This Amendment No. 15 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 1993 by Blockbuster Entertainment
Corporation ("BEC"), Blockbuster Pictures Holding Corporation ("Holdings"), SEGI
Holding Company ("SEGI") and Repinvesco, Inc. ("REPI"), as amended (the
"Statement"). This Amendment No. 15 is filed with respect to the shares of
common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Spelling
Entertainment Group Inc. (the "Issuer"), a Delaware corporation, with its
principal executive offices located at 5700 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California 90036. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Statement.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
-----------------------
Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On July 31, 1996, Viacom Inc. ("Viacom") contributed the stock of Holdings
to Viacom International Inc. ("Viacom International"), a Delaware corporation
and a wholly owned subsidiary of Viacom. Viacom International is a diversified
entertainment and publishing company whose executive offices are located at 1515
Broadway, New York, New York 10036.
National Amusements, Inc., of which Sumner M. Redstone is the controlling
shareholder, owns approximately 67% of the voting stock of Viacom. The current
list of executive officers and directors of Viacom International and Viacom are
reported on Schedules I and II hereto, respectively. Each person listed in
Schedules I and II is a United States citizen. During the past five years, none
of Reporting Persons nor any person named in Schedules I and II (i) has been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result was or is subject
to 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.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.
-------------------------------------------------
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: Purchases of Common
Stock pursuant to the program described in Item 4 will be made using working
capital of Viacom International.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
----------------------
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Page 5 of 16
On April 18, 1997, Viacom announced its intention to pursue a program to
purchase, from time to time in the open market, such number of additional shares
of Common Stock as may be necessary to increase the Reporting Persons'
percentage ownership of the Issuer from approximately 75% to approximately 80%,
thereby permitting tax consolidation of the Issuer with Viacom. The Reporting
Persons expect that Viacom will complete such purchasing program by the end of
1997. Except as described in this Item 4 and as may be necessary to maintain
their percentage ownership in the Issuer at approximately 80%, the Reporting
Persons have no present intention of engaging in any of the transactions listed
in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D.
A copy of the press release by Viacom, dated April 18, 1997, relating to
the above-described stock purchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
