Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule13D") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the"Commission") on June 23, 2004 by Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. a Delaware limited liability company, Kevin A. Richardson, II, Henry J. Lawlor, Jr., Murray A. Indick, Charles E. McCarthy and Christian Puscasiu. This amendment to the Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock") of HealthTronics Surgical Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 1841 West Oak Parkway, Suite A; Marietta, Georgia 30062. 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

Although Kevin A. Richardson, II, Henry J. Lawlor, Jr., Murray A. Indick, Charles E.
