Hellman, Jr., George E. McCown and David E. De Leeuw may be deemed to be members of a group for purposes of this Schedule 13D. The MDC Funds collectively control CFSI and CFS, which has an equity interest in CFSI. MDC Management is the general partner of MDCIV and MDCIVA and, as such, controls MDCIV and MDCIVA. Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw are managing members of MDC Management and, as such, collectively control MDC Management. Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw, collectively, have investment and voting control over any securities held by Delta. | |
(2) | Prior to October 30, 2007, CFSI held 13,532 common units representing limited partner interests (Common Units) and 4,239,782 subordinated units representing limited partner interests (Subordinated Units and together with the Common Units, the Units) in StoneMor Partners L.P. (StoneMor). On October 30, 2007, 1,059,945 of CFSIs 4,239,782 Subordinated Units converted into an equal number of Common Units pursuant to the terms of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of StoneMor, as amended (the Partnership Agreement). On December 7, 2007, CFSI distributed to holders of its Class B units, on a pro rata basis, all 1,073,477 Common Units owned by it, including 912,455 Common Units to CFS, 104,815 Common Units to MDCIV, 1,615 Common Units to MDCIVA and 1,558 Common Units to Delta. Also on December 7, 2007, CFS distributed all the Common Units received by it in the distribution by CFSI, pro rata, to its members, including 798,675 Common Units to MDCIV, 16,975 Common Units to MDCIVA and 12,849 Common Units to Delta. As a result of such distributions, CFSI and CFS owned no Common Units as of December 7, 2007. On December 21, 2007, the MDC Funds sold all of the Common Units held by them as part of the closing of an underwritten offering (the Offering) discussed in the definitive prospectus supplement of StoneMor dated December 17, 2007 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on December 18, 2007, supplementing the prospectus dated December 7, 2007 filed as part of StoneMors registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-144453) with the Commission on July 10, 2007. As a result of these sales, the MDC Funds no longer hold any Common Units as of the date of the filing of this Schedule 13D. | |
(3) | StoneMor is controlled by its general partner, StoneMor GP LLC (the General Partner). The Board of Directors of the General Partner is elected by a plurality vote of its Class A units, all of which are held by CFSI. CFSI continues to hold 3,179,837 Subordinated Units of StoneMor. Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, each Subordinated Unit will convert into one Common Unit at the end of the subordination period, which will end once StoneMor meets the financial tests in the Partnership Agreement, but it generally cannot end before September 30, 2009. Because the tests for ending the subordination period for any three consecutive four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2007 have been satisfied, 25% of the Subordinated Units were converted into an equal number of Common Units on October 30, 2007. Similarly, if those tests are also satisfied for any three consecutive four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2008, an additional 25% of the Subordinated Units will convert into an equal number of Common Units. The second early conversion of Subordinated Units may not occur, however, until at least one year following the end of the period for the first early conversion of Subordinated Units. Each of CFSI and CFS is controlled in part by its Board of Managers. The MDC Entities have the right to designate for election a majority of the managers of the Board of Managers of CFSI pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of CFSI. MDC Management is the general partner of MDCIV and MDCIVA and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own all Units beneficially owned by these entities. Certain key voting and divestiture decisions are made by the unanimous consent of the managing members of MDC Management, who are Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw. Therefore such individuals may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over any Units held by MDCIV and MDCIVA. The MDC Funds also collectively control CFS, which has an equity interest in CFSI. As a result of the foregoing, each of CFS, the MDC Entities and Messrs Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw may be deemed to beneficially own any Units held by CFSI. | |
(4) | On December 21, 2007, the MDC Funds sold all of the Common Units held by them as part of the closing of the Offering. As a result of these sales, the MDC Funds no longer hold any Common Units. However, Messrs. Hellman and McCown each holds 5,000 Common Units directly. |

On December 7, 2007, CFSI distributed to holders of its Class B units, on a pro rata basis, all 1,073,477 Common Units owned by it, including 912,455 Common Units to CFS, 104,815 Common Units to MDCIV, 1,615 Common Units to MDCIVA and 1,558 Common Units to Delta. Also on December 7, 2007, CFS distributed all the Common Units received by it in the distribution by CFSI, pro rata, to its members, including 798,675 Common Units to MDCIV, 16,975 Common Units to MDCIVA and 12,849 Common Units to Delta. As a result of such distributions, CFSI and CFS owned no Common Units as of December 7, 2007. On December 21, 2007, the MDC Funds sold all of the Common Units held by them as part of the closing of an underwritten offering (the Offering) discussed in the definitive prospectus supplement of StoneMor dated December 17, 2007 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on December 18, 2007, supplementing the prospectus dated December 7, 2007 filed as part of StoneMors registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-144453) with the Commission on July 10, 2007. As a result of these sales, the MDC Funds no longer hold any Common Units as of the date of the filing of this Schedule 13D. | |
(3) | StoneMor is controlled by its general partner, StoneMor GP LLC (the General Partner). The Board of Directors of the General Partner is elected by a plurality vote of its Class A units, all of which are held by CFSI. CFSI continues to hold 3,179,837 Subordinated Units of StoneMor. Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, each Subordinated Unit will convert into one Common Unit at the end of the subordination period, which will end once StoneMor meets the financial tests in the Partnership Agreement, but it generally cannot end before September 30, 2009. Because the tests for ending the subordination period for any three consecutive four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2007 have been satisfied, 25% of the Subordinated Units were converted into an equal number of Common Units on October 30, 2007. Similarly, if those tests are also satisfied for any three consecutive four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2008, an additional 25% of the Subordinated Units will convert into an equal number of Common Units. The second early conversion of Subordinated Units may not occur, however, until at least one year following the end of the period for the first early conversion of Subordinated Units. Each of CFSI and CFS is controlled in part by its Board of Managers. The MDC Entities have the right to designate for election a majority of the managers of the Board of Managers of CFSI pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of CFSI. MDC Management is the general partner of MDCIV and MDCIVA and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own all Units beneficially owned by these entities. Certain key voting and divestiture decisions are made by the unanimous consent of the managing members of MDC Management, who are Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw. Therefore such individuals may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over any Units held by MDCIV and MDCIVA. The MDC Funds also collectively control CFS, which has an equity interest in CFSI. As a result of the foregoing, each of CFS, the MDC Entities and Messrs Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw may be deemed to beneficially own any Units held by CFSI. | |
(4) | On December 21, 2007, the MDC Funds sold all of the Common Units held by them as part of the closing of the Offering. As a result of these sales, the MDC Funds no longer hold any Common Units. However, Messrs. Hellman and McCown each holds 5,000 Common Units directly. |

Because the tests for ending the subordination period for any three consecutive four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2007 have been satisfied, 25% of the Subordinated Units were converted into an equal number of Common Units on October 30, 2007. Similarly, if those tests are also satisfied for any three consecutive four-quarter periods ending on or after September 30, 2008, an additional 25% of the Subordinated Units will convert into an equal number of Common Units. The second early conversion of Subordinated Units may not occur, however, until at least one year following the end of the period for the first early conversion of Subordinated Units. Each of CFSI and CFS is controlled in part by its Board of Managers. The MDC Entities have the right to designate for election a majority of the managers of the Board of Managers of CFSI pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of CFSI. MDC Management is the general partner of MDCIV and MDCIVA and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own all Units beneficially owned by these entities. Certain key voting and divestiture decisions are made by the unanimous consent of the managing members of MDC Management, who are Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw. Therefore such individuals may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over any Units held by MDCIV and MDCIVA. The MDC Funds also collectively control CFS, which has an equity interest in CFSI. As a result of the foregoing, each of CFS, the MDC Entities and Messrs Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw may be deemed to beneficially own any Units held by CFSI. | |
(4) | On December 21, 2007, the MDC Funds sold all of the Common Units held by them as part of the closing of the Offering. As a result of these sales, the MDC Funds no longer hold any Common Units. However, Messrs. Hellman and McCown each holds 5,000 Common Units directly. |

| Amendment No. 1 to First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of StoneMor Partners L.P. (Amendment No. 1), effective as of February 27, 2007 (filed as Exhibit 3.3 of StoneMors Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on February 28, 2007); and | ||
| Amendment No. 2 to First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of StoneMor Partners L.P. (Amendment No. 2), effective as of November 13, 2007 (filed as Exhibit 3.1 of StoneMors Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 19, 2007). |
(a) | CFSI LLC owns none of the issued and outstanding Common Units of StoneMor and 3,179,837 Subordinated Units of StoneMor. CFS and each of the other the Filing Parties, including the managing members of MDC Management, Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw, are deemed to also beneficially own these units as a result of their direct or indirect control of CFSI. Additionally, Mr. Hellman and Mr. McCown each owns 5,000 Common Units of StoneMor. As more fully described in Item 6 below, under certain circumstances, the Subordinated Units of StoneMor held directly by CFSI, and held beneficially by the other Filing Parties, are convertible into Common Units on a one-for-one basis. |
Page 22 of 32
The percentage ownership of Common Units beneficially owned by the Filing Parties is calculated based upon dividing Common Units beneficially owned by each of the Filing Parties (5,000 in the case of Messrs. Hellman and McCown) by 8,505,725 issued and outstanding Common Units as of December 24, 2007. |
(b) | CFSI, CFS and each MDC Entity has sole voting and dispositive power over Common Units, if any, held by CFSI. The General Partner of StoneMor owns 2% of the general partner interests of StoneMor. CFSI owns 100% of the Class A units of the General Partner and has the right to elect by plurality vote of the Class A units the Board of Directors of the General Partner. CFSI is controlled in part by its Board of Managers. The MDC Entities have the right to designate for election the managers of the Board of Managers of CFSI pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of CFSI. MDC Management is the general partner of MDCIV and MDCIVA and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own all Common Units beneficially owned by these entities. Certain key voting and divestiture decisions are made by the unanimous consent of the managing members of MDC Management, Messrs. Hellman, McCown and De Leeuw. Therefore, such individuals may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over any Common Units held by the MDC Entities. In addition, Mr. Hellman and Mr. McCown each has sole voting and dispositive power over their respective 5,000 Common Units of StoneMor. | |
(c) | Except as described herein, none of the Filing Parties has effected any transactions in the Common Units during the past 60 days. | |
(d) | Each of the MDC Funds that disposed of Common Units in connection with the Offering received the proceeds therefrom directly. Except for the foregoing, no other Filing Party is known by the Filing Parties to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, Common Units beneficially owned by the Filing Parties. |
Additionally, to the knowledge of the Filing Parties, the following individuals identified on Schedule 1 have sole voting and dispositive power over the number of Common Units listed below, including any Common Units that the individual has the right to aquire within 60 days, as applicable: |
Name | Common Units | Percent of Class | ||||||
Lawrence Miller |
26,930 | 0.3 | % | |||||
William R. Shane |
26,930 | 0.3 | % | |||||
Fenton R. Talbott |

Paul Waimberg |
572 | 0.1 | % | |||||
Martin R. Lautman |
66,819 | 0.8 | % | |||||
John E. Murphy |
| |
(e) | By virtue of the distributions of Common Units made by such entities, on December 7, 2007, each of CFS and CFSI ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of StoneMors Common Units. The other Filing Parties ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of StoneMors Common Units on December 21, 2007 in connection with the sale of Common Units by the MDC Funds pursuant to the Offering. |
