This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) is filed to amend the Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Adams Golf, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”), filed with the Commission by the reporting person on February 14, 2008 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D to disclose an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the reporting person. Such increase was caused by the vesting of restricted stock awards previously disclosed by the Company. On May 1, 2010, the date of the event requiring the filing of this Amendment No. 1, the reporting person acquired the right, within the following 60 days, to vote or dispose of an additional 37,500 restricted shares of Common Stock scheduled to vest on June 30, 2010 pursuant to March 13, 2008 and November 9, 2009 restricted stock awards. Subsequent to such date, the reporting person exercised an option previously awarded to the reporting person and sold shares of Common Stock then-acquired to cover tax liability incurred upon such exercise. Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, all share amounts and prices listed on this Amendment No. 1 reflect a 1-for-4 reverse stock split effected by the Company on February 15, 2008, and each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by inserting the following paragraphs at the end of such Item:
On March 13, 2008, pursuant to the employment agreement dated December 31, 2007 and the restricted stock award agreement dated March 13, 2008 between the Company and the reporting person, the Company granted to the reporting person a restricted stock award of 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The shares are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on disposition and vest in six equal installments on the last trading day of June and the last trading day of December over the three years beginning on the last trading day of June 2008 and continuing through the last trading day of December 2010, in each case, if and only if the reporting person is employed by the Company on each such date. The shares are also subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a change of control of the Company or any termination of the reporting person’s employment by the Company without cause or by the reporting person for good reason, in each case, pursuant to the employment agreement and the restricted stock award agreement.
On November 9, 2009, pursuant to the November 3, 2009 amendment to the employment agreement between the reporting person and the Company dated December 31, 2007 and the restricted stock award agreement dated as of November 3, 2009 between the reporting person and the Company, the reporting person was granted 175,000 restricted shares of Common Stock by the Company. 12,500 of the shares vested or will vest on each of the last trading day of June 2010 and the second to last trading day of December 2010. 37,500 of the shares vest on each of the last trading day of June 2011 and June 2012 and the second to last trading day of December 2011 and December 2012.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5, parts (a), (b) and (c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the reporting person is stated in Items 11 and 13 on the cover page(s) hereto and includes 385,821 shares which the reporting person has a right to acquire pursuant to stock options at an exercise price of $0.04 per share.
  (b) (i)   sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
      See Item 7 on the cover page(s) hereto.
 
  (ii)   shared power to vote or to direct the vote:
 
      See Item 8 on the cover page(s) hereto.
 
  (iii)   sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
      See Item 9 on the cover page(s) hereto.
 
  (iv)   shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
 
      See Item 10 on the cover page(s) hereto.

 

 


 

