This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share, of E Com Ventures, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal
executive offices are located at 251 International Parkway, Sunrise, FL 33325.
This Amendment relates to the Schedule 13D originally filed June 19, 2003 by
Glenn H. Nussdorf, as amended July 7, 2003, July 9, 2003 and July 11, 2003 by
Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf (as amended, the "Initial Schedule
13D"). Item 4 of the Initial Schedule 13D is being amended to reflect a change
in the purpose of the investment by Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf in
the Issuer's Common Stock. Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf may be
considered a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, although each disclaims beneficial ownership
of the securities owned by the other. Except as provided herein, the Amendment
does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 is hereby supplemented and amended as follows:
Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf may, depending on market conditions,
acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of securities of the
Issuer.
Glenn H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf have requested that the Board of
Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") approve the potential acquisition by Glenn
H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf of additional shares of Issuer's Common
Stock to increase their aggregate holdings to approximately 40% of the Issuer's
Common Stock. This approval will exempt the additional shares from the
provisions of Section 607.0902 of the Florida Statutes, as they apply to
"control-shares".
In the event the Board approves such potential acquisition, Glenn H. Nussdorf
and Stephen L. Nussdorf may acquire such shares of the Issuer's Common Stock in
privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases, or both, to increase
their aggregate holding as described above. Following such an acquisition, Glenn
H. Nussdorf and Stephen L. Nussdorf may seek to: (a) influence Issuer's
management, (b) obtain representation on the Board and/or (c) pursue a
negotiated business combination or transaction between or among the Issuer and
one or more independent companies or companies affiliated with Glenn H. Nussdorf
and Stephen L. Nussdorf.
