Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 1”) relates to shares of Common Stock, $0.0017 par value (the “Common Stock”) of MRV Communications, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on August 10, 2011 (the “Original 13D”) pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Amendment No. 1 amends Item 4 as set out below. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby supplemented by adding the following to the end of the second paragraph thereto:
The Reporting Persons are committed to influencing the Issuer to re-list the Issuer’s Common Stock on NASDAQ as soon as possible. The Reporting Persons are also committed to influencing the Issuer to immediately start holding regular quarterly conference calls between the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer and stockholders of the Issuer.
This Schedule 13D is not a solicitation of any action by stockholders of the Issuer. If a proxy statement is completed and filed, stockholders are advised to read the proxy statement when it becomes available because it will contain important information, and stockholders should rely on such proxy statement and not on this Schedule 13D. The proxy statement, if filed, will be available for free at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 and/or Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, although neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the entities or person that such a group exists. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the 13,584,712 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by all of the Reporting Persons combined (approximately 8.6% of the Common Stock of the Issuer), and each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of each other Reporting Person. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of the Common Stock held by any other Reporting Person, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the others.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
Dated: August 11, 2011.