(c) Except as set forth below, there have been no transactions in the Common Stock by the reporting person during the 60-day period prior to the date of this filing: on August 30, 2010, the reporting person exercised an option to purchase 141,875 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.04 per share, or an aggregate of $5,675, pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 sales plan adopted by the reporting person on August 26, 2010. To cover the reporting person’s federal income tax liability associated with such exercise, pursuant to such Rule 10b5-1 sales plan, the reporting person on August 30, 2010, sold 55,000 shares of the Common Stock received upon such exercise for net aggregate proceeds of approximately $216,150. Such sales were made in open market transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market at a price of $3.93 per share.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
On December 31, 2007, the reporting person entered into a new executive employment agreement with the Company (the “New Employment Agreement”). The New Employment Agreement replaced the executive employment agreement dated February 19, 2005 between the reporting person and the Company. The New Employment Agreement provided for grants, for each calendar year of the New Employment Agreement, to the reporting person of 50,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, comprised of 25,000 shares on the last trading day of June and 25,000 shares on the last trading day of December.
The foregoing description of the New Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of the New Employment Agreement under Item 1.01 of the Form 8-K dated December 31, 2007 and filed January 3, 2008 by the Company with the Commission, which description is incorporated herein by reference. Such description does not reflect the 1-for-4 reverse stock split effected by the Company on February 15, 2008.
On March 13, 2008, as described in Item 3, above, the reporting person entered into a restricted stock award agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company granted the reporting person the 150,000 restricted shares of Common Stock that the Company agreed to grant the reporting person pursuant to the New Employment Agreement. 25,000 of such shares vested or will vest on each of the last trading day of June and December of 2008, 2009 and 2010. The foregoing description of the restricted stock award agreement dated March 13, 2008 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the restricted stock award agreement filed as Exhibit 99.5 to this Amendment No. 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 3, 2009, the reporting person entered into an amendment to the New Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”). In addition to the grants provided for in the New Employment Agreement, the Amendment provides that the reporting person will receive restricted shares of Common Stock as follows: (i) 25,000 shares during 2010, of which 12,500 shares vested on June 30, 2010 and 12,500 shares will vest on the second to last trading day of December 2011, (ii) 75,000 shares during 2011, of which 37,500 shares will vest half on the last trading day of June 2011 and 37,500 shares will vest on the second to last trading day of December 2011, and (iii) 75,000 shares during 2012, of which 37,500 shares will vest on the last trading day of June 2012 and 37,500 shares will vest on the second to last trading day of December 2012.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of the Amendment under Item 1.01 of the Form 8-K dated November 3, 2009 and filed November 6, 2009 by the Company with the Commission, which description is incorporated herein by reference.
On November 9, 2009, as described in Item 3, above, the reporting person entered into a restricted stock award agreement with the Company dated as of November 3, 2009, pursuant to which the Company granted the reporting person the 175,000 restricted shares of Common Stock that the Company agreed to grant the reporting person under the Amendment. 12,500 of such shares vested on June 30, 2010, 12,500 of such shares will vest on the second to last trading day of December 2010, and 37,500 of such shares will vest on each of the last trading day of June 2011 and June 2012 and the second to last trading day of December 2011 and December 2012. The foregoing description of the restricted stock award agreement dated as of November 3, 2009 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the restricted stock award agreement filed as Exhibit 99.6 to this Amendment No. 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 


 

On May 27, 2010, the reporting person adopted a sales plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Act to sell a portion of the shares described herein in an amount to satisfy federal income tax withholding requirements (the “May Sales Plan”). As of September 15, 2010, after giving effect to sales made under the May Sales Plan, the May Sales Plan provides for the sale of up to 14,250 shares of Common Stock described herein by the reporting person. The May Sales Plan expires by its terms on December 31, 2010.
On August 26, 2010, the reporting person adopted a sales plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Act (the “August Sales Plan”). As of September 15, 2010, after giving effect to sales made under the August Sales Plan, the August Sales Plan provides that the reporting person may exercise options described herein to purchase up to 141,875 shares of Common Stock and sell up to 55,000 of the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of such options to cover the federal income tax liability of the reporting person incident thereto. The August Sales Plan expires by its terms on December 31, 2010.
Pursuant to the vesting provisions of the restricted stock award agreements dated as of March 13, 2008 and November 3, 2009, the reporting person is entitled to receive from the Company an additional 187,500 restricted shares of Common Stock after the date this Amendment No. 1 is filed. Because the reporting person will not have the power to vote these additional restricted shares and these shares will not have been issued to the reporting person within 60 days from the date this Amendment No. 1 is filed for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act, the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership over these additional restricted shares for purposes thereunder.
In addition, the reporting person has the right to acquire 385,281 shares pursuant to stock options at an exercise price of $0.04 per share. The foregoing description of the stock options is qualified in its entirety by reference to the descriptions of the stock options in the proxy statement filed April 9, 2010 by the Company with the Commission, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.
Except as otherwise described herein, the reporting person has no legal or other contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship with any other person with respect to any securities of the Company.

