Introduction

This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on March 23, 2010, as amended on May 3, 2010, May 11, 2010, May 25, 2010, July 15, 2010 and October 12, 2010 (the “Filing”), by the Reporting Persons relating to the common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Vitacost.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Information reported in the Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Filing.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The description of the Stockholder Agreement contained in Amendment No. 5 to the Filing (“Amendment No. 5”) contained an incorrect summary of one provision of the Stockholder Agreement, which provision related to the circumstances in which the Voting Standstill Period (as defined in Amendment No. 5) is terminated or suspended following any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock. The Stockholder Agreement provides that the Voting Standstill Period will be suspended or terminated, as the case may be, following any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock with the prior approval of the Majority Independent Board (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement).

Accordingly, Item 6 is hereby amended to replace the second bullet under the description of the Stockholder Agreement with the following:

 

   

that the Voting Standstill Period will be suspended or terminated, as the case may be, following (i) any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock with the prior approval of the Majority Independent Board (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement), (ii) the public announcement by the Issuer that it has entered into a definitive agreement with the prior approval of the Majority Independent Board providing for, among other things, a merger or similar transaction, reorganization, restructuring or liquidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets, or (iii) any material breach of the Stockholder Agreement by the Issuer;
