Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment No. 2) is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March 25, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on September 30, 2013 (as amended, the Schedule 13D), and is being filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock) of Fredericks of Hollywood Group Inc., a New York corporation, with principal executive offices located at 6255 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA (the Issuer). This Amendment No.2 supplements or amends the Schedule 13D as set forth herein.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to include the following:
(ac) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Harbinger Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (HGI), FOHG Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (FOHG Holdings), and Mr. Philip Falcone (together with HGI, the Reporting Persons).
The shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D are beneficially owned by HGI and held in the name of HGI Funding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (HGI Funding) and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of HGI. Although FOHG Holdings does not own directly any securities of the Issuer, FOHG Holdings was formed for the purpose of acquiring the Issuer pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
Mr. Falcone does not own directly any securities of the Issuer. However, as a result of Mr. Falcones position as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of HGI and his relationship with the Controlling Persons (as defined below), Mr. Falcone may be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership in the Common Stock reported herein except to the extent it or he actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such Common Stock.
The information required by General Instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to (i) the executive officers and directors of HGI is listed on Schedule A hereto under the heading HGI Executive Officers and Directors; and (ii) each person controlling HGI is listed on Schedule A hereto under the heading HGI Controlling Persons (the persons identified in clause (i) and (ii), the Controlling Persons and, together with the Reporting Persons, the Harbinger Persons). HGI is a holding company with its principal business address located at 450 Park Avenue, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10022. Mr. Falcone is a United States citizen. Mr. Falcone is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of HGI and has the relationship with the Controlling Persons described in Schedule A hereto.
Certain additional information required by this Item 2 and General Instruction to Schedule 13D is set forth on Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein.
CUSIP No. 35582T108 | Page 6 of 15 |
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following paragraph:
It is anticipated that the funding (including expenses) required for the Merger (as defined below) will be up to approximately $6 million. On October 10, 2013, the Issuer, FOH Holdings, Inc., Fredericks of Hollywood, Inc., Fredericks of Hollywood Stores, Inc. and Hollywood Mail Order, LLC (collectively, the Borrowers) entered into a Fourth Amendment (Fourth Amendment) to that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2012 (as amended, supplemented, modified and in effect upon effectiveness of the Fourth Amendment, the Credit Agreement), by and among the Borrowers, Salus CLO 2012-1, Ltd. and Salus Capital Partners, LLC, (Lender). The Fourth Amendment provides, among other things, for an increase in the revolving line of credit provided for under the Credit Agreement by $11,000,000, from $24,000,000 to $35,000,000. $5,000,000 of the $11,000,000 increase was advanced to the Company on October 10, 2013, and up to the full amount of the remaining $6,000,000 will be funded upon the consummation of the Merger. The $5,000,000 advance is to be repaid on April 10, 2014 if the Merger is not consummated by that date, or alternatively on or prior to May 31, 2015 (the Termination Date) pursuant to the Credit Agreement if the Merger is consummated on or before April 10, 2014. The additional $6,000,000 payment (plus any additional amount that the Lender may elect to advance in its sole discretion) is to be used for payment of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and fees, expenses, costs and obligations incurred in connection with the Merger, and is to be repaid pursuant to the Credit Agreement on the Termination Date.
This summary of the Fourth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Fourth Amendment which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 16, 2013.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following paragraphs:
On December 19, 2013, the Issuer announced in a press release (the Press Release) that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) with FOHG Holdings and FOHG Acquisition Corp., a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of FOHG Holdings (Merger Sub), dated December 18, 2013. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the Merger), and at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares, Dissenting Shares, Affiliate Stock Options, Affiliate Company Awards and Affiliate Warrants (each as defined in the Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive $0.27 in cash, without interest. Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including obtaining the requisite approval of the Issuers shareholders under its constituent documents and applicable New York law.
The Merger Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties that the parties thereto have made to each other. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter that modify, qualify and create exceptions to such representations and warranties. In addition, these representations and warranties were made as of the date of the Merger Agreement. Representations and warranties are frequently utilized as a means of allocating risks, both known and unknown, rather than to make affirmative factual claims or statements. Accordingly, persons that are not parties to the Merger Agreement should not rely on the representations and warranties as current characterizations of factual information about the Issuer, FOHG Holdings or Merger Sub.
CUSIP No. 35582T108 | Page 7 of 15 |
The purpose of the Merger is for FOHG Holdings to acquire all of the publicly held Common Stock of the Issuer. If the Merger is consummated, the Common Stock will no longer be publicly traded and will cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and the Issuer will be privately held by FOHG Holdings. The information disclosed in this paragraph and in the preceding paragraph of this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Press Release and Merger Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

TTG and HGI Funding, in their capacities as holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, also provided their consent to the Merger and waived their rights to receive certain payments as provided in the Issuers Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The information disclosed in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Voting Agreement, copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, HGI Funding and TTG entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Series A SPA), dated December 18, 2013. Pursuant to the Series A SPA, HGI Funding agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase from TTG 14,900 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,490,000.

As discussed further below, the Warrants may not be exercised unless the Corresponding Securities (as defined below), which are not beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, are exercised or converted prior to, or simultaneously with, the exercise of the Warrants.

None of the Harbinger Persons have, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). Except as set forth below, none of the Harbinger Persons have, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
In June 2012, Harbinger LLC settled administrative proceedings regarding compliance with Rule 105 of Regulation M with respect to three offerings. In connection with the settlement, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(e) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, making findings, and imposing remedial sanctions and a cease-and-desist order against Harbinger LLC for three violations of Rule 105. The order censured Harbinger LLC and requires Harbinger LLC to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Rule 105. Harbinger LLC paid disgorgement, prejudgment interest and a civil monetary penalty in connection with the order. Harbinger LLC also consented to the issuance of the order without admitting or denying any of the findings contained therein.
On September 18, 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a final Judgment (the Final Judgment) approving a settlement between the Commission and Harbinger LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., and Mr. Falcone (collectively, the HCP Parties), in connection with two civil actions previously filed against the HCP Parties by the Commission. One civil action alleged that Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., and Philip Falcone violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws by engaging in market manipulation in connection with the trading of the debt securities of a particular issuer from 2006 to 2008. The other civil action alleged that Harbinger LLC and Mr. Falcone violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with a loan made by the Special Fund to Mr. Falcone in October 2009 and in connection with the circumstances and disclosure regarding alleged preferential treatment of, and agreements with, certain fund investors.