WHEREAS, pursuant and subject to that certain Executive Employment Agreement dated December 31, 2007 by and between the Company and Participant (the “Employment Agreement”), the Adams Golf, Inc. 2002 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and this Agreement, the Company wishes to grant and issue restricted stock of 150,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company to Participant;
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and undertakings set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each party hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees as follows:
1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Pursuant and subject to the Employment Agreement, the Plan, and this Agreement, effective as of the date hereof (the “Date of Grant”), the Company grants and issues to Participant, and Participant accepts from the Company, a restricted stock award of the Shares. Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.
2. Restrictions on Vesting and Disposition.
(a) Requirement of Employment. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Employment Agreement, the Plan, or this Agreement or determined by the Committee, upon Participant’s termination of employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) for any reason at any time from 8:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time on the Date of Grant until 5:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time on December 31, 2010 (the “Restriction Period”), this Agreement shall immediately terminate as to any and all Shares still subject to any restriction(s) set forth in the Plan and/or this Agreement and Participant shall immediately (i) forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to such Shares and (ii) return such forfeited Shares (and any and all certificate(s) representing or evidencing such forfeited Shares) to the Company. Upon any forfeiture, all right, title, and interest of Participant with respect to any and all forfeited Shares shall cease and terminate, without any further obligation on the part of the Company.
(b) Additional Restrictions on Vesting and Disposition. Except as expressly permitted by the Plan, during the Restriction Period, Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any or all Shares that are still subject to any restriction(s) set forth in the Plan and/or this Agreement. Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence of this Section 2(b) shall expire and lapse with respect to the Shares as the Shares “vest” in favor of Participant in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

 

-1-


 

1/6th of the original aggregate Shares effective on and as of the last trading day of June and the last trading day of December (if and only if Participant shall be employed by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company as of 5:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time on and as of such date) for three (3) years beginning on the last trading day of June 2008 and continuing through the last trading day of December 2010.
(c) Consequences of a Change of Control. Subject to the Employment Agreement and the Plan, if, at any time during the term of the Employment Agreement prior to all Shares having vested pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, a majority of the capital stock of the Company is to be sold or transferred to an entity not associated or owned by the Company or its affiliates or substantially all of the assets of the Company are to be sold or transferred to an entity not associated or owned by the Company or its affiliates, then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, the restrictions and conditions on all non-Released Securities shall lapse and all of the non-Released Securities not previously vested shall vest, in each case, not later than the calendar day immediately preceding the effective time of the sale or closing date of the sale or transfer transaction and, in each case, in favor of Participant if (and only if) Participant is employed by the Company on a full-time basis on and as of such calendar day.
(d) Consequences of a Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Participant For Good Reason. Subject to the Employment Agreement and the Plan, if, at any time during the term of the Employment Agreement prior to all Shares having vested pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, Participant’s employment is terminated by (i) the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (ii) Participant for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, the restrictions and conditions on all non-Released Securities that would otherwise have become Released Securities within the twelve (12) month period following the date on which Participant was terminated shall lapse and all such Shares not previously vested shall vest, in each case, not later than the date of termination.
3. Capital Adjustment. Subject to the Plan, the Shares shall be subject to such adjustment as is appropriate to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, exchange of shares, reclassification, recapitalization, or the like of or by the Company.
4. Taxes; 83(b) Election. Subject to the Employment Agreement and the Plan, (i) Participant shall be responsible and liable for the payment of any and all taxes that become due as a result of this Agreement, the grant or issuance of the Shares, or as a result of the transfer or other disposition of the Shares, (ii) the Company may, at the option and the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, no later than the date as of which the value of any Shares first becomes includable in the gross income of Participant for federal income tax purposes, either withhold amount(s), as appropriate, in connection with or make arrangements with Participant regarding the payment of any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the restricted stock grant hereunder, and (iii) the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Participant. If Participant makes any election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Shares, Participant shall immediately give notice to the Company of such election. Participant shall be solely responsible for making any such election and the Company shall not be liable for any such election made or the failure to make such election.
5. Notices. All notices or other communications which are required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient if (i) personally delivered, (ii) sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or (iii) sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and undertakings set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each party hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agrees as follows:
1. Grant of Restricted Stock. Pursuant and subject to the Employment Agreement, the Plan, and this Agreement, effective as of the date hereof (the “Date of Grant”), the Company grants and issues to Participant, and Participant accepts from the Company, a restricted stock award of the Shares. Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Plan.
2. Restrictions on Vesting and Disposition.
(a) Requirement of Employment. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Employment Agreement, the Plan, or this Agreement or determined by the Committee, upon Participant’s termination of employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) for any reason at any time from 8:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time on the Date of Grant until 5:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time on December 31, 2012 (the “Restriction Period”), this Agreement shall immediately terminate as to any and all Shares still subject to any restriction(s) set forth in the Plan and/or this Agreement and Participant shall immediately (i) forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to such Shares and (ii) return such forfeited Shares (and any and all certificate(s) representing or evidencing such forfeited Shares) to the Company. Upon any forfeiture, all right, title, and interest of Participant with respect to any and all forfeited Shares shall cease and terminate, without any further obligation on the part of the Company.
(b) Additional Restrictions on Vesting and Disposition. Except as expressly permitted by the Plan, during the Restriction Period, Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any or all Shares that are still subject to any restriction(s) set forth in the Plan and/or this Agreement. Subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence of this Section 2(b) shall expire and lapse with respect to the Shares as the Shares “vest” in favor of Participant in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

