Loeb, an individual ("Mr. Loeb" and, together with the Management Company, the "Reporting Persons"). This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Insignia Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the "Common Stock" are to such common stock of the Company. The Management Company is the investment manager or adviser to a variety of hedge funds and managed accounts (such funds and accounts, collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds directly own the Common Stock to which this Amendment No. 1 relates, and the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over such Common Stock by virtue of the authority granted to them by the Funds to vote and to dispose of the securities held by the Funds, including the Common Stock. This Amendment No. 1 amends that Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on April 20, 2001 (the "Schedule 13D") and is being filed to report, among other things, that the Reporting Persons no longer hold in excess of 5% of the total outstanding Common Stock. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have such meanings as are ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following: On February 17, 2003, the Company announced that it entered into an agreement to be sold, in a merger transaction, to CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. for a consideration of $11.00 per share of Common Stock in cash and up to $1.00 per share additional consideration under certain circumstances. After such announcement, the Reporting Persons effected sales of shares of Common Stock because of their belief that the inherent risk in the consummation of a transaction of this nature does not justify the potential rate of return that would be achieved by waiting for such consummation. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: (a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the Management Company beneficially owns 91,600 shares of Common Stock. The Management Company shares voting and dispositive power over such holdings with Mr. Loeb and with the Funds. As of October 31, 2002, the Shares represented 0.4% of the total 23,237,690 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2002. None of the individual Funds owns a number of shares of Common Stock equal to or greater than 5% of such total Common Stock outstanding. (b) The Management Company and Mr. Loeb share voting and dispositive power over the 91,600 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds. 4 (c) Schedule A hereto sets forth certain information with respect to transactions by the Funds, at the direction of the Reporting Persons, in the Common Stock during the past sixty days. All of the transactions set forth on Schedule A were effected in open market purchases on the New York Stock Exchange through the Primary Broker. Except as set forth above, during the last sixty days there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their directors, executive officers, general partners or members. (d) Other than the Funds which directly hold the Shares, and except as set forth in this Item 5, no person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares. (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the total outstanding Common Stock on August 30, 2002 with the sale of 100,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 0.4% of the total amount of outstanding Common Stock at such time. 5 Schedule A ---------- (Transactions by the Funds in Common Stock during the past sixty days) Date Action Quantity Price per share Comment 12/31/2002 SELL (49,488) $7.2500 cross trades 12/31/2002 BUY 49,488 $7.2500 cross trades 01/31/2002 SELL (9,545) $8.2400 cross trades 01/31/2002 BUY 9,545 $8.2400 cross trades 02/07/2003 BUY 70,000 $8.4000 02/07/2003 SELL (35,000) $8.5000 02/07/2003 SELL (18,400) $9.7669 02/10/2003 SELL (100,000) $10.9400 02/11/2003 SELL (16,200) $11.0000 02/24/2003 SELL (514,800) $10.8252 02/25/2003 SELL (303,400) $10.7711 SIGNATURES After reasonable inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
