EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 3”) is being filed with respect to the Reporting Persons beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of ZipRealty, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 3 supplements the Schedule 13D previously filed on March 27, 2013 and amended on August 30, 3013(“Amendment No. 1”) and June 5, 2014 (Amendment No. 2”) (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 3 is being filed primarily to report the open market sales by the Reporting Persons on July 16, 2014 (as reported in the Form 4 filed with the SEC by the Reporting Persons on July 18, 2014) and to disclose that the Reporting Persons ceased to be an owner of more than five percent of the class of Common Stock after giving effect to the transactions reported herein.

 

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source and amount of funds (excluding commissions) used by the Funds in making their purchase of the shares of Common Stock owned by each of them in the aggregate was $2,328,956 from working capital.

The source and amount of funds (excluding commissions) used by Mr. Lewis individually in making his purchase of the shares of Common Stock owned by him personally in the aggregate was $28,541.09 from his personal funds.

One or more of the Reporting Persons effect purchases of securities through margin accounts which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and brokers’ credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The information under this Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following text:

On July 16, 2014, the Reporting Persons effected open market sales of the Common Stock of the Issuer as set forth below in Item 5(c).

 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The Reporting Persons beneficially own:

 

  (i) Fund I directly owns 452,709 shares of Common Stock representing 2.1% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

  (ii) Fund II directly owns 253,464 shares of Common Stock representing 1.2% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

  (iii) Fund III directly owns 53,803 shares of Common Stock representing 0.2% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

  (iv) Osmium Partners, as the general partner of each of the Funds, may be deemed to beneficially own the 759,976 shares of Common Stock held by them, representing 3.5% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

  (v) Mr. Lewis individually owns 14,600 shares of Common Stock representing 0.1% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Lewis may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Osmium Partners.


  (vi) Collectively, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 774,576 shares of Common Stock representing 3.6% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock other than the shares owned directly and of record by such Reporting Person.

The percentages set forth in this response are based on the 21,684,807 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 1, 2014, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as filed with the SEC on May 9, 2014.

(b) Osmium Partners and Mr. Lewis may be deemed to share with Fund I, Fund II, and Fund III (and not with any third party) the power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 452,709 shares of Common Stock, 253,464 shares of Common Stock, and 53,803 shares of Common Stock reported herein, respectively. Mr. Lewis, individually, has the power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 14,600 shares of Common Stock reported herein as individually owned by him.