12,500 of the original aggregate Shares effective on and as of the last trading day of June and the second to last trading day of December 2010 (if and only if Participant shall be employed by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company as of 5:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time on and as of such date) and 37,500 of the original shares effective on and as of the last trading day of June and the second to last trading day of December for the two (2) years beginning on the last trading day of June 2011 and continuing through the second to last trading day of December 2012.
(c) Consequences of a Change of Control. Subject to the Employment Agreement and the Plan, if, at any time during the term of the Employment Agreement prior to all Shares having vested pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, a majority of the capital stock of the Company is to be sold or transferred to an entity not associated or owned by the Company or its affiliates or substantially all of the assets of the Company are to be sold or transferred to an entity not associated or owned by the Company or its affiliates, then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, the restrictions and conditions on all non-Released Securities shall lapse and all of the non-Released Securities not previously vested shall vest, in each case, not later than the calendar day immediately preceding the effective time of the sale or closing date of the sale or transfer transaction and, in each case, in favor of Participant if (and only if) Participant is employed by the Company on a full-time basis on and as of such calendar day.
(d) Consequences of a Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Participant For Good Reason. Subject to the Employment Agreement and the Plan, if, at any time during the term of the Employment Agreement prior to all Shares having vested pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, Participant’s employment is terminated by (i) the Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (ii) Participant for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), then, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, the restrictions and conditions on all non-Released Securities that would otherwise have become Released Securities within the twelve (12) month period following the date on which Participant was terminated shall lapse and all such Shares not previously vested shall vest, in each case, not later than the date of termination.
3. Capital Adjustment. Subject to the Plan, the Shares shall be subject to such adjustment as is appropriate to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, share combination, exchange of shares, reclassification, recapitalization, or the like of or by the Company.
4. Taxes; 83(b) Election. Subject to the Employment Agreement and the Plan, (i) Participant shall be responsible and liable for the payment of any and all taxes that become due as a result of this Agreement, the grant or issuance of the Shares, or as a result of the transfer or other disposition of the Shares, (ii) the Company may, at the option and the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, no later than the date as of which the value of any Shares first becomes includable in the gross income of Participant for federal income tax purposes, either withhold amount(s), as appropriate, in connection with or make arrangements with Participant regarding the payment of any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the restricted stock grant hereunder, and (iii) the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to Participant. If Participant makes any election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with respect to the Shares, Participant shall immediately give notice to the Company of such election. Participant shall be solely responsible for making any such election and the Company shall not be liable for any such election made or the failure to make such election.
