     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2007 (the “Original Statement”). Unless set forth below, all previous items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Statement.
     The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 1 in connection with an Amendment to Voting Agreement entered into as of April 11, 2008 (the “Voting Agreement Amendment”) by The Pinnacle Fund L.P., The Francisco Trust U/A/D February 28, 1996, The Mark A. Emalfarb Trust U/A/D October 1, 1987, The Tom and Nancy Juda Living Trust, J. Steven Emerson and Dorset Management Corporation. A description of the Voting Agreement Amendment is set forth below in the amended and restated Item 4.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     The Reporting Persons are filing this statement in connection with the Voting Agreement and Voting Agreement Amendment entered into by The Pinnacle Fund, L.P., The Francisco Trust U/A/D February 28, 1996, The Mark A. Emalfarb Trust U/A/D October 1, 1987, The Tom and Nancy Juda Living Trust, J. Steven Emerson, and Dorset Management Corporation (the “Participating Stockholders”). The Participating Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreement on October 31, 2007.
     On April 11, 2008, the Participating Stockholders executed the Voting Agreement Amendment to increase from 30 days to 90 days the amount of prior written notice required for a Participating Stockholder to terminate the Voting Agreement with respect to that Participating Stockholder. The Voting Agreement Amendment does not otherwise modify or affect the Participating Stockholders’ rights or obligations under the Voting Agreement. The Participating Stockholders executed the Voting Agreement Amendment in response to an order by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on April 8, 2008 compelling the Issuer to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors. In accordance with this order, the Issuer shall hold such meeting within 75 days from the date of the order. In so amending the Voting Agreement, the Participating Stockholders clarify their intent to (1) preserve their voting group through the duration of the court-ordered meeting and (2) vote as a bloc on the election of directors and any other matter proposed to the Issuer’s stockholders for approval or required by law to be approved by the Issuer’s stockholders at such meeting.
     Under the Voting Agreement, the manner in which the Participating Stockholders will vote their shares with respect to all matters proposed to the Issuer’s stockholders for approval will be determined based on the voting decision of the majority of the shares covered by the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement will terminate either two years from the date of the agreement or by the written consent of a majority of the Participating Stockholders — whichever date is earlier. Under the Voting Agreement, as amended by the Voting Agreement Amendment, a Participating Stockholder may terminate the Voting Agreement, with respect to that Participating Stockholder, by providing 90 days prior written notice to the other Participating Stockholders.
     The summaries of the Voting Agreement and Voting Agreement Amendment set forth above are qualified in their entirety by reference to such complete documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
     The Reporting Persons believe that action should be taken to preserve stockholder value due to the Issuer’s recent operational deterioration. The Reporting Persons, directly or indirectly, may therefore take actions under the Voting Agreement with a purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, such as:
(1) the acquisition of additional common shares of the Issuer, or the disposition of common shares of the Issuer;
(2) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer;

 


 

(3) a sale, lease, license, or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer;
(4) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to elect new directors, to remove directors, to replace directors, to change the number or term of directors, or to fill any vacancies on the board;
(5) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;
(6) changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto;
(7) the solicitation of proxies or consents with respect to the foregoing; and/or
(8) any action similar to those enumerated above.
     Any future decision of the Reporting Persons to take any such actions with respect to the Issuer or its securities will take into account various factors, including the prospects of the Issuer, general market and economic conditions, and other factors deemed relevant. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans and intentions at any time, as they deem appropriate.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 5(b) is hereby amended by deleting the first paragraph thereof and restating it in its entirety as follows:
     Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the manner in which the Participating Stockholders will vote their shares with respect to all matters proposed to the Issuer’s stockholders for approval will be determined based on the voting decision of the majority of the shares covered by the Voting Agreement. As described in Item 4 of this statement, the Reporting Persons must provide 90 days notice to terminate the Voting Agreement with respect to those Persons. Accordingly, following the execution of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote or to direct the vote of the Subject Shares with the other parties to the Voting Agreement.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the Issuer.
     Item 6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
     The Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among themselves with any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries other than the Voting Agreement and the Voting Agreement Amendment.
     The descriptions of the Voting Agreement and Voting Agreement Amendment in Item 4 of this statement are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
     Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:
99.3   Amendment to Voting Agreement, by and among certain stockholders of Dyadic International, Inc., dated as of April 11, 2008
