Rudnik entered into an Assignment Agreement in Liquidation of PFLP (the "PFLP Liquidation Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit IV. Under the PFLP Liquidation Agreement, PFLP distributed its Common Units of Horizon Group Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Common Units"), which Common Units are exchangeable on a one for one basis for Common Stock (or at the Company's election, cash of equivalent value). Specifically, 160,493 Common Units were distributed to PGI and 117,357 Common Units were distributed to PGLP.

        Also on May 17, 2002, PG-II and PG-III entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Assignment and Assumption Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit V, whereby PG-III assigned its 3,081 Common Units to PG-II.


ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        Item 4 is supplemented in the following manner:

        PGLP purchased the above-referenced shares of Common Stock and Common Units owned by it for investment purposes. PGI and PGLP received the above-referenced 160,493 and 117,357 Common Units, respectively, in connection with the PFLP Liquidation Agreement, and such Common Units are being held by PGI and PGLP for investment purposes. PG-II received the above-referenced 3,081 Common Units in connection with the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and such Common Units are being held by PG-II for investment purposes.

        On June 18, 2002, Reschke, on behalf of PGI, PGLP, PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V (together, the "Prime Sellers") entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with Howard M. Amster (the "Purchaser") whereby the Prime Sellers will sell, and the Purchaser will purchase, all outstanding Common Stock and Common Units owned by the Prime Sellers (the "Prime Shares and Units"). According to the Letter Agreement, the Company, as the borrower, currently intends to refinance its credit facility arrangements entered into on June 15, 1998 (the "Refinancing"). Subject to the Refinancing and several additional conditions to closing described in the Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit III, the Purchaser will purchase the Prime Shares and Units within 14 days following the Refinancing for an aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million.

        The Purchaser's obligations under the Letter Agreement are subject to numerous conditions, including the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, which must include, inter alia: (i) authorization of the sale by the Prime Sellers to the Purchaser; (ii) an ownership limitation waiver permitting the Purchaser to own both the Prime Shares and Units plus any Common Shares currently owned by the Purchaser; (iii) a waiver of all rights of the Company to cause the conversion or repurchase of any shares of Common Stock or take any other action that would impair the ownership or voting rights of the Purchaser with respect to the Prime Shares and Units, including an acknowledgement that no portion of the shares of Common Stock currently owned by the Purchaser shall be treated as "excess stock" under the Company's Articles of Incorporation.

        In addition to the approval by the Company's Board of Directors, the Letter Agreement is also conditioned upon the Purchaser receiving (i) certified resolutions from Horizon Group Properties, L.P. ("HGPLP") consenting to the transfer of the Common Units by the Prime Sellers to the Purchaser without the loss or impairment of the exchange or other rights attributable thereto and approving the ownership of all shares of Common Stock by the Purchaser as required under the HGPLP Partnership

14



Agreement; and (ii) a legal opinion (including those opinions described in the Letter Agreement) from counsel to the Company and HGPLP.

        Upon consummation of the transaction contemplated in the Letter Agreement, at the request of the Purchaser, Reschke will tender his resignation from the Company's Board of Directors.

        Other than discussed above, none of Reschke, PGLPI, PGI, Prime Finance, PGLP, PFLP, PG-II, PG-III, PG-IV or PG-V has any current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the types of transactions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions for this Item 4.


ITEM 5.    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        (a) Reschke beneficially owns 20,681 shares of Common Stock, which includes 8,206 shares of Common Stock held directly by Reschke and options to acquire 12,475 shares of Common Stock. Assuming the exercise of the options, these 20,681 shares of Common Stock constitute approximately 0.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. PGLP beneficially owns 528,118 shares of Common Stock and 192,977 Common Units, which, assuming exchange of the Common Units, constitute approximately 23.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. PGI beneficially owns 160,493 Common Units, which, assuming exchange of the Common Units, constitute approximately 5.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. PG-II beneficially owns 45,362 Common Units, which, assuming exchange of the Common Units, constitute approximately 1.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. PG-IV beneficially owns 6,818 Common Units, which, assuming exchange of the Common Units, constitute approximately 0.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. PG-V beneficially owns 35,050 Common Units, which, assuming exchange of the Common Units, constitute approximately 1.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

        By virtue of his position as managing general partner of PGLP and his ability to control PGI, PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, Reschke may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the 528,118 shares of Common Stock directly owned by PGLP and the 192,977, 160,493, 45,362, 6,818 and 35,050 Common Units owned by PGLP, PGI, PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, respectively. PGLPI may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the 45,362, 6,818 and 35,050 Common Units directly owned by PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, respectively, because PGLPI is the managing general partner of each of PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V.

        (b) Reschke has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the 20,681 shares of Common Stock directly owned by Reschke, assuming exercise of his options. PGLP has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the 528,118 shares of Common Stock and 192,977 Common Units directly owned by PGLP. PGI has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the 160,493 Common Units directly owned by PGI. Each of PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of the 45,362, 6,818 and 35,050 Common Units directly owned by PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, respectively.

        By virtue of his position as managing general partner of PGLP and his ability to control PGI, PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, Reschke may be deemed to share the power to direct the vote and disposition of the 528,118 shares of Common Stock directly owned by PGLP and the 192,977, 160,493, 45,362, 6,818 and 35,050 Common Units owned by PGLP, PGI, PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, respectively. PGLPI may be deemed to share the power to direct the vote and disposition of the 45,362, 6,818 and 35,050 Common Units directly owned by PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V, respectively, because PGLPI is the managing general partner of each of PG-II, PG-IV and PG-V.
