Page 5 of 14 Pages This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share (the "Shares"), of VTX Electronics Corp. (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D dated April 15, 1996, (the "Initial Statement") filed by one of the Reporting Persons (as defined herein). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report the transfer of the investment advisory contract between Soros Fund Management ("SFM") and Quota Fund N.V., a Netherlands Antilles corporation ("Quota"), pursuant to which SFM was granted investment discretion over portfolio investments, including the Shares held for the account of Quota. The investment advisory contract has been transferred from SFM to Soros Fund Management LLC ("SFM LLC"), a newly formed Delaware limited liability company. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows. Item 2. Identity and Background. This statement is being filed on behalf of SFM LLC, Mr. George Soros ("Mr. Soros") and Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller," and together with SFM LLC and Mr. Soros, the "Reporting Persons"). This statement relates to Shares held for the account of Quota. Effective as of January 1, 1997, SFM, a sole proprietorship of which Mr. Soros is the sole proprietor, transferred its investment advisory contract with Quota to SFM LLC as part of a restructuring of the business of SFM, which will now be conducted through SFM LLC. SFM LLC has its principal office at 888 Seventh Avenue, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10106. Its principal business is to serve, pursuant to contract, as the principal investment manager to several foreign investment companies (the "SFM Clients"), including Quota. Quota has its principal office at Kaya Flamboyan 9, Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. SFM LLC's contracts with SFM Clients generally provide that SFM LLC is responsible for designing and implementing the SFM Clients' overall investment strategies; for conducting direct portfolio management strategies to the extent that SFM LLC determines that it is appropriate to utilize its own portfolio management capabilities; for selecting, evaluating and monitoring other investment advisors who manage separate portfolios on behalf of SFM Clients; and for allocating and reallocating the SFM Clients' assets among the outside managers and itself. The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee (the "Management Committee") comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr. Gary Gladstein. Mr. Soros, as Chairman of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the SFM Clients. Mr. Druckenmiller, as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the SFM Clients. Set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2 and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D as applicable is a list of the Managing Directors of SFM LLC. The principal occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States citizen, is his direction of the activities of SFM LLC, which is carried out in his capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office. Page 6 of 14 Pages The principal occupation of Mr. Druckenmiller, a United States citizen, is his position as Lead Portfolio Manager and a Member of the Management Committee of SFM LLC, which is carried out at SFM LLC's principal office. Pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Act, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros, in his capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC, and Mr. Druckenmiller, in his capacity as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, each may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities, including the Shares, held for the account of Quota as a result of the contractual authority of SFM LLC to exercise voting and dispositive power with respect to such securities. During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, Quota and, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any other person identified in response to this Item 2 has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding, or (b) a party to any civil proceeding as a result of which he has been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. The securities held for the accounts of Quota and/or other SFM Clients may be held through margin accounts maintained with brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in its margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firm's credit policies. The positions which may be held in the margin accounts, including the Shares, are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the respective accounts. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. All of the securities reported herein as having been acquired for or disposed of from the account of Quota were acquired or disposed of for investment purposes. Neither Quota, the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the other individuals identified in response to Item 2, has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Persons and/or other SFM Clients, market conditions or other factors. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) As a result of the assignment of the investment advisory contract between SFM and Quota to SFM LLC, SFM LLC may be deemed to have the ability to terminate the Services Contract with respect to all investments made for the account of Quota at the direction of Services, including but not limited to those involving the Shares, and acquire the voting and dispositive power held by Services with respect to the Shares (assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota). Accordingly, notwithstanding that none of the Reporting Persons currently exercises voting or dispositive power over such Shares, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,000,000 Shares (approximately 7.32% of the total number of Shares which would be outstanding assuming the exercise or conversion of all currently convertible securities of the Issuer held by Quota). This number consists of (i) 1,250 shares of Preferred Stock which are convertible into 500,000 Shares and (ii) B-1 Warrants to purchase 500,000 Shares. Page 7 of 14 Pages Shares issuable upon exercise of the B-2 Warrants and the March Warrants are not reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons because such Warrants are not exercisable until December 1, 1998. The Debentures and March Debentures are also not reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons because neither is convertible into Shares. (b) The power to direct the disposition and voting of the Shares (assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota) is currently vested in Services pursuant to the Services Contract. SFM LLC has the contractual authority on behalf of Quota to terminate the Services Contract within 60 days and, as a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the ability to acquire the voting and dispositive power held by Services with respect to the 1,000,000 Shares held for the account of Quota (assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota). (c) Except as disclosed in Item 2 hereof, which is incorporated by reference in this Item 5, there have been no transactions effected with respect to the Shares since November 11, 1996 (60 days prior to the date hereof) by Quota or by any of the Reporting Persons. (d) The shareholders of Quota have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, securities, including the Shares (assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota), held for the account of Quota in accordance with their ownership interests in Quota. (e) Not applicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings in Relationship with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. From time to time, each of the Reporting Persons, Quota, and/or other SFM Clients may lend portfolio securities to brokers, banks or other financial institutions. These loans typically obligate the borrower to return the securities, or an equal amount of securities of the same class, to the lender and typically provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise voting rights and to retain dividends during the term of the loan. From time to time to the extent permitted by applicable laws, each of the Reporting Persons, Quota, and/or other SFM Clients may borrow securities, including the Shares, for the purpose of effecting, and may effect, short sale transactions, and may purchase securities for the purpose of closing out short positions in such securities. Except as disclosed above, the Reporting Persons and SFM Clients do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
