SCHEDULE 13D
This statement, which is being filed by Vulcan Ventures Incorporated, a
Washington corporation ("Vulcan Ventures"), Charter Communications Ventures,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Charter Ventures"), Charter
Communications Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Charter
Holdings"), Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("Charter Holdco"), Charter Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Charter" and together with Charter Ventures, Charter Holdings and
Charter Holdco, the "Charter Reporting Persons"), and Paul G. Allen, the
Chairman, President and sole shareholder of Vulcan Ventures and the Chairman of
Charter ("Mr. Allen", and together with Vulcan Ventures and the Charter
Reporting Persons, the "Reporting Persons"), constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the
Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") on June 21, 1999, on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D"), as amended by
Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on June 28, 1999, Amendment No. 2 filed with
the SEC on August 24, 1999, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on November 17,
2000 and Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on December 13, 2000. The Schedule
13D relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of High Speed Access
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The item numbers and responses
thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 13D.
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning set forth
in the Schedule 13D.
Each of the Reporting Persons acknowledges responsibility with respect to
the information provided as to such signatory, but assumes no responsibility
with respect to the information provided as to any other signatory.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
On July 31, 2001, Charter proposed to the Issuer the acquisition by Charter
of the turnkey contract and network services agreement between Charter and the
Issuer and the assets used by the Issuer to service those agreements, including
the Issuer's call center and network operations center in Louisville, Kentucky
and all equipment owned by the Issuer in Charter headends and customer homes.
The proposed purchase price for those assets would be approximately $73 million,
consisting of cash and the assumption of certain liabilities, subject to certain
adjustments. As part of the transaction, Charter would tender to the Issuer for
cancellation the 38,000 shares and 37,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock
held by Vulcan Ventures and Charter Ventures, respectively. Charter proposes to
effectuate that delivery by acquiring the shares of Series D Preferred Stock
held by Vulcan Ventures immediately prior to the closing of the transaction. See
Item 6. Charter's proposal has not been accepted by the Issuer and is subject to
a number of conditions, including approval by the boards of directors of Charter
and the Issuer, approval by the stockholders of the Issuer, third party
consents, satisfactory completion of due diligence and negotiation of definitive
agreements. In connection with the making of the proposal, William D. Savoy,
Jerald L. Kent and Stephen E. Silva, who served as designees of Vulcan Ventures
and Charter Ventures on the Issuer's board of directors, have resigned as
Directors of the Issuer. See Item 5.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:
(a) As of the date of this Amendment, Vulcan Ventures, Mr. Allen and
each of the Charter Reporting Persons beneficially own 27,798,278 shares,
37,750,198 shares and 9,951,920 shares, respectively, of the Issuer's common
stock. Such shares include 7,576,139 shares and 7,376,767 shares of common stock
that may be obtained upon conversion (at the conversion price in effect as of
the date hereof) of the 38,000 shares and 37,000 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock held by Vulcan Ventures and Charter Ventures, respectively, and the shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2,575,153 warrants held by
Charter. The above conversion numbers for the Series D Preferred Stock are based
on a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series D Preferred Stock and
a conversion price of $5.01875 per share of common stock.
Vulcan Ventures', Mr. Allen's and the Charter Reporting Persons'
stockholdings, assuming immediate conversion of all of the shares of Series D
Preferred Stock into shares of common stock and exercise of the warrants,
represent approximately 36.5%, 49.5% and 13.1%, respectively, of the shares of
the Issuer's common stock outstanding, including shares issuable on such
conversion and exercise. But see Item 6.
All of the percentages set forth in this Item 5(a) are based upon
