SECURITY AND ISSUER This Amendment No.2 is filed with respect to the shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), of Hypercom Corporation (the "Issuer"), beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (as defined in the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2007, as heretofore amended (the "Schedule 13D")), and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION All of the funds used to purchase the Shares described in this Schedule 13D came from the working capital of the RLR Focus Master Fund, LP (the "Fund"). A total of approximately $19.4 million was paid to acquire such Shares. ITEM 4: PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following penultimate paragraph: On February 13, 2008, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Issuer regarding the offer made by Ingenico on February 8, 2008 to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer at $6.25 per share in cash. The letter strongly urged the Issuer to negotiate the best deal possible, subject to establishing the certainty of a near-term closing, receiving evidence of Ingenico's financing capability and negotiating an overall transaction value that properly rewards the Issuer's shareholders in view of the benefits and detriments arising from the transaction, including the foregone opportunity of the proposed acquisition of the e-Transactions business of Thales S.A. The letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by reference. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) The Reporting Persons beneficially own 3,667,307 Shares, constituting approximately 6.9% of the Shares outstanding. The aggregate percentage of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 53,148,718 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of November 5, 2007 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007. (b) RLR and Mr. Rosen share power to vote and direct the disposition of all of the Shares held by the Fund. Thus, as of February 12, 2008, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 3,667,307 Shares, or 6.9% of the Shares deemed issued and outstanding as of that date. (c) The following transactions in the Shares were effected by the Reporting Persons since the Schedule 13D was last amended, each of which was effected in open market transactions. - ------------------------ ------------------------ CUSIP NO. 44913M105 SCHEDULE 13D PAGE 5 OF 7 PAGES - ------------------------ ------------------------ RLR Focus Master Fund, LP - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- Shares Purchased Trade Date (Sold) Price per Share ($) - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/16/2008 46,000 3.91 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/10/2008 20,000 4.28 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/11/2008 30,000 4.19 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/14/2008 20,000 4.20 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/15/2008 50,000 4.05 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/16/2008 40,000 3.97 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/17/2008 25,000 3.89 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/23/2008 20,000 3.53 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/24/2008 10,000 3.54 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/25/2008 14,662 3.58 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/28/2008 20,000 3.42 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- 1/31/2008 10,200 3.49 - --------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------------- (d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such Shares.

Letter from the Reporting Persons to the Issuer, dated February 13, 2008 EX-99 2 p08-0589exhibit99.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 February 13, 2008 Mr. Norman Stout Chairman of the Board Hypercom Corporation 2851 West Kathleen Road Phoenix, AZ 85053 Dear Norman: As you know, RLR Capital Partners, LP and RLR Focus Master Fund, LP, are among the largest shareholders of Hypercom Corporation, beneficially owning 3,667,307 shares, which represents approximately 6.9% of shares outstanding. We are writing to you today in response to the recent offer by Ingenico, made to you on Friday, February 8, 2008, to acquire all outstanding shares of Hypercom for $6.25 per share in cash, and to address the effect that that offer has on your proposed acquisition of the e-Transactions business of Thales S.A. As we have communicated to you, we strongly urge you to negotiate the best deal you can with Ingenico, provided you can establish certainty of near-term closing, clear proof of financing capability and a value that appropriately rewards shareholders for 1) the significant product and operating cost synergies that Ingenico would enjoy; 2) the revenue opportunity that Ingenico would have as a result of acquiring Hypercom's growing product pipeline, resurgent multi-lane business and strong presence in the US banking market; 3) costs associated with terminating the agreement with Thales, including the $10MM deposit and reasonable associated fees; and, 4) the opportunity foregone by not consummating the e-Transactions acquisition. As you know, we were very supportive of the Thales transaction, because we believe that in time, the successful integration of Hypercom and the e-Transactions business, would create a strong global player with significantly higher profitability and cash flow, and a resultant higher valuation for Hypercom. But we believe that a deal today with Ingenico, subject to the provisions stated above, must be pursued for the benefit of all shareholders. Delivering a full and fair value today is, in our judgment, preferable, and should be supported by a vast majority of your shareholders. If Ingenico cannot expeditiously address the concerns regarding certainty of closure, financing and appropriate value, then we would continue to support you in your efforts to close the Thales transaction. We will continue to communicate with you and the Board of Hypercom, and will, when appropriate, engage in discussions with other shareholders. Very truly yours, /s/ Robert L. Rosen Robert L.
