Item 4. Ownership The statement on this Schedule 13G relates to an aggregate total of 101,638 shares of the outstanding Class A common shares of the issuer, Plymouth Rubber Company, Inc., beneficially owned as of March 13, 2001, representing 12.5% of the class (the "Shares"). On March 13, 2001, HYY Specialists, LLC ("HYY"), a registered broker-dealer and Amex specialist member organization of the Amex, acquired a position in the Shares, in the normal course of its duty to maintain a fair and orderly market as the designated specialist in the Class A common stock of Plymouth Rubber Inc., in excess of 5% of the issuer's outstanding Class A common shares. HYY was the owner of record of the Shares for the period of March 13, 2001 to April 2, 2001. During this period, HYY conducted its specialist activities through a joint account established with another Amex specialist member organization, Bear Hunter Specialists LLC (now known as Bear Wagner Specialists LLC ("Bear")(the "HYY-Bear Joint Account"). On April 2, 2001, HBH Specialists LLC ("HBH"), also an Amex specialist member organization, acquired all of the Shares as the successor-in-interest to the HYY-Bear Joint Account. Effective January 2, 2002, Joseph Palmeri became a Control Person of HBH by virtue of acquiring the status of HBH's Manager. Mr. Palmeri's wholly owned firm, PAL-BRO PARTNERS, L.L.C., simultaneously acquired a minority interest in HBH. All persons other than HYY and HBH identified on this Schedule 13G represent a parent holding company or a control person of the HYY-Bear Joint Account, HYY or HBH in accordance with 17 CFR 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G)(collectively, the "Control Persons") during the relevant period except as set forth above. Only HYY, and its successor-in-interest, HBH, have held the Shares since March 13, 2001. Some or all of the Control Persons of HYY and HBH who are identified in this Schedule, may have shared or share with HYY or HBH the power to vote, direct the vote, dispose, or direct the disposition of, the Shares, during some or all of the reporting period. Page 12 of 18 HYY, HBH and the Control Persons are of the view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) under the 1934 Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities held by HYY, and then by HBH as successor-in-interest. HBH's position in the Class A common stock of Plymouth Rubber Company, Inc. has not changed by 5% or more from the position held by HYY on March 13, 2001. HBH has not made a Section 16(b) filing under the Securities & Exchange Act pursuant to the exemption set forth in Section 16(d). Except as otherwise set forth herein, the number of shares beneficially owned and the percent of outstanding class of shares beneficially owned are reflected as of the last trade date of the month in which the event which requires filing of this statement occurred (i.e. March 30, 2001). (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 89,030 shares as of March 30, 2001 (b) Percent of Class: 12.5% (c) Number of shares as to which each person has: (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 0 (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 101,638 (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0 (iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 101,638 Item 5. Ownership of five percent or less of a class: If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ].
