SCHEDULE 13D This Amendment No. 37 relates to reporting a change in the facts set forth in the Schedule 13D required by Rule 13d- 1(a), and is intended to amend and restate the entire text of the statement on Schedule 13D (the "Statement") to update the information presented therein and create a composite Statement presenting such information in one document. Accordingly, the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: Item 1. Security and Issuer This Statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $1 per share (the "Common Stock"), of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 2 Paragon Drive, Montvale, New Jersey 07645. Item 2. Identity and Background (a)-(c); (f) The names of the persons filing this Statement (the "Reporting Parties") are the following: Tengelmann Warenhandelsgesellschaft KG, a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany ("Tengelmann"); Tengelmann Verwaltungs- und Beteiligungs GmbH, a limited liability company authorized under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany ("TVB"); Erivan Karl Haub ("EKH"); Karl- Erivan Warder Haub ("KEH"); and Christian Wilhelm Erich Haub ("CH"). The business address of both Tengelmann and TVB is Page 7 of 17 Pages Wissollstrasse 5-43, 45478 Mulheim an der Ruhr, Federal Republic of Germany. EKH is a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany whose business address is Wissollstrasse 5-43, 45478 Mulheim an der Ruhr, Federal Republic of Germany. KEH is a citizen of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany whose business address is Wissollstrasse 5-43, 45478 Mulheim an der Ruhr, Federal Republic of Germany. CH is a citizen of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany whose business address is 2 Paragon Drive, Montvale, New Jersey 07645. Tengelmann is engaged in general retail marketing. It owns and operates, through affiliated companies and subsidiaries of the Tengelmann Enterprises Group, several chains of stores, which principally sell grocery and department store items throughout the Federal Republic of Germany, other European countries, China, Canada and the United States. The general partners of Tengelmann are EKH, TVB, and EKH's two sons: KEH and CH. Tengelmann's sole limited partner is Georg Rudolf Otto Haub ("GH"), EKH's third son. GH is a Consultant for Store Planning and Construction for Tengelmann and a citizen of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany whose business address is Wissollstrasse 5-43, 45478 Mulheim an der Ruhr, Federal Republic of Germany. One half of the partnership interests of Tengelmann are owned by EKH, with the remainder equally divided among his three sons - KEH, CH, and GH. TVB is the sole managing partner of Tengelmann. By virtue of the articles of association of Tengelmann, TVB has the Page 8 of 17 Pages exclusive right to direct Tengelmann and is solely responsible for its conduct. TVB, whose only shareholders are EKH and his three sons, is not an operating company. KEH and CH are the only Managing Directors ("Co-CEOs") of TVB. CH became President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on May 1, 1998 and Chairman of the Board on May 1, 2001. In addition to CH's other positions, he served as President of the Company from December 7, 1993 until the election of Elizabeth R. Culligan on February 24, 2002. (d)-(e) None of the Reporting Parties nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Parties, any director of TVB or any partner of Tengelmann, during the last five years, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Since December 20, 2000, EKH has purchased 2000 shares of Common Stock. CH owns 3500 shares of Common Stock. Page 9 of 17 Pages The funds used by both EKH and CH to purchase all such shares consisted of their respective personal funds. CH has options to purchase 482,500 shares of Common Stock (of which 302,500 shares are exerciseable within 60 days) in connection with his employment with the Company. The shares of Common Stock referred to in Item 5(a) hereof as being beneficially owned by Tengelmann, TVB, KEH, CH, and EKH (other than the shares referred to in the previous paragraph) were acquired by Tengelmann and EKH in transactions which have been previously described in filings pursuant to Rule 13d-1 and Rule 13d-2 under the Act on Schedule 13D ("Previous Filings"). Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Tengelmann holds the shares of Common Stock it owns as an investment. Except for CH serving as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Tengelmann does not participate in the day-to-day management of the Company, and it does not have any present intention to increase its participation. Tengelmann reserves the right, however, to increase its participation in the day-to-day management of the Company, to the extent it deems such participation appropriate, and the size of its holdings of Common Stock gives it power to do so. Of the 10 directors of the Company, the following four were suggested for nomination by Tengelmann: John D. Barline Rosemarie Baumeister Christian W.E. Haub Helga Haub Page 10 of 17 Pages Tengelmann expects to continue to nominate persons for election as directors of the Company. While it has no present intention of doing so, Tengelmann reserves the right to nominate and cause the election of additional directors or all the members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board"), and the size of its holdings of Common Stock gives it power to do so. The Reporting Parties may from time to time purchase additional shares of Common Stock in the open market or in private transactions. The timing and amount of any such purchases will depend on market conditions, business conditions affecting the Company and other factors. The Reporting Parties also reserve the right to make a tender offer or acquire shares of Common Stock in any other manner in order to further increase their interest in the Company. Furthermore, the Reporting Parties reserve the right to reduce their interest in the Company from time to time by open market or private sales of Common Stock. The Reporting Parties do not have any present plan or proposal which relates to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company (other than those described in the immediately preceding paragraph of this Item 4), (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries, (d) any Page 11 of 17 Pages change in the present Board or the management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any material change in the Company's business or corporate structure, (g) any change in the Company's charter or by-laws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person, (h) a class of securities of the Company being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in (a) through (i) above. The Reporting Parties, however, reserve the right to adopt and implement any plan or proposal or make any change with respect to the Company, including one or more of those referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, to the extent they deem any such plan, proposal or change to be appropriate, and the size of Tengelmann's holdings of Common Stock gives them power to do so.
