Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per of 1-800 Contacts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) acquired by private investment funds managed by Perry Corp. (the “Shares”). The Shares herein were previously reported on a Schedule 13G filed on February 10, 2003, and amendments thereto. The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 66 E. Wadsworth Park Drive, Draper, UT 84020.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

This statement is filed on behalf of each of the following persons (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"):

This statement on Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Perry Corp., a New York corporation, and Richard C. Perry, an American citizen. Perry Corp. is a registered investment adviser that provides investment management services to private investment funds. Richard C. Perry is the President, sole director, and sole stockholder of Perry Corp. The principal business address of Perry Corp. and Richard C. Perry is 767 Fifth Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10153. A joint filing agreement of Perry Corp. and Richard C. Perry is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The names, citizenship, business addresses and principal occupations of each of the directors and executive officers of Perry Corp. (other than Richard C. Perry) are set forth in Exhibit B, which is incorporated herein by reference.

During the last five years, neither Perry Corp., Richard C. Perry, nor any of the persons listed in Exhibit B has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has 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 of finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Shares were acquired by two or more private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as a general partner and/or investment adviser. The source of funds for the purchase of the Shares was the working capital of such investment funds. The total purchase price for the Shares was $26,137,917.60. The Shares may be held in margin accounts established with various brokers by two or more private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as a general partner and/or investment adviser.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business by two or more private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as a general partner and/or investment adviser, and were not acquired with the purpose or intent of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer. This Schedule 13D is being filed as a result of the June 4, 2007 (the “Date of Event”) announcement of a proposed acquisition by a party unrelated to Perry Corp., which if consummated would result in a change in control of the Issuer. Although the proposed acquisition involves a party unrelated to Perry Corp., as a result of the announcement, Perry Corp. could be deemed, as of the Date of Event, to hold the Shares with the effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer. Perry Corp. may engage in communications with respect to the terms and conditions of the proposed acquisition with the Issuer and other stockholders of the Issuer or with other third parties, including the Issuer’s proposed acquirer or its affiliates.

 

 



CUSIP No. 681977104

Page 5 of 10 Pages

 

 

 

Perry Corp. reviews its holdings of the Issuer on an ongoing basis. Depending on such review, Perry Corp. may make additional purchases or sales of the Shares in the future and/or may seek to retain an investment in the Issuer after consummation of the acquisition. Except as otherwise described herein, none of Perry Corp., Richard C. Perry or the persons listed on Exhibit B have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions or changes contemplated in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D. Such person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and formulate such plans or proposals.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) – (b) As of the Date of Event, Perry Corp. is the indirect beneficial owner of 1,540,658 Shares, which constitutes 11.0% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares, based upon 14,009,591 Shares outstanding as of May 3, 2007. Perry Corp. has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of the 1,540,658 Shares. By virtue of his position as President and sole stockholder of Perry Corp., Richard C. Perry may be considered to indirectly beneficially own such Shares.

(c)           There have been no transactions with respect to the Shares during the sixty days prior to the Date of Event by either Perry Corp. or Richard C. Perry.

(d)           The limited partners of (or investors in) each of two or more private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as general partner and/or investment adviser have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held for the accounts of their respective funds in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their respective funds.

 

(e)

Not applicable.

Item 6.

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

Except for the arrangements described in Item 5(d) above, to the best knowledge of Perry Corp., there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the persons enumerated in Item 2 and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the Shares, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
