This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 30, 2013 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on November 4, 2013 ("Amendment No. 1") and Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on November 6, 2013 ("Amendment No. 2" and, together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 3, the "Schedule 13D"), with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of ValueVision Media, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 3 amends Items 3, 5 and 6 as set forth below. As of December 19, 2013, CMAG ceased to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock and as of December 20, 2013, GEHC ceased to own any shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 3 constitutes an exit filing for each of CMAG and GEHC.
Item 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows | |
Clinton used approximately $13,605,000 (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to purchase the Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D. Approximately $4,714,000 (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate was used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by Cannell.
The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Stock reported herein is the working capital of SPOT, CMAG, CREL, GEHC, CCP, the Cannell Investment Vehicles, and the Cannell Accounts for the shares of Common Stock held by each of them, and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such shares of Common Stock are held by the Reporting Persons in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein. |
Item 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Paragraphs (a) – (c) and (e) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: | |
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates is 4,899,994 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 9.8% of the Issuer’s currently outstanding Common Stock. The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock reported herein are based upon the 49,773,628 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 2, 2013, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended November 2, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2013. |
