CUSIP No. 938862208
SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 1 to
Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) is being filed on behalf of Greenlight Capital, L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company (“Greenlight LLC”), Greenlight Capital, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“Greenlight Inc”), DME Advisors, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Advisors,” and
together with Greenlight LLC and Greenlight Inc, “Greenlight”), and Mr. David Einhorn, principal of
Greenlight (“Mr. Einhorn,” and collectively with Greenlight, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common
Stock”), of Washington Group International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment modifies the original Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) on July 27, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”).
This Amendment relates
to shares of Common stock that are held by Greenlight for the account of (i) Greenlight Capital,
L.P. (“Greenlight Fund”), of which
Greenlight LLC is the general partner, (ii) Greenlight Capital Qualified, L.P. (“Greenlight
Qualified”), of which Greenlight LLC is the general partner, (iii) Greenlight Capital Offshore,
Ltd. (“Greenlight Offshore”), to which Greenlight Inc acts as investment advisor, and (iv) any
managed accounts for which Advisors acts as investment manager.
CUSIP No. 938862208
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4
of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to report that on September 28,
2007, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Board of Directors of
the Issuer expressing their view that the acquisition price in the
proposed merger of the Issuer with USR Corporation remains inadequate.
Greenlight stated that it will vote against the merger agreement between the Issuer and URS
Corporation because it is not in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders. The letter,
a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, is incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons may make, or cause to be made, further acquisitions of Common Stock from
time to time and may dispose of, or cause to be disposed of, any or all of the Common Stock held by
the Reporting Persons at any time. The Reporting Persons intend to evaluate on an ongoing basis the
investment in the Issuer and their options with respect to such investment. In connection with that
evaluation, the Reporting Persons, in their individual capacities, may seek to meet with the board
of directors and/or members of senior management or communicate publicly or privately with other
stockholders or third parties to indicate their views on issues relating to the strategic direction
undertaken by the Issuer and other matters of interest to stockholders generally. As part of any
such discussions, the Reporting Persons, in their individual capacities, may make recommendations,
including but not limited to changes in the strategic direction of the Issuer as a means of
enhancing shareholder value, an increase or decrease in the size of the Issuer’s board of
directors, the addition of independent members to the Issuer’s board of directors, a stock
repurchase plan and changes in the Issuer’s capital structure and dividend policy.
