11 This Amendment No. 5 ("Amendment No. 5") amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") filed on March 27, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on September 11, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 2 filed on October 25, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 3 filed on January 15, 2003 and as amended by Amendment No. 4 filed on November 17, 2004 by and on behalf of Whippoorwill Associates, Inc. ("Whippoorwill"), Shelley F. Greenhaus ("Mr. Greenhaus"), David A. Strumwasser ("Mr. Strumwasser"), Vega Partners, L.P., Vega Partners II, L.P., Vega Partners III, L.P., Vega Partners IV, L.P., Whippoorwill Partners, L.P., Vega Offshore Fund Ltd. and Whippoorwill Profit Sharing Plan (the foregoing being referred to collectively as the "Reporting Persons") with respect to their ownership of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Barneys New York, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. The responses to Item 4 (Purpose of Transaction) and Item 5 (Interest in Securities of the Issuer) are hereby amended as follows: ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. As previously reported, on November 10, 2004, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Jones Apparel Group, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation ("Jones") and Flintstone Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 20, 2004, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Jones and each holder of Common Stock became entitled to receive $19.00 per share in cash, without interest. Consequently, the Reporting Persons are no longer the beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (a) The information in Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 5 is incorporated herein by reference. As of December 20, 2004, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock. (b) The information in (i) Rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 5 and (ii) Item 5(a) hereof is incorporated herein by reference. (c) The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 5 is incorporated herein by reference. (d) Not applicable. (e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock on December 20, 2004. 12 SIGNATURES After reasonable inquiry and to the best knowledge and belief of the undersigned, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
