This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2008, and as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 4, 2008 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Unigene Laboratories, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 81 Fulton Street, Boonton, New Jersey 07005. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The response to Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The securities reported in Schedule 13D as directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of approximately $5,545,229 (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from the working capital or personal funds of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons who directly beneficially own such securities.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. 

 

Item 5 (a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)-(c). As of May 22, 2012, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 6,600,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 6.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 95,374,927 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 26, 2012, as set forth in the Issuer’s most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2012). The following table sets forth certain information with respect to shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons listed below:

 

Name Number of Shares of Common Stock Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock
     
Wynnefield Partners 2,042,743 2.1%
Wynnefield Partners I 3,056,961 3.2%
Wynnefield Offshore 1,500,269 1.6%
     
     

WCM is the sole general partner of the Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. 

 

 
 

  

CUSIP No. 904753100 13D/A Page 10 of 11

 

WCI is the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. WCI, as the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the principal executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as the principal executive officers of WCI, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

Beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Schedule 13D for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 6,600,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 6.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 95,374,927 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 26, 2012, as set forth in the Issuer’s most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2012).

 

The filing of this Schedule 13D and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. Each of WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares covered by this Schedule 13D.

 

The Wynnefield Reporting Persons have purchased the following shares of Common Stock during the last 60 days (prices do not reflect brokerage commissions):

 

Name Date Number of Shares Price Per Share
Wynnefield Partners May 22, 2012 66,000 $.26
Wynnefield Partners I May 22, 2012 100,760 $.26
Wynnefield Offshore May 22, 2012 53,240 $.26
