Security and Issuer. This Amendment No. 19 to Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Amendment"), filed with respect to events that occurred on June 13, 1997, relates to shares of Common Stock, par value $0.66-2/3 per share, of Hanover Direct, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Common Stock" and the "Issuer", respectively), whose principal executive offices are located at 1500 Harbor Boulevard, Weehawken, New Jersey 07087. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the original Statement on Schedule 13D, as modified by Amendments No. 1 - 18 thereto (the "Amended Statement"). Item 2. Identity and Background. This Statement is filed by NAR Group Limited, on behalf of itself and its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, Quadrant Group Limited ("QGL") and Westmark Holdings Limited ("Westmark") (individually or collectively, as the context requires, "NAR"), and Alan G. Quasha ("Mr. Quasha") (collectively, NAR and Mr. Quasha are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Reporting Persons"). NAR is the beneficial owner of certain of the Issuer's securities. Mr. Quasha is a director of the Issuer. NAR's stockholders, Richemont Finance S.A. ("Richemont"), Evansville Limited ("Evansville") and Mr. Quasha, may be deemed to jointly control NAR. Richemont may be deemed to be controlled, through intermediate entities (Richemont S.A. and Compagnie Financiere Richemont AG), by Compagnie Financiere Rupert. Evansville may be deemed to be controlled by the Phyllis Quasha Revocable Trust (the "Trust"). Phyllis G. Quasha, as the settlor of the Trust, may be deemed to control the Trust. Phyllis G. Quasha is Mr. Quasha's mother. Mr. Quasha is one of the beneficiaries of the Trust. Based upon the foregoing considerations, for purposes of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, Richemont, Richemont S.A., Compagnie Financiere Richemont AG, Compagnie Financiere Rupert, Evansville, the Phyllis Quasha Revocable Trust and Phyllis G. Quasha (collectively, the "Instruction C Persons") may be deemed to control NAR. Exhibit A sets forth the name, place of organization, principal business, address of principal business and address of principal office of each of the Reporting Persons and Instruction C Persons. The name, citizenship, business address and present principal occupation or employment of each executive officer and director of the Reporting Persons and Instruction C Persons, as 5 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 5 of 14 Pages well as the name, principal business and address of the corporation or other organization in which such occupation or employment is conducted, are set forth in Exhibit B. During the five years prior to the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, the Instruction C Persons or any executive officer or director of any of the Reporting Persons or Instruction C Persons, (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which such person was or is 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. Except as expressly set forth herein, the joint filing of this Statement by the reporting persons shall not be construed as an admission that any person named herein is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or (g) of the Securities Exchange Act or for any other purpose, the indirect beneficial owner of any or all of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned directly by another person, and each such person disclaims such indirect beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned directly by QGL or Westmark. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration Inapplicable. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. Inapplicable. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a)&(b) The Issuer has a total of 200,031,580 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 11, 1997. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 94,782,555 shares of Common Stock, including 5,646,490 shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of other securities as contemplated by Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i). Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), such 94,782,555 shares of Common Stock constitute an aggregate of approximately 46.1% of the outstanding Common Stock. For purposes of Section 13(d), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of, or to direct the voting and disposition of, the securities referred to in this paragraph. 6 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 6 of 14 Pages (c) Other than the transactions described in this Statement, no transactions in the shares of Common Stock have been effected since the date of the most recent filing on Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of their knowledge, the Instruction C Persons or any of the persons named in Exhibit B. (d) Inapplicable. (e) Inapplicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer. Reference is hereby made to Items 3 and 4 of the Amended Statement for a description of certain contracts, arrangements, understandings and relationships relating to the securities of the Issuer. Except as described therein, and in the following paragraph, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their knowledge, any executive officer or director thereof, has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with one or more security holders of the Issuer or others, with respect to the purchase, holding, voting or disposition of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer which are convertible or exercisable into such shares. Each of such persons reserves the right to enter into any such contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship in the future. On June 13, 1997 Mr. Quasha, Richemont and Evansville amended the Joint Venture Agreement of NAR Group