CUSIP No. 178666 10 3 SCHEDULE 13D Page 8 of 12 Pages
This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D, as previously amended,
filed by Ellen B. Kurtzman, Delv, L.P. (the "Partnership"), Trust FBO Ellen B.
Kurtzman under The 2002 Farber Children's Trusts dated December 12, 2002 (the
"EBK Trust"), Trust FBO David M. Farber under The 2002 Farber Children's Trusts
dated December 12, 2002 (the "DMF Trust," and together with the EBK Trust, the
"Children's Trusts"), The Jack Farber 2003 Irrevocable Trust dated December 15,
2003 (the "Jack Farber Trust") and The Vivian Farber 2003 Irrevocable Trust
dated December 15, 2003 (the "Vivian Farber Trust") with respect to the common
stock, par value $.10 per share ("Common Stock") of CSS Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("CSS").
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Ellen B. Kurtzman may be deemed to beneficially own 2,466,175 shares of
Common Stock (23.8 percent of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of CSS,
based upon information provided by the CSS indicating that 10,384,534 shares of
Common Stock were issued and outstanding on March 16, 2005). Of that amount, she
has sole voting and investment power with regard to 2,135,275 shares and shared
voting and investment power with regard to 330,900 shares. The shares as to
which Ellen B. Kurtzman has sole voting and investment power are as follows:
o 83,667 shares of Common Stock owned directly.
o 136,776 shares of Common Stock held by the Farber Family
Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (the "Farber Charitable Trust"), of
which Ellen B. Kurtzman is the sole trustee.
o 750,000 shares of Common Stock (7.2 percent of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock of CSS) owned by the Partnership. Ellen
B. Kurtzman exercises voting and investment power through Delv,
Inc. (the "General Partner"), a Delaware corporation and general
partner of the Partnership, which has the sole voting and
investment power with regard to the shares of Common Stock owned
by the Partnership. One-half of the outstanding common stock of
the General Partner is held by each of the Children's Trusts, for
which Ellen B. Kurtzman serves as sole trustee. As a result, the
Children's Trusts may be deemed to have shared voting and
investment power with regard to the 750,000 shares held by the
Partnership. Ellen B. Kurtzman also is the sole director of the
General Partner and serves as the President, Secretary and
Treasurer of the General Partner. In that capacity, Ellen B.
Kurtzman has the power to act on behalf of the General Partner to
vote and dispose of shares held by the Partnership. The General
Partner holds a 0.1 percent interest in the Partnership, and the
remaining 99.9 percent interest in the Partnership is owned by
the 2003 Farber Family Trust (the "2003 Trust"), of which Ellen
B. Kurtzman is the sole trustee. Because the limited partners of
the Partnership, in their capacity as limited partners, do not
have power to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock held
by the Partnership, the 2003 Trust is not deemed to have voting
or investment power with respect to the Common Stock held by the
Partnership. The 2003 Trust does not otherwise have voting or
investment power with respect to any shares of Common Stock.
CUSIP No. 178666 10 3 SCHEDULE 13D Page 9 of 12 Pages
o 765,151 shares (7.4 percent of the issued and outstanding stock
of CSS) held by the Jack Farber Trust, of which Ellen B. Kurtzman
is the sole trustee and Jack Farber is the sole beneficiary.
o 351,042 shares held by the Vivian Farber Trust, of which Ellen B.
Kurtzman is the sole trustee and Vivian Farber is the sole
beneficiary.
Ellen B. Kurtzman may also be deemed to have sole voting and investment
power with respect to 48,639 shares held by the Farber Family Foundation, Inc.,
a charitable foundation (the "Farber Family Foundation"). As a matter of policy,
the Farber Family Foundation does not vote the shares of Common Stock that it
owns. Although she is including shares held by the Farber Family Foundation in
her beneficial ownership for purposes of this Amendment No. 4, Ellen B. Kurtzman
continues to disclaim any beneficial ownership in the shares held by the Farber
Family Foundation.
In addition, Ellen B. Kurtzman shares voting and investment power with
respect to the following shares of common stock:
o 83,475 shares of Common Stock owned by trusts for the benefit of
two of her children, for which she serves as co-trustee with her
mother.
o 89,714 shares of Common Stock owned by two trusts (the "Two
Trusts"), one for the benefit of her son and one for the benefit
of her nephew, for which she serves as co-trustee with her
brother.
Ellen B. Kurtzman may also be deemed to share voting and investment
power with regard to 157,711 shares owned by the Farber Family Foundation. Ellen
B. Kurtzman, Jack Farber, her father, Vivian Farber, her mother and David M
Farber, her brother are members, officers and directors of the Farber Family
Foundation. As noted above, as a matter of policy, the Farber Family Foundation
does not vote the shares of Common Stock that it owns. Ellen B. Kurtzman
disclaims any beneficial ownership in the shares held by the Farber Family
Foundation. Additional information relating to Jack Farber, Vivian Farber and
David M. Farber is set forth in Appendix A to this schedule.
CUSIP No. 178666 10 3 SCHEDULE 13D Page 10 of 12 Pages
On February 23, 2005, the Jack Farber Trust contributed 100,000 shares
of Common Stock to Jack Farber.
In connection with an issuer tender offer by CSS, which was completed
on March 16, 2005, Ellen B. Kurtzman sold 77,920 shares of Common Stock; the
Farber Family Foundation sold 82,874 shares of Common Stock (including 39,585
shares over which Ellen B. Kurtzman had sole voting and investment power); and
the Two Trusts each sold 43,289 shares of Common Stock.
In addition, subsequent to the filing date of Amendment No. 3 to the
Schedule 13D, the Farber Family Foundation sold an aggregate of 44,500 shares of
