ITEM 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (“Sunstone”) is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed on November 5, 2004 and as amended November 22, 2004, June 16, 2005 and September 20, 2005. Except as expressly stated herein, there have been no material changes in the information set forth in the Schedule 13D as previously amended. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) Following the reported transaction, the Reporting Persons beneficially own zero (0) shares of Sunstone’s Common Stock.

 

(b) Not applicable.

 

(c) Prior to November 16, 2005, Sunstone Hotel Investors, L.L.C. (“SHI”), WB Hotel Investors, LLC (“WBHI”), Sunstone/WB Hotel Investors IV, LLC (“SWBHI IV”) and Sunstone/WB Manhattan Beach, LLC (“SWBMB”) collectively owned 3,699,572 membership units of Sunstone Hotel Partnership, LLC (“SHP”). Holders of membership units are entitled to present them for redemption for a cash amount equal to the then-fair market value of an equal number of shares of Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. or, in Sunstone’s sole discretion, an equal number of shares of Common Stock. The units were eligible to be presented for redemption beginning on October 27, 2005. Power was exercised on these membership units through Westbrook Real Estate Partners, L.L.C. (“WREP”), which is the managing member of Westbrook Sunstone Investors, LLC (“WSI”), which is the managing member of Westbrook SHP, L.L.C., which is a member of SHI. Westbrook Real Estate Partners, LLC is also the managing member of Westbrook Real Estate Partners Management III, LLC, which is the general partner of each of Westbrook Real Estate Fund III, L.P. and Westbrook Real Estate Co-Investment Partnership III, L.P., which together with Westbrook SHP, LLC had the power to appoint three-fourths of the members of the executive committee of SHI.

 

Prior to November 16, 2005, WREP as the managing member of WSI, Westbrook Real Estate Partners Management III, LLC and Westbrook Real Estate Partners Management IV, LLC, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act, WREP may have been deemed to own beneficially all 3,699,572 of the membership units owned of record by SHI, WBHI, SWBHI IV and SWBMB representing 8.1% of the outstanding shares (calculated based on a total of 41,877,321 outstanding Sunstone shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on September 16, 2005) assuming the SHP units owned by each of SHI, WBHI, SWBHI IV and SWBMB were converted to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. WREP disclaimed such beneficial ownership in Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock, dated September 20, 2005.

 

Prior to November 16, 2005, as managing members of WREP, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act, Messrs. Kazilionis and Paul may have been deemed to own beneficially all


3,699,572 SHP units owned of record by SHI, WBHI, SWBHI IV and SWBMB representing 8.1% of the outstanding shares assuming the SHP units owned by each of SHI, WBHI, SWBHI IV and SWBMB were converted to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock.
