CUSIP NO. 000918 102
This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10,
1999 (the "Schedule 13D") by Aon Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Aon"),
Aon Advisors, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Advisors"), Combined Insurance
Company of America, an Illinois corporation ("CICA"), and Combined Specialty
Insurance Company, an Illinois corporation, formerly known as Virginia Surety
Company ("CSIC", and together with Aon, Advisors and CICA, the "Filing Persons")
as previously amended. The Schedule 13D as previously amended and this Amendment
relate to the Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of ACM Government Opportunity
Fund, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Items 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D as previously amended are
hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
ITEM 2. IDENTIFY AND BACKGROUND
This Schedule is being filed on behalf of Aon Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Aon"), Aon Advisors, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("Aon
Advisors"), Combined Insurance Company of America, an Illinois corporation
("CICA"), and Combined Specialty Insurance Company, Inc., an Illinois
corporation formerly known as Virginia Surety Company ("CSIC"). Aon Advisors,
CICA and CSIC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Aon. Aon, Aon Advisors, CICA
and CSIC are sometimes referred to herein as the "Filing Persons."
Aon is a publicly held insurance holding company which, through
subsidiaries, is a major provider of insurance, insurance brokerage, insurance
underwriting, consulting and related services. Aon Advisors is a company
incorporated under the laws of the State of Virginia which serves as an
investment advisor to Aon, CICA, CSIC and their affiliates. CICA is a stock
life insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois and
domiciled therein. CICA, together with its insurance subsidiaries, is a
leading worldwide provider of supplemental accident and health insurance and
life insurance products for individuals and also provides institutional
investment and annuity products. CSIC is a stock life insurance company
incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois. CSIC, together with its
insurance subsidiaries, is a leading worldwide provider of consumer extended
warranty insurance and offers specialty insurance products.
The Filing Persons share the same principal office and business
address, 200 East Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois 60601.
Aon is a parent holding company in accordance with section
240.13d-1(b)(ii)(G) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Aon Advisors is an investment adviser registered under
section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. CICA and CSIC
are insurance companies as defined in section 3(a)(19) of the Exchange Act.
During the past five years, none of the Filing Persons, and none of
any of their executive officers or directors, have been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or have been
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction resulting in 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.
The names, addresses, offices and citizenship of the directors and
officers of each of the Filing Persons (except for CSIC, which will cease to be
a Filing Person upon the filing of this Amendment) are set forth on Annex I
hereto.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Subject to market conditions and limitations imposed by the securities
laws, the Filing Persons have determined to implement a program to reduce their
holdings of shares of Common Stock in open-market or other transactions over the
longer term.
Except as set forth above, none of the Filing Persons has any current
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any matter described in
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act. The
Filing Persons may, in the future, for any reason and in their sole discretion,
change such intentions and/or formulate additional plans and proposals relating
to one or more matters described in such paragraphs.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
See rows 7 through 11 and row 13 on pages 2 through 5.
The Issuer's Quarterly Report dated June 27, 2003 states that, as of
April 30, 2003, there were 12,774,253 shares of Common Stock outstanding. The
percentage ownership of Aon, Aon Advisors, CICA and CSIC was derived using this
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between Aon Advisors and
CICA, Aon Advisors is invested in, on behalf of and as investment adviser to
CICA, 4,155,636 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory
Agreement between Aon Advisors and CSIC, Aon Advisors has in the past invested
in, on behalf of and as investment advisor to CSIC, certain additional shares of
Common Stock. CSIC, however, no longer owns any shares of Common Stock, and
thus, by the filing of this Amendment, will cease to be a Filing Person. Because
Aon is the parent holding company to CICA, Aon indirectly beneficially owns all
shares of Common Stock held by CICA.
By reason of the purchases of Common Stock made on behalf of CICA, as
of the date of this Amendment, Aon, Aon Advisors and CICA share the power to
vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of
4,155,636 shares of Common Stock, or 32.5% of the total outstanding shares of
Common Stock as of April 30, 2003.
During the sixty day period preceding the date of this Amendment, none
of the Filing Persons effected any transactions in any shares of Common Stock
other than the following sales by Aon Advisors on behalf of CICA:
