CUSIP No. 26830k 20 5 Schedule 13D Page 4 of 5 This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of E Com Ventures, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal executive offices are located at 11701 NW 101st Road, Miami, FL 33178. This Amendment relates to the Schedule 13D originally filed June 19, 2003 by Glenn H. Nussdorf, as amended July 7, 2003, July 9, 2003, July 11, 2003, August 11, 2003, August 19, 2003 and September 19, 2003 by Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf (as amended, the "Initial Schedule 13D"). Item 4 of the Initial Schedule 13D is being amended to indicate that Stephen L. Nussdorf on December 10, 2003 loaned $1,000,000 to Ilia Lekach, CEO and a director of the Issuer, pursuant to a Demand Note. The principal amount and accrued interest on the Demand Note are, at Mr. Nussdorf's option convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at the rate of $12.70 per share. Item 5 has been amended to reflect the $1,000,000 loan and the option to acquire shares on conversion of the principal and interest of the Demand Note. Item 7 has been amended to include as an Exhibit, a copy of the Demand Note. Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf may be considered a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, although each disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities owned by the other. Except as provided herein, the Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows: On December 10, 2003, Stephen L. Nussdorf loaned $1,000,000 to Ilia Lekach, the CEO and a director of the Issuer, pursuant to a Demand Note of Mr. Lekach payable to the order of Mr. Nussdorf (the "Demand Note"). Demand may be made for payment of the Demand Note at any time on or after January 5, 2004. Principal outstanding under the Demand Note bears interest at an annual rate of 6% until demand is made after which the annual rate increases to 10% on any unpaid amounts. Mr. Nussdorf has the right to require that all or any portion of the interest, principal and any fees due under the Demand Note be paid in the form of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Lekach at a rate of $12.70 per share. As of January 5, 2004, principal plus accrued interest under the Demand Note will total $1,005,167. If Mr. Nussdorf elects to demand payment at that time in the form of the Issuer's Common Stock, Mr. Lekach will be required to deliver 79,146 shares to Mr. Nussdorf. As of February 8, 2004, which is sixty (60) days following the making of the loan to Mr. Lekach, if demand has not previously been made by Mr. Nussdorf, Mr. Nussdorf may make demand and require Mr. Lekach to deliver 79,527 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock as payment in full of the Demand Note. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer Item 5 is hereby amended as follows: Item 5(a). The aggregate percentage of shares of common stock reported owned by both filing persons is based upon 2,461,838 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Proxy Statement dated November 12, 2003. Item 5(b). As of the close of business on December 10, 2003, Glenn H. Nussdorf beneficially owned 285,590 shares of common stock, constituting approximately 11.60% of the shares outstanding. Glenn H. Nussdorf has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all of the shares beneficially owned by him. As of the close of business on the same day, assuming conversion of the Demand Note occurs on February 8, 2004, Stephen L. Nussdorf beneficially owned 201,127 shares of common stock, constituting approximately 8.17% of the shares outstanding. Stephen L. Nussdorf holds 121,600 of these shares in a joint account with his wife. Included in the shares beneficially owned by Stephen L. Nussdorf are up to 79,527 shares that are acquirable in the next sixty (60) days pursuant to the right provided in the Demand Note to convert the principal and interest thereof into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. Item 5(c). Stephen L. Nussdorf effected the following transactions in Issuer's common stock since the last amendment to the Initial Schedule 13D: As of December 10, 2003, Mr. Nussdorf obtained the right to acquire from Ilia Lekach up to 79,527 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock on or before February 8, 2004 by demanding payment of the Demand Note in the form of such shares.
