CUSIP NO. 4506B109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 7 of 9 Item 1. Security and Issuer ---------------------------- This Amendment No. 3 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 1, 2004 by Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership, ("Blum L.P."); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); Blum Strategic GP II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP II"); and Richard C. Blum, the Chairman and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc. and a managing member of Blum GP II (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This amendment relates to shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 13000 North Meridian Street, Carmel, Indiana 46032-1404. The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer --------------------------------------------- (a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q, there were 45,737,061 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2004. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 2,070,100 shares of Common Stock held by Blum L.P. and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum L.P. serves as the general partner, or on behalf of an entity for which Blum L.P. serves as investment advisor, which represents 4.5% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 2,742,700 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP II on behalf of the limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner and on behalf of the limited partnership for which it serves as the managing limited partner, which represents 6.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iii) 59,000 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. ("Dominion Connecticut") and 59,000 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("Virginia Electric")(collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with respect to which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. Each Investment Advisory Client has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum L.P., but neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own account. CUSIP NO. 4506B109 SCHEDULE 13D Page 8 of 9 Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum L.P. and Blum GP II. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 4,930,800 shares of the Common Stock, which is 10.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum L.P., RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum L.P. has voting and investment power. As Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. Additionally, Mr. Blum may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum GP II has voting and investment power. Although Mr. Blum is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc., managing members and members of Blum GP II, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc. or Blum GP II. c) Since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons purchased the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share ------ ---------- ------- ----------- Investment partnerships for 08-02-04 179,600 29.3512 which Blum L.P. serves as the general partner and on behalf of an entity for which Blum L.P. serves as investment advisor.
