SECURITY AND ISSUER This Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed on January 13, 2010 (the "Original Schedule 13D", as amended hereby and by Amendment No. 1 filed on March 3,2010, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the common stock, no par value (the "Shares"), of GSI Group Inc., a company continued and existing under the laws of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment amends Item 4 as set forth below. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following: On March 12, 2010 TCP II and the other Consenting Noteholders reached an agreement in principle with the Issuer Parties as to modifications to the Plan Support Agreement and the Plan. Pursuant to the modified Plan, the Noteholders would receive, in exchange for their Notes, new convertible preferred stock of the reorganized Issuer (the "Preferred Stock") and New Senior Secured Notes. The Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, would represent approximately 53.8% of the Issuer's post-consummation outstanding common shares. The Preferred Stock would have a 1x liquidation preference and be mandatorily redeemable after 8 years for cash or, if certain conditions are met, common shares of the reorganized Issuer. The holders of the Preferred Stock would vote on an as converted basis together with the holders of common shares. In addition, pursuant to the modified Plan, the aggregate principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes being issued to the Noteholders will be approximately $110,000,000, increased from $95,000,000. The modifications to the Plan will also include (i) increasing the recovery of existing equity holders of the Issuer from 18.6% of the Issuer's post-consummation outstanding common shares to 41.1%, which would be issued in common shares of the reorganized Issuer and (ii) issuing one series of three-year warrants to existing equity holders of the Issuer exercisable into a number of common shares equal to 10% of 110% of the Issuer's post-consummation outstanding common shares, with a strike price of $2.50, rather than two series of warrants each for 10% of 110% of the Issuer's post-consummation outstanding common shares, with a strike price of $1.10 and $2.00 respectively. The parties anticipate entering into a modified Plan Support Agreement, under which the Noteholders would agree to support the modifications to the Plan as summarized above. - ---------------------------- ---------------------------- CUSIP No. 36229U102 SCHEDULE 13D Page 7 of 7 Pages - ---------------------------- ---------------------------- Signature After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
