the following as the eighth
and ninth paragraphs:
"On March 16, 1992, TW Corp. (which subsequently merged
into WCI) received 4,019,187 shares of Hasbro Common Stock as a
result of a three-for-two-Stock Split.
On March 21, 1997, TWI Ltd. received 6,028,780 shares
of Hasbro Common Stock as a result of the Hasbro Split."
Paragraphs ten through twelve (formerly paragraphs
eight through ten) of Item 5 of the Statement are hereby amended
to read in their entirety as follows:
"According to Hasbro's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, there were outstanding
as of October 31, 1997, 133,920,853 shares of Hasbro Common
Stock. Prior to the LYONs Redemption and PERCS Exchange, the
18,086,341 shares of Hasbro Common Stock held by TWI Ltd. and
beneficially owned by Time Warner, TWC
9 of 18
and WCI, constituted approximately 13.6% of the outstanding Hasbro
Common Stock. As a result of the LYONs Redemption and PERCS
Exchange, zero (0) shares of Hasbro Common Stock are held of record
by TWI Ltd. and beneficially owned by Time Warner, TWC and WCI.
Except as described herein, none of Time Warner, TWC,
WCI or TWI Ltd. is aware of any beneficial ownership of, or any
transaction within 60 days before the filing of this Statement
in, any shares of Hasbro Common Stock by Time Warner, TWC, WCI,
TWI Ltd. or any person listed in Annexes A, B, C, or D hereto."
Item 7. Material to be filed as Exhibits.
Item 7 of the Statement is hereby amended to include
Exhibit Q to read in its entirety as follows:
