This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) to the joint statement on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on November 10, 2008 with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Initial Filing”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on November 14, 2008 with respect to the Initial Filing, as amended by Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on November 25, 2008 with respect to the Initial Filing, and as amended by Amendment No. 3 on Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on December 18, 2008 with respect to the Initial Filing (the Initial Filing, as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) amends the Schedule 13D as follows:

 

1. Item 3 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 2,466,943 shares of Common Stock for $8,178,285.20 using working capital from the Fund and the proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Fund with a broker on customary terms and conditions.”

 

2. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity, and such purchases have been made in the Reporting Persons’ ordinary course of business.

The Reporting Persons intend to review continuously their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Persons, or cease buying or selling such securities; any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The Reporting Persons may wish to engage in a constructive dialogue with officers, directors and other representatives of the Issuer, as well as the Issuer’s shareholders; topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, the Issuer’s markets, operations, competitors, prospects, strategy, personnel, directors, ownership and capitalization. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer. The factors that the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuer’s business include the following: (i) the Issuer’s business and prospects; (ii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iii) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interests; (iv) general economic conditions; (v) stock market conditions; (vi) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (vii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.


CUSIP No. 719427106     Page 8 of 11 Pages

 

Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4.

Except as set forth above, including the Reporting Persons’ efforts with respect to the Fund’s interest in making an offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their options but do not have at this time any specific plans that would result in (a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or Board of Directors of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Issuer’s Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuer’s Common Stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.”

 

3. Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“(a) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own, as of March 10, 2009, 2,466,943 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 18.2% of such class of securities. The Fund, the GP, as the sole general partner of the Fund, and each Manager, as a management committee director of the GP, each beneficially owns, as of March 10, 2009, 2,466,943 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 18.2% of such class of securities. These percentages of beneficial ownership are based on a total of 13,577,118 shares of the Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2008, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008.”

 

4. The first clause of Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“No Reporting Person, other than the Fund as set forth in the table below, effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock from September 1, 2008 (the date 60 days prior to the event which required the initial filing of this statement) to March 10, 2009:”

 

5. The table contained in Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended by adding the following rows (but not the column headings, which are included herein for reference only) to the bottom of the table:
