SCHEDULE 13D

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Levine Leichtman Capital Partners II, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “Partnership”), LLCP California Equity Partners II, L.P., a California limited partnership (the “General Partner”), Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, Inc., a California corporation (“Capital Corp.”), Arthur E. Levine (“Mr. Levine”) and Lauren B. Leichtman (“Ms. Leichtman” and, together with the Partnership, the General Partner, Capital Corp. and Mr. Levine, the “Reporting Persons”), hereby file this Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). This Amendment amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission on November 18, 2002 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on December 17, 2002, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 14, 2003, as further amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 25, 2003, as further amended by Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on August 22, 2003 as further amended by Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on November 10, 2003, as further amended by Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on October 15, 2004, as further amended by Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on March 3, 2005, as further amended by Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on April 22, 2005, and as further amended by Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on May 18, 2005, relating to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Overhill Farms, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

The Original Schedule 13D, as amended by each such Amendment, is referred to herein as this “Amended Schedule 13D.”

 

This Amendment is being filed pursuant to a Joint Reporting Agreement dated November 15, 2002, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Schedule 13D, among and on behalf of the Reporting Persons.

 

All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amended Schedule 13D. The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 13D. All Rule citations used in this Amendment are to the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of such Item:

 

On September 30, 2005, Steven E. Hartman voluntarily resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. Mr. Hartman is a Vice President and a Principal of Levine Leichtman Capital Partners, Inc., the sole general partner of LLCP California Equity Partners II, L.P. which, in turn, is the sole general partner of the Partnership. There was no disagreement between Mr. Hartman and the Issuer on any matter relating to the Issuer’s operations, policies, practices or otherwise.

 

Page 7 of 12


As previously noted in this Amended Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons previously acquired shares of Common Stock in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes and, except as described below, not with the purpose of changing, obtaining, acquiring or influencing control of the Issuer. The Partnership may use its board designee, board observer, operating committee and other investor rights under the Second Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, the Investor Rights Agreement and/or the other Investment Documents (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended) as described in the Amended Schedule 13D and this Amendment in a manner which could result in the Partnership changing, obtaining, acquiring or influencing control of the Issuer.

 

As with other investments held by the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons consider various alternatives to increase the value of their equity securities in the Issuer and may from time to time consider implementing such alternatives. The Reporting Persons retain the right, depending on market conditions and/or other factors, to change their investment intent, to acquire from time to time additional shares of Common Stock (or debt or other equity or equity-linked securities of the Issuer), to exercise all or a portion of the Warrants, to convert all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares into Common Stock and/or to sell or otherwise dispose of at any time or from time to time, in open market transactions, private transactions, transactions with affiliates of the Issuer or otherwise, all or part of the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof, the Series A Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, the Common Stock or any other securities in the Issuer in any manner permitted by law.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

(a) Each Reporting Person is deemed to be the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a) of the Exchange Act) of an aggregate of 5,771,663 shares of Common Stock, including 5,488,387 shares of Common Stock, 200 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the December 2002 Restated Warrants and 283,076 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares (see Items 3 and 4 above and Item 6 below). Such aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons would have constituted, as of July 28, 2005, approximately 38.0% of the shares of such class (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act and assuming that 14,889,197 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of such date, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 3, 2005, filed with the Commission on July 28, 2005).

 

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Reporting Persons may also be deemed to be beneficial owners, for purposes of the election or appointment of the LLCP Representative to the Board as described in Items 4 above and 6 below, of additional shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by James Rudis (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options currently held by him

 

Page 8 of 12


which have not been exercised). As of the date of this Amendment, there is no LLCP Representative serving on the Board. The Reporting Persons have no pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Rudis and disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.

 

(b) The Partnership may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 5,771,663 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, the Partnership may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to additional shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Rudis.

 

By virtue of being the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 5,771,663 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, the General Partner may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to additional shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Rudis.

 

By virtue of being the sole general partner of the General Partner, Capital Corp. may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 5,771,663 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, Capital Corp. may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to additional shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Rudis.

 

By virtue of being the sole directors and shareholders, and executive officers, of Capital Corp., each of Mr. Levine and Ms. Leichtman may be deemed to have (i) sole and dispositive voting power with respect to no shares of Common Stock and (ii) shared voting and dispositive power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to 5,771,663 shares of Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, for purposes of electing or appointing the LLCP Representative to the Board, each of Mr. Levine and Ms. Leichtman may be deemed to have shared voting power with all other Reporting Persons with respect to additional shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Rudis.

 

(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) Not applicable.
