This Amendment No. 3 relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock") of SONICblue Incorporated (formerly known as S3 Incorporated), a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the statements contained in the Schedule 13D, as heretofore filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, are hereby reaffirmed and shall remain in effect. Item 2. Identity and Background. VIABASE currently owns 198,000 shares of Common Stock. VIABASE owns a warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share. Timtech currently owns no shares of Common Stock. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. On August 28, 2000, VIA entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Issuer regarding the formation of a new joint venture. On January 3, 2001, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Timtech sold 1,073,000 shares of Common Stock to VIABASE for an aggregate consideration of $12,034,766, and VIABASE delivered 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock to S3 Graphics Co., Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation, in return for securities of that corporation. S3 Graphics Co., Ltd. immediately delivered the shares to the Issuer in exchange for certain assets of the Issuer. On the same date, the Issuer issued to VIABASE a warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, and the Amended and Restated 7 CUSIP NO. 784849101 13D Page 7 of 9 pages Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2000, attached as Exhibit 5 to the Original Schedule 13D, was amended to include the shares purchasable by VIABASE pursuant to the Warrant. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. The number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and the percentage calculations resulting therefrom in this Schedule are based on the number of shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of October 19, 2000 in the Issuer's Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2000, minus the 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock delivered as described in Item 4 above. VIA, VIABASE, Timtech and Mr. Chen disclaim responsibility for the accuracy of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and the resulting percentage calculations. VIA indirectly and beneficially owns 2,198,000 shares of Common Stock (including 198,000 shares owned by VIABASE), representing approximately 2.7% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock. VIABASE directly owns 198,000 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 2.7% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Neither Timtech nor Mr. Chen directly owns any shares of Common Stock. VIA and VIABASE have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 2,198,000 shares of Common Stock. 8 CUSIP NO. 784849101 13D Page 8 of 9 pages Timtech and Mr. Chen disclaim any beneficial interest in the Common Stock owned by VIABASE or beneficially owned by VIA.
