Item 4 is hereby supplemented and amended to include the following information: |
|
The Reporting Person caused the Liberty Put Purchase and the related N2P Contribution to be consummated in compliance with the provisions of the LLC Agreement and as part of a related internal restructuring. The Reporting Person caused the Issuer Acquisition to be consummated to maintain, at least in part, its proportionate beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer.

|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Person may determine to change its intention with respect to the Issuer at any time in the future and, in so doing, may, for example, elect (i) to acquire additional shares of the capital stock of the Issuer by any means, including, without limitation, in open market or privately negotiated transactions or (ii) to dispose of all or a portion of its direct or indirect holdings of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. In reaching any conclusion as to its future course of action, the Reporting Person will take into consideration |
4
various factors, such as the Issuers business and prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, other business opportunities available to the Reporting Person, developments with respect to the business of the Reporting Person, and general economic and stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Common Stock of the Issuer. |
|
Other than as set forth in this Amendment, the Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (1) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (2) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (3) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (4) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (5) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (6) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure; (7) changes in the Issuers certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any persons; (8) a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (9) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (10) any action similar to those enumerated above. |
|
Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: |
|
(a) The Reporting Person owns 1,250,000 shares (the Liberty Shares) of Common Stock through Liberty N2P III, a wholly owned subsidiary of LMC Animal Planet, which is a majority owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person. In addition, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the 28,896,750 shares of Class A Common Stock held by NTOP Holdings (the NTOP Shares and together with the Liberty Shares, the Shares), which shares are convertible into 28,896,750 shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder. Each share of Class A Common Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to two votes, whereas each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The Shares represent 41.08% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer and 57.7% of the outstanding voting power of the Issuer, based upon a total of 73,388,749 shares outstanding, consisting of 44,502,571 shares of Common Stock, and 28,913,250 shares of Class A Common Stock, as reported by the Issuer in its Prospectus, dated November 19, 2003 (File No. 333-110118), filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) with the Commission on November 20, 2003. |
|
To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the Schedule 1 Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, other than (i) Larry E. Romrell, a director of the Reporting Person, who owns 2,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) Charles Y. Tanabe, an executive officer of the Reporting Person, who owns 300 shares of Common Stock. |
|
(b) The Reporting Person holds the Liberty Shares through Liberty N2P III, a wholly owned subsidiary of LMC Animal Planet. Through its control of LMC Animal Planet, the Reporting Person has sole power to vote or direct the voting of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the Liberty Shares. |
|
NTOP Holdings has the sole power to vote or to direct the voting of the NTOP Shares. The Reporting Person does not have sole or shared voting power with respect to any of the NTOP Shares. NTOP Holdings may not dispose of any of the NTOP Shares without the consent of all of its members, including Liberty N2P and Liberty N2P II, each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LMC Animal Planet. The Reporting Person, through its control of LMC Animal Planet, may therefor be deemed to share dispositive power over the NTOP Shares with the other members of NTOP Holdings: IDT Investments and IDT Domestic-Union, LLC (IDT Domestic-Union), each of which is a subsidiary of IDT. Information on the other members of NTOP Holdings is provided in a separate Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on October 25, 2001. The Reporting Person, for itself and each of its subsidiaries, disclaims membership in a group with NTOP Holdings, IDT Investments, IDT Domestic-Union or any other person with respect to the Common Stock. The filing of this Amendment shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person or any of it subsidiaries has beneficial ownership of any of the NTOP Shares. |
5
To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, Mr. Romrell has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock owned by him, and Mr. Tanabe has sole voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock owned by him. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held by Messrs. Romrell and Tanabe. |
|
(c) Except for the Issuer Acquisition described in Item 3, no transactions in any securities of the Issuer have been effected by the Reporting Person, or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the Schedule 1 Persons during the past 60 days. |
|
Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: |
|
(a) LLC Agreement. The terms and conditions of the membership interests of NTOP Holdings are set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2001, as amended (the LLC Agreement), of NTOP Holdings, by and among AT&T, AT&T Sub, IDT, IDT Domestic-Union, IDT Investments, the Reporting Person and LMC Animal Planet. As described in Item 3 above, AT&T and AT&T Sub have sold their membership interests in NTOP Holdings to subsidiaries of IDT and the Reporting Person. Accordingly, neither AT&T nor AT&T Sub has any rights or obligations under the LLC Agreement. Material terms of the LLC Agreement related to the NTOP Shares include the following: |
|
(i) Limitation on Transfer. NTOP Holdings is not permitted to sell, transfer (other than a transfer to a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTOP Holdings), pledge or hypothecate any of the NTOP Shares without the consent of all its members. |

(ii) Voting. The board of managers of NTOP Holdings shall make all decisions relating to the casting of votes in respect of the shares on all matters submitted to a vote of, or seeking the written consent of, the stockholders of Net2Phone, including the election and removal of directors to the board of directors of Net2Phone. The holder or holders of a majority of the Class A-1 membership interests of NTOP Holdings (currently IDT Domestic-Union) have the right to appoint all five managers of NTOP Holdings board of managers. However, for so long as LMC Animal Planet owns a majority of the membership interests owned by it on October 19, 2001, the Class A-1 member or members have agreed to cause one nominee selected by LMC Animal Planet to be appointed as a manager of NTOP Holdings. |
|
(iii) Distribution upon Liquidation. Upon dissolution of NTOP Holdings and following payment to all creditors, any member of NTOP Holdings may elect to receive distributions in kind of Class A Common Stock held directly or indirectly by NTOP Holdings to be distributed prior to any sale of shares of Class A Common Stock or any other assets of NTOP Holdings. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be distributed will be determined after the shares are marked-to-market based on the average (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000) of the closing prices of the Class A Common Stock during regular trading hours on the principal market on which shares of Class A Common Stock are then listed or quoted (whether the NASDAQ National Market, The New York Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange or association) for the twenty (20) trading days up to and including such date. |
|
The foregoing summary of terms of the LLC Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the LLC Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibits 7(a) and 7(b) to the Original Statement and is incorporated herein by reference. |
|

(JP Morgan) and Jefferies & Company, Inc. Material terms of the Lock-Up Agreement related to the Liberty Shares include the following: |
|

6
exchangeable for Common Stock or (B) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, in each case without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan, except that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to (1) any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock that are owned by NTOP Holdings, (2) any transactions in respect of the membership interests of NTOP Holdings or (3) any transfer of shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, to affiliates of Liberty N2P III (provided that any such affiliate enters into a similar lock-up agreement). In addition, Liberty N2P III may tender and sell, exchange or otherwise transfer any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, pursuant to a tender, exchange or similar offer for shares of Common Stock. |
|
(ii) No Exercise of Registration Rights. During the period ending 90 days after November 19, 2003, Liberty N2P III may not make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, in each case without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan. |
