Item 1.

Security and Company

 

 

 

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 3”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Radyne Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 3138 East Elwood Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85034.  This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in Items 1, 4, 5, and 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on July 26, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on September 12, 2007 and Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on November 7, 2007 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.  Except as amended by this Amendment No. 3, all information contained in the Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Persons’  knowledge and belief, true, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 3.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

 

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following as the fifth paragraph thereof:

 

On November 12, 2007, Discovery Group received a response from legal counsel to the Company to Discovery Equity Partners’ November 6, 2007 demand letter requesting to inspect certain books and records of the Company under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation relating to, among other things, any discussions concerning any acquisition, change of control of, or merger or other combination with, the Company, or any proposal or request for information related thereto.  The letter from the Company’s counsel stated that the Board of Directors of the Company would consider any request made in compliance with Section 220 but that Discovery Equity Partners’ demand did not satisfy the requirement of such statute regarding documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of the Common Stock.  On November 15, 2007, Discovery Equity Partners sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Company disputing the alleged inadequacy of the evidence of beneficial ownership provided by Discovery Equity Partners, providing additional evidence of both beneficial and record ownership of Common Stock, and reiterating the proper purpose for which the books and records were being requestedThe description of the aforementioned letter of Discovery Equity Partners contained in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such letter, which is included as Exhibit 4 to this Amendment No. 3 and is incorporated by reference herein. 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Company

 

 

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

The information concerning percentages of ownership set forth below is based on 18,711,437 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding as of November 1, 2007 in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the period ended September 30, 2007.

 

10



 

 

 

Discovery Equity Partners beneficially owns 1,391,192 shares of Common Stock as of November 15, 2007, which represents approximately 7.4% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

Discovery Group beneficially owns 1,618,427 shares of Common Stock as of November 15, 2007, which represents approximately 8.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

Mr. Donoghue beneficially owns 1,618,427 shares of Common Stock as of November 15, 2007, which represents approximately 8.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

Mr. Murphy beneficially owns 1,618,427 shares of Common Stock as of November 15, 2007, which represents approximately 8.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

Discovery Group is the sole general partner of Discovery Equity Partners and has sole discretionary investment authority with respect to the other Partnership’s investment in the Common Stock.  Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy are the sole managing members of Discovery Group.  As a consequence, Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy share beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock owned by both of the Partnerships, while Discovery Equity Partners shares beneficial ownership with Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy of only the shares of Common Stock owned by it.

 

There were no transactions in Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.

 

No person other than the Partnerships is known to any Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