Limited (the "Amendment") to, among other things, grant a put exercisable jointly by Mr. Quasha and Evansville once at any time after March 31, 1998 to sell and transfer to Richemont such number of shares of Common Stock at a price per share based on the then current market price of a share of Common Stock as shall in the aggregate equal the Value. (Except as otherwise indicated herein, any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Amendment.) The Amendment also grants a call to Richemont exercisable by it once any time after June 30, 1999 to cause NAR to sell to it a similarly determined number of shares of Common Stock. The Amendment also relieves Mr. Quasha of any further obligation to provide to Richemont any financial or other information with respect to NAR's interest in the Issuer. Furthermore, the Amendment provides a mechanism for the resolution of deadlocks relating to matters involving the voting of the Common Stock of the Issuer which includes a buy/sell 7 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 7 of 14 Pages arrangement for such shares. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant sections of the Amendment attached as Exhibit JJ to this Amendment. Item 7.

("Evansville"); and ALAN G. QUASHA, a resident of New York, New York ("Alan Quasha"), and amends that certain Joint Venture Agreement, effective as of March 31, 1988, by and among Rupert Group Limited, Herbard Ltd., Pavonis Ltd. and Alan Quasha (the "Original Agreement") which established North American Resources Ltd., a British Virgin Islands international business company now known as NAR GROUP LIMITED ("NAR"). Evansville and Alan Quasha are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Evansville Shareholders." Richemont, Evansville and Alan Quasha are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Shareholders." * * * 4. PUT AND CALL OPTIONS RELATING TO THE HANOVER COMMON STOCK. A. Subject to Paragraphs 4(E), 4(F) and 4(G) hereof, Evansville and Alan Quasha (which, for purposes of this Section 4, may only act jointly as the Evansville Shareholders) shall have the right (the "Put Option"), exercisable once only at any time after March 31, 1998, to cause NAR (which for purposes hereof shall include any affiliate of NAR (other than Richemont and its non-NAR affiliates) then nominally holding shares of Hanover Common Stock) to sell and transfer to Richemont such number of the shares of Hanover Common Stock at a price per share equal to the average of the closing bid price of a share of Hanover Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Put Notice (the "Put Price") as shall, in the aggregate, equal the Value. The Put Option shall be exercised by Evansville and Alan Quasha delivering a joint written notice (the "Put Notice") to NAR and Richemont requesting Richemont to purchase such number of shares of Hanover Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 4(A). Within thirty (30) days of the later of: (i) the delivery of the Put Notice, or (ii) the completion of any applicable waiting periods as set forth in Paragraph 4(D) hereof, the closing of the Put Option shall occur whereby NAR shall cause such number of shares of Hanover Common Stock to be transferred to Richemont, and Richemont shall purchase such shares by tendering to NAR for redemption all shares of Preferred Stock and agreeing 2 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 10 of 14 Pages to accept such shares of Hanover Common Stock as full payment for the redemption of the Preferred Stock. Richemont shall thereafter have no further rights in the Preferred Stock. All Hanover Common Stock not then sold to Richemont for the redemption of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter not be subject to the Put Option and shall immediately be distributed pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4(E) herein. B. Unless the Put Option shall have previously been exercised, Richemont shall, subject to Paragraphs 4(E), 4(F) and 4(G) hereof, have the right (the "Call Option"), exercisable once only at any time after June 30, 1999, to cause NAR to sell and transfer to Richemont such number of the shares of Hanover Common Stock, at a price per share equal to the average of the closing bid price of a share of Hanover Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Call Notice (the "Call Price") as shall, in the aggregate, equal the Value. The Call Option shall be exercised by Richemont delivering written notice (the "Call Notice") to NAR and the Evansville Shareholders requesting the Evansville Shareholders to cause NAR to sell such number of shares of the Hanover Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 4(B). Within thirty (30) days of the later of: (i) the delivery of the Call Notice, or (ii) the completion of any applicable waiting periods as set forth in Paragraph 4(D) hereof, the closing of the Call Option shall occur whereby NAR shall cause such number of shares of Hanover Common Stock to be transferred to Richemont, and Richemont shall purchase such shares by tendering to NAR for redemption all shares of Preferred Stock and agreeing to accept such shares of Hanover Common Stock as full payment for the redemption of the Preferred Stock. Richemont shall thereafter have no further rights in the Preferred Stock. All Hanover Common Stock not then sold to Richemont for the redemption of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter not be subject to the Call Option and shall immediately be distributed pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4(E) herein. C. In the event the Call Option or the Put Option is exercised pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each of Richemont, Evansville and Alan Quasha shall join in the execution and filing of any application, consent or other document that may be necessary in order to