CUSIP NO. 559079108 SCHEDULE 13D Page 7 of 10 This Amendment No. 5 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 8, 2002 by Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership ("Blum L.P."); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); Blum Strategic GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP"); Blum Strategic Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Strategic"), and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a managing member of Blum GP (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This amendment relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.25 (the "Common Stock") of Magellan Health Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 6950 Columbia Gateway Drive, Suite 400, Columbia, Maryland 21046. The following amendments are hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer --------------------------------------------- (a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q, there were 35,138,686 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2002. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report the following direct holdings of the Common Stock and corresponding percentage interest of total shares outstanding: (i) Strategic reports direct holdings of 836,600 shares of the Common Stock (2.4%); (ii) Blum LP and RCBA Inc. report holdings of 477,600 shares of the Common Stock (1.4%) owned directly by the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner and Blum LP's investment advisory client accounts; and (iii) Mr. Blum reports the aggregate of these shares for a total of 1,314,200 shares of the Common Stock, which represents 3.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. In addition, because Blum LP has voting and investment power with respect to 48,100 shares that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the account of its Multi-Strategy Equity Fund ("The Common Fund"), those shares are reported as beneficially owned by Blum LP. The Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of managing investments for educational institutions. The principal administrative office of The Common Fund is located at 15 Old Danbury Road, Wilton, Connecticut 06897-0812. The Common Fund disclaims membership in a group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Reporting Persons. Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum LP and Blum GP. CUSIP NO. 559079108 SCHEDULE 13D Page 8 of 10 The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,362,300 shares of the Common Stock, which is 3.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. As Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. Mr. Blum may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum GP has voting and investment power. Although Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc., or managing members and members of Blum GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. or Blum GP, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein. The outstanding voting stock of the Issuer as reported on the most recent 10-Q does not include 59,063 outstanding shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock that has a right to approximately 6,300,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock and votes on an 'as converted' basis. See Note L ("Redeemable Preferred Stock") in the Issuer's audited historical financial statements contained in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002. Were the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted to common stock and included in the outstanding shares of the Issuer, the Issuer would have had 41,438,739 outstanding shares as of July 31, 2002 and the Reporting Persons would have owned 3.3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Issuer. (c) Since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons sold the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share ------ ---------- ------- ----------- Blum LP's limited partnership 10-16-02 77,200 0.03050 and investment advisory client 10-17-02 308,800 0.03400 accounts (including The Common Fund) 10-18-02 385,900 3.85000 The limited partnership for 10-16-02 122,800 0.03050 which Strategic serves as 10-17-02 491,200 0.03400 the general partner 10-18-02 614,100 3.85000 (d) Not applicable. (e) As of October 18, 2002, the Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Common Stock. Item 7.
