SCHEDULE 13D/A

This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Prescott Capital”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap II” and, together with Prescott Small Cap, the “Small Cap Funds”), and Mr. Phil Frohlich, the principal of Prescott Capital, relating to Ordinary shares, NIS 0.01 par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), of BluePhoenix Solutions Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Issuer”).

The Ordinary Shares held by Prescott Master Fund reported on this Schedule 13D were previously reported on a Schedule 13G/A filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 11, 2010 and a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on June 2, 2010, as subsequently amended on January 6, 2011, again on June 27, 2011 and again on December 16, 2011. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined have the respective meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

As of April 26, 2012, the Small Cap Funds had invested $11,203,101 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Small Cap Funds.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

On March 19, 2012 the Reporting Persons, along with two other shareholders (collectively, the “Three Shareholders”), agreed to enter into three agreements with the Issuer, subject to the approval of the Issuer’s banks and shareholders to be obtained at the Issuer’s shareholders meeting to be held on May 2, 2012.

The agreements include the following:

(a) An Assignment Agreement pursuant to which the rights and obligations of certain lenders to the Issuer with respect to a $5,000,000 loan granted in April 2011 (the “2011 Loan”) would be assigned by the lenders to the Three Shareholders in equal shares, subject to certain terms and conditions.

 

Page 6 of 9


(b) An Amended Loan Agreement pursuant to which the maturity date of the 2011 Loan would be extended from May 2012 to May 1, 2014, which may be repaid in Ordinary Shares, the interest rate would rise to 6% per annum and certain other terms of the 2011 Loan would be amended. The 2011 Loan will be partially paid down with certain other funds of the Issuer currently held in escrow. In addition, the Issuer agreed to issue to the Three Shareholders Ordinary Shares in equal amount in an aggregate amount equal to 18.7% of the Issuer’s outstanding share capital, which shall be the subject of a registration rights agreement. The loan amount is convertible by the Three Shareholders into Ordinary Shares as set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement.

(c) A Bridge Loan Agreement for the extension of a bridge loan by the Three Shareholders to the Issuer in the amount of $500,000, which has already been extended, at an interest rate equal to 0.07% per annum. The loan amount is convertible by the Three Shareholders into Ordinary Shares as set forth in the Bridge Loan Agreement.

Each of these Agreements have previously been disclosed by the Issuer, and are more fully described in the Issuer’s Form 20-F/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2012.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) The aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares reported to be owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon the sum of (i) 6,310,903 Ordinary Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2011, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 20-F/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2012, and (ii) 102,343, the number of Series A warrants exercisable to purchase Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons.

As of April 26, 2012, the Small Cap Funds beneficially owned 1,217,675 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 19.0% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer. Such Ordinary Shares consist of (i) 1,115,332 Ordinary Shares and (ii) Series A warrants exercisable to purchase 102,343 Ordinary Shares.

Prescott Capital, as the general partner of the Small Cap Funds, and Mr. Frohlich, as managing member of Prescott Capital, may also be deemed to beneficially own the 1,217,675 Ordinary Shares held by the Small Cap Funds, representing approximately 19.0% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares held by the Small Cap Funds except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

(b) By virtue of his position with Prescott Capital and the Small Cap Funds, Mr. Frohlich has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Ordinary Shares owned by the Small Cap Funds reported in this Schedule 13D.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as admission that Prescott Capital or Mr. Frohlich is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act the beneficial owner of any of the 1,217,675 Ordinary Shares owned by the Small Cap Funds. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim all such beneficial ownership.

 

Page 7 of 9


(c) No transactions in the Issuer’s securities were effected since the previous amendment to the Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons; provided, however, the Reporting Persons did receive 3,334 Ordinary Shares for the services of Mr. Eric Green, a Managing Director at Prescott Capital, as a director of the Issuer.

(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 proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