obtain the authorization, approval or consent of any governmental body, federal, state, local or foreign, which may be reasonably required, in connection with the consummation of the purchase or sale of such shares of Hanover Common Stock. Each of Richemont, Evansville and Alan Quasha agrees to use its best efforts to cause the conditions referred to in Paragraph 4(D) to be met and agrees to take all reasonable steps necessary to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act ("HSR Act"), if applicable, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law. 3 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 11 of 14 Pages D. Closing of any transaction contemplated by this Paragraph 4 shall not occur until all applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other federal, state, local or foreign law with respect to the consummation of the purchase or sale of Hanover Common Stock shall have expired or early termination shall have been granted by, in the case of the HSR Act, both the by Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, and in the case of any other federal, state, local or foreign law, the applicable agency or agencies. E. Each of the Call Option and the Put Option may only be exercised one time. Following the exercise of the Put Option or the Call Option, as the case may be, the total number of shares of Hanover Common Stock beneficially owned by NAR after such exercise shall thereafter promptly be distributed by NAR to Richemont and (subject to Paragraph 4(H) hereof) to the Evansville Shareholders in accordance with their respective ownership of the common stock of NAR. F. In the event that Hanover Common Stock shall no longer be trading in a public forum such that its trading price is not readily ascertainable by public quotes, then, within thirty (30) days of the date on which either the Evansville Shareholders (with regard to the Put Option) or Richemont (with regard to the Call Option) gives notice to the other and to NAR that it desires, upon the determination of a Put Price or a Call Price, to consider exercising its respective Option, the Call Price or the Put Price shall be determined by an investment banking firm promptly selected by the mutual agreement of Richemont and the Evansville Shareholders, and whose determination (which shall be paid for by the party or parties giving such notice) shall be final and binding on the Shareholders. In the event that Richemont and the Evansville Shareholders are unable, within ten (10) days of the receipt of such notice, to agree upon an investment banking firm for this purpose, each entity shall immediately select its own investment banking firm to determine the Call Price or the Put Price, as the case may be, and each such firm shall have thirty (30) days from the date of its respective appointment to make such determination. The actual Call Price or Put Price shall equal the average of the values determined by each such investment bank. In making its determination of the Call Price or the Put Price, as the case may be, each investment banking firm selected pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph shall determine such Price by averaging the following two numbers: (i) the per share valuation of Hanover Common Stock that would be achievable were HDI to effect an initial public offering at such time, and (ii) the per share price that would be achievable were a controlling block of shares of Hanover Common Stock to be sold in a private "block trade" transaction at such time. The Put Option or Call Option may thereafter be exercised in the manner stated hereinabove by the giving of the Put Notice or Call Notice within thirty (30) 4 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 12 of 14 Pages days of the date on which such investment banking firm or firms gives notice to Richemont and to the Evansville Shareholders of its determination of such Price. G. Neither the Call Option nor the Put Option may be exercised if (i) trading in the Hanover Common Stock shall have been suspended by order of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or of the American Stock Exchange or of any other entity, (ii) trading in securities generally on the American Stock Exchange (or on any other exchange where Hanover Common Stock may then be traded) shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange, (iii) on any trading day during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Put Notice or Call Notice, the closing bid price of a share of Hanover Common Stock shall be at least fifteen percent (15%) greater or less than the average of the closing bid price of a share of Hanover Common Stock for such thirty (30) trading day period, or (iv) the party or parties exercising such option are then in possession of material, non-public information concerning Hanover Common Stock which may reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the per share price of Hanover Common Stock once such information is publicly disclosed. In any such situations, the Call Option or the Put Option may be exercised only after the basis for such prohibition on exercising the Option has expired or been alleviated. H. If, immediately following the exercise of either the Put Option or the Call Option, the beneficial ownership of Hanover Common Stock by Richemont (after deducting any shares of Hanover Common Stock subject to an option to Mr. Kaul, as more fully described in Section 1(B) hereof) shall be less than 50.1% of the number of voting shares then outstanding, the Evansville Shareholders hereby each agree to grant to Richemont (i) an irrevocable proxy to vote such number of shares (the "Proxy Shares") then owned by them as shall at all times equal the difference between (x) the number of voting shares of HDI then owned by Richemont and its affiliates (other than the Evansville