Introductory Note:

 

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends a Statement on Schedule 13D dated May 18, 2000 by Richard Horowitz and Linda Horowitz, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed jointly by Richard Horowitz, the Estate of Linda Horowitz (the “Estate”) and The Article FOURTH Trust u/w/o Linda Horowitz (the “Trust”) on May 23, 2007 and Amendment No. 2 filed jointly by Richard Horowitz, the Estate and the Trust on April 28, 2008 (such Statement on Schedule 13D as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule 13D”).

 

Amendment No. 3 is being filed: to reflect the distribution of 660,200 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of P&F Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) by the Trust to Richard Horowitz, the discretionary principal beneficiary of the Trust; to reflect that the Trust is no longer a member of a group filing this Schedule 13D; and to reflect the vesting and expiration of certain options to purchase shares of Common Stock owned by Richard Horowitz; and to reflect a transaction by Mr. Horowitz, each as set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined, have the meaning previously assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D. All items or responses not described herein remain as previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

 

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

Item 2 is amended insofar as necessary to indicate that the Trust is no longer a member of a group filing this Schedule 13D and to delete other references to the Trust.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The information contained in Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

 

On June 24, 2008, Richard Horowitz was granted options to purchase 145,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.16 per share, which vested as to 29,000 shares on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant under the Issuer’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”). All of such options terminate ten years after the date of grant. None of such options have been exercised and there was no consideration paid in connection with such grant or vesting.

 

On July 9, 2012, Richard Horowitz exercised options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Such options were exercised on such date by written notice and payments in cash to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of the 2002 Plan and Mr. Horowitz’s option agreement relating to such options.

 

On July 12, 2012, ten-year options to purchase 33,336 shares, which were granted to Richard Horowitz in July 2002, expired under the terms of the 2002 Plan. There was no consideration paid relating to such expiration.

 

On July 5, 2013, the Trust distributed 660,200 shares of Common Stock to Richard Horowitz, the discretionary principal beneficiary of the Trust. Mr. Horowitz was already a deemed to be beneficial owner of such 660,200 shares. There was no consideration paid relating to such distribution.

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The information contained in Item 5 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended by replacing the first paragraph thereof with the following paragraph in its entirety:

  

(a), (b) and (d). The responses of each reporting person to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover page of Amendment No. 3 are incorporated herein by reference. Included in the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Richard Horowitz are 245,188 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options within 60 days of the filing of Amendment No. 3.
