This Amendment No. 2 to Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 10, 2012, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of SED International Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 2, the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The source of funds for the acquisition of the Common Stock reported in the tables set forth on the cover page to this Amendment No. 2 for an aggregate purchase price of $1,956,712.70, including brokerage commissions, was working capital of Gad Partners Fund LP and Paragon Technologies, Inc.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Paragon Technologies, Inc. has requested that the Company appoint two persons designated by Paragon to the Company’s Board of Directors. As of this date, this request has not resulted in an offer from or agreement with the Company relating to such request. Paragon intends to further pursue representation on the Company’s Board of Directors, whether through discussions with the Company, taking action to remove one or more or all of the current members of the Board of Directors and/or elect one or more or all of the members of the Board of Directors at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company or otherwise, buying additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, effecting a tender offer for some or all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or through other means. Paragon believes that a holder of 18.6% of the Company’s Common Stock should have representation on the Company’s Board of Directors, and Paragon intends to represent and advance the interests of all shareholders of the Company through any board representation that it attains.
As the Company’s single largest shareholder, we believe the Company’s Board currently raises various corporate governance concerns, including but not limited to: director independence, relevant experience, compensation practices, and concerns over the issuance and purchases of the Company's stock. The Company’s financial performance has also continued to deteriorate since the present Board has been in charge of the Company.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 951,822 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 18.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Gad Partners Fund LP and Paragon Technologies, Inc. directly hold the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock disclosed as beneficially owned by them in the applicable tables set forth on the cover page to this Amendment No. 2.
Each percentage ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in this Amendment No. 2 is based on the 5,109,089 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company as outstanding as of November 1, 2012 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to its quarterly period ended September 30, 2012.
(c) The transactions effected by each of the Reporting Persons in the Common Stock on and since December 28, 2012, the date of filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, through January 14, 2013 are set forth on Schedule A. Each of these transactions was effected through the open market.
