Amway International Inc. is located at 7575 Fulton Street East, Ada, Michigan 49355-001.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

            On June 10, 2008, May 29, 2009, November 9, 2009 and February 1, 2010, Pyxis loaned $4,000,000, $1,000,000, $2,000,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, to the Issuer as part of a credit facility described in more detail in Item 4(a) below.  The source of Pyxis’ funds for these transactions was an intercompany loan from Alticor Inc. to Pyxis.   

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

            The information set forth in Item 4 of Amendment No. 8 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

            (a)        As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 8, on March 10, 2009, Pyxis and the Issuer entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Pyxis extended the term of a credit facility to March 31, 2010 and provided that all borrowings under the credit facility would be due on August 16, 2011.  The notes issued under the credit facility are convertible into shares of the Issuer’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a conversion price equal to $5.6783 per share. 

 

            As previously disclosed in Amendment No. 9, on August 10, 2009, Pyxis and the Issuer entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Pyxis extended the term of the credit facility to January 1, 2011.

 

            The Second Amendment extended the term of the credit facility to June 30, 2011.  All borrowings under the credit facility remain due on August 16, 2011.

            The Issuer has elected to draw down an aggregate principal amount of $9,000,0000 under the credit facility in exchange for four convertible notes issued to Pyxis, leaving $5,316,255 of available credit under the credit facility.

 


 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

            (a)        Pyxis beneficially owns 36,632,735 shares of the Issuer’s stock, which is approximately 59.2% of the sum of the number of the Issuer’s Common Stock that was outstanding as of October 29, 2009 (as reported in the Issuer’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) plus the number of shares that would have been outstanding upon conversion of all of the preferred stock and the convertible notes held by Pyxis as of such date.

            Alticor Inc., Solstice Holdings Inc., and Alticor Global Holdings Inc. may be deemed to beneficially own the same 36,632,735 shares of the Issuer’s stock.

            The number of shares reported in this Item 5(a) includes 6,884,056 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Pyxis (as of February 3, 2010), 28,160,200 shares of Common Stock issuable to Pyxis upon conversion of its 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as of February 3, 2010) and 1,588,479 shares of Common Stock issuable to Pyxis upon conversion of the convertible notes issued June 10, 2008, May 29, 2009, November 9, 2009 and February 1, 2010 (as of February 3, 2010).  In determining Pyxis’ beneficial ownership percentage above, a division calculation is used wherein 36,632,735 is the numerator and the denominator is equal to the sum of: (a) all shares of Common Stock outstanding (as reported by the Issuer), (b) 28,160,200 shares issuable to Pyxis upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (c) 1,588,479 shares issuable to Pyxis upon the conversion of the convertible notes. 

            The calculations in this Item 5(a) are based on the Issuer having 32,102,435 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 29, 2009, as reported in the Issuer’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In addition, these calculations assume no outstanding options or other rights to obtain Common Stock have been exercised by their holders except for the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and convertible notes by Pyxis as described herein or as otherwise indicated by the Issuer.

            None of the other persons named in Item 2 of Amendment No. 8 is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock except to the extent beneficial ownership of shares owned by Pyxis may be attributed to such person.

 

            (b)        Pyxis holds the sole power to vote and dispose of the securities of the Issuer that it holds.  Alticor Inc., Solstice Holdings Inc., and Alticor Global Holdings Inc. have the power to direct the voting and disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by Pyxis by virtue of their direct or indirect control of Pyxis.  

            (c)        None

 

            (d)        Not applicable

 

            (e)        Not applicable

 


SCHEDULE 13D

 

            The responses to (a) of this Item 5 are “Not Applicable” for the Directors and Officers named in Item 2 of Amendment No. 8.  The responses to paragraph (b) and (c) of this Item 5 are “Not Applicable” and “None”, respectively, for Alticor Inc., Solstice Holdings Inc., Alticor Global Holdings Inc., and the Directors and Officers named in Item 2 of Amendment No. 8.

 

            In addition, the information included in Item 4 above and in Item 4 of Amendment No. 8 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

            The information set forth in Item 6 of Amendment No. 8 and in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 10 is incorporated herein by reference.