Shareholders) and (y) the number of voting shares of HDI as shall equal not less than 50.1% of the aggregate number of voting shares of HDI then outstanding; and (ii) a right of first offer to purchase the Proxy Shares, as more fully described below. In the event that the Evansville Shareholders (who agree to act jointly for all purposes with regard to the Proxy Shares) should decide to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Proxy Shares, they shall first give written notice to Richemont of their intention to sell such shares, together with the price at which they are willing to sell such shares. Richemont shall then have thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice to evaluate such offer. If, at or prior to the end of such 30-day period, Richemont gives notice to the Evansville Shareholders that it accepts such offer, then 5 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 13 of 14 Pages the Evansville Shareholders shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice, sell to Richemont, and Richemont shall purchase for cash, all such Proxy Shares. If, at the end of such 30-day period, Richemont declines such offer or does not respond to such offer in writing, then the Evansville Shareholders shall be free to sell such shares at any time during the succeeding ninety (90) days (starting the day following the end of the previous 30-day period) to a third party, but only at a price per share equal to or higher than the price per share at which such shares were first offered to Richemont. Upon the completion of the sale of such shares by the Evansville Shareholders to a third party during such 90-day period, the irrevocable proxy described in the first sentence of this Paragraph 4(H) shall thereupon terminate. If the Evansville Shareholders do not complete the sale of such shares in such manner during such 90-day period, then the Right of First Offer described in this Section 4(H) shall again be applicable, and the irrevocable proxy shall remain in full force and effect. * * * 6. OTHER MATTERS. A. Following the Effective Date, Alan Quasha shall have no further responsibility for financial reporting and other information delivery obligations to Richemont relating to NAR's interest in HDI. Alan Quasha shall be relieved of his duty to continue to provide to Richemont financial reporting and other information relating to the businesses or assets of NAR, except to provide the reports prepared by such businesses (other than HDI) or the managers of such assets, all of which reports Mr. Quasha shall cause to be promptly forwarded to Richemont. The provisions of this Section 6(A) shall in no way relieve NAR of its obligation to provide Richemont with such periodic financial reports concerning NAR's aggregate assets and operations as shall be necessary in order to enable Richemont to satisfy its financial reporting obligations. B. In the event that the Evansville Shareholders, on the one hand, and Richemont, on the other hand, or their respective representatives, are unable to agree on the terms of any material decision relating to NAR's ownership of Hanover Common Stock or to the business of HDI (a "Deadlock"), then the parties agree that the following provisions shall apply and such provisions shall supersede the provisions of Section 4 hereof: (1) Richemont shall give notice to the other Shareholders of a Deadlock. Within ten (10) days of such written notice, Richemont shall provide to the other Shareholders, in 6 CUSIP NO. 440506 10 3 13D Page 14 of 14 Pages writing (the "Notice"), its determination of the price per share at which it is prepared to purchase all of the shares of Hanover Common Stock then owned by NAR (the resulting per share valuation, for purposes of this Paragraph 6(B), being termed the "Auction Value"). (2) Together with the Notice of the Auction Value, Richemont shall offer to purchase from NAR all, but not less than all, of its shares of Hanover Common Stock, at a price per share equal to the Auction Value. Such Notice shall offer to pay for NAR's shares of Hanover Common Stock, in cash or cash equivalents, within thirty (30) days of the date of the Notice. (3) Upon receipt of the Notice, the other Shareholders shall immediately nominate one representative of such Shareholders, and shall agree to be jointly and severally bound by the determination of such representative as to all matters relating to this Paragraph 6(B). Such representative shall have twenty (20) days from the date of the Notice in which to notify Richemont that it either (a) accepts such Auction Value and agrees to cause NAR to sell to Richemont all of its Hanover Common Stock at such share price, or (b) desires to purchase all of NAR's shares of Hanover Common Stock, at a price per share equal to the Auction Value. In the event the representative of the other Shareholders shall have responded in accordance with (a) above, or shall have made no response by such twentieth (20th) day, then the Shareholders hereby agree to cause NAR to sell its shares of Hanover Common Stock to Richemont at a price per share equal to the Auction Value, on such terms and at such date as was specified in the Notice, and Richemont agrees to so purchase such shares. In the event that the other Shareholders shall have responded in accordance with (b) above, then the Shareholders shall cause NAR to sell its shares of Hanover Common Stock to such other Shareholders, on the same terms and at such date as was specified in the Notice, at a price per share equal to the Auction Value, and such other Shareholders agree to so purchase such Shares. In either event, (i) the purchase price shall be paid in cash and (ii) the parties hereto shall, simultaneously with such sale, cause NAR to redeem the Preferred Stock, at the Full Redemption Value. * * * -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
