This Amendment No. 30 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the
shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share, of Public Storage, Inc., the
predecessor of Public Storage (the "Issuer"), previously filed by B. Wayne
Hughes, B. Wayne Hughes, Jr. and Tamara Hughes Gustavson (together, the
"Reporting Persons" or the "Hughes Family"). This Amendment is being filed to
update the Schedule 13D in light of certain recent events.
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D, and unless amended or
supplemented hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
Between August 24 and September 14, 2009, entities affiliated with B.
Wayne Hughes sold a total of 3,100,000 shares of beneficial interest (the
"Shares") in the open market. Mr. Hughes disclaims beneficial ownership of such
Shares.
The Hughes Family intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a
continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the Hughes Family's
obligations under the Issuer's declaration of trust (as impacted by the waiver
granted by the board of directors of the Issuer's predecessor to acquire
additional Shares) and under the federal securities laws, determine to increase
or decrease their ownership of Shares through purchases or sales of Shares in
the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In reaching any
conclusion as to their future course of action, the Hughes Family will take into
consideration various factors, such as the Hughes Family's financial condition
and financial plans, other developments concerning the Hughes Family, the
Issuer's business and prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, other
business opportunities available to the Issuer and general economic and stock
market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the
Shares.
