Item 1.

Security and Company

 

This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 4”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Radyne Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 3138 East Elwood Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85034.  This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in Items 1, 4 and 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on July 26, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on September 12, 2007, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on November 7, 2007 and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on November 16, 2007 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.  Except as amended by this Amendment No. 4, all information contained in the Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge and belief, true, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 4.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following as the sixth and seventh paragraphs thereof:

 

On November 26, 2007, Discovery Group received a response from legal counsel to the Company responding to Discovery Equity Partners’ November 6, 2007 and November 15, 2007 demand letters requesting to inspect certain books and records of the Company under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) relating to, among other things, any discussions concerning any acquisition, change of control of, or merger or other combination with, the Company, or any proposal or request for information related thereto.  The letter from the Company’s counsel stated that the Company believes that Discovery Group’s request for books and records does not present a proper purpose under Section 220 of the DGCL.  The letter further stated that although the Company respects the status of Discovery Equity Partners as a shareholder of the Company, Discovery Equity Partners has not articulated a sufficient rationale to permit it to conduct an “exploratory expedition” of the Company’s confidential information.

 

On December 17, 2007, Discovery Equity Partners sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Company stating that this denial by the Company of Discovery Equity Partners’ lawful right to review these books and records and the Board’s failure to be forthright with this information confirms to Discovery Equity Partners that the Board has refused to consider offers for the Company that would provide a significant premium to shareholders.  Discovery Equity Partners further stated that it no longer has confidence that the Company’s current Board of Directors will diligently uphold the interests of the Company’s public shareholders and that the Board is in need of Directors who will seek to explore all alternatives in the interest of all shareholders.  Discovery Equity Partners indicated that it intends to nominate alternative candidates for election to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and would be providing the Company specifics on these nominations within the time frame specified in the Company’s By-Laws.  Discovery Equity Partners also demanded under Section 220 of the DGCL that the Company allow Discovery Equity Partners, its counsel and proxy solicitors to examine the Company’s stockholder lists for purposes of contacting the Company’s stockholders regarding, among other things, the election of directors at the Company’s 2008 Annual Meeting.  The description of the aforementioned letter of Discovery Equity Partners contained in this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such letter, which is included as Exhibit 4 to this Amendment No. 4 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Company

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between or among any of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company other than the governing documents of Discovery Group and the Partnerships, the margin loan facilities referred to under Item 3 of the Schedule 13D, the Joint Filing Agreements of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Schedule 13D that were included as exhibits thereto, the Joint Filing Agreement of the Reporting Persons with respect to this Amendment No. 4 included as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment No. 4, and the Powers of Attorney granted by Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy with respect to reports under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which Powers of Attorney are included as

Board of Directors

Radyne Corporation

c/o Corporate Secretary

3138 East Elwood Street

Phoenix, AZ 85034

 

                    Re:      Intent to Nominate Alternative Directors & Demand for Shareholder List

 

Dear Radyne Directors:

 

Discovery Equity Partners, L.P. (“Discovery”) received your counsel’s letter denying our lawful right to review Radyne’s books and records on the specific matter of previous offers to acquire the Company.  Your failure to be forthright with this information confirms to us that the Board has refused to consider offers for Radyne that would provide a significant premium to shareholders.

 

We have sound reason to believe that several qualified suitors have approached Radyne with a desire to pay all shareholders a price that significantly exceeds the trading price of Radyne stock. We also believe that the Board categorically dismissed these bona fide offers without serious consideration.  As a result, the Board has not fulfilled its duties to evaluate all alternatives available for shareholders.  If such  an objective evaluation existed, you would have offered to share it with us, one of your largest shareholders.

 

We no longer have confidence that the current Board will diligently uphold the interests of the Company’s public shareholders. The Radyne Board is in severe need of Directors that will seek to explore all alternatives in the interest of all shareholders. Discovery therefore intends to nominate alternative candidates for election to Radyne’s Board of Directors at the 2008 Radyne annual meeting.  We plan to provide specifics on these nominees within the time frame specified in the Radyne By-Laws.

 

Discovery, as a stockholder of Radyne,  hereby demands under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law that Radyne allow Discovery’s proxy solicitors or counsel, or such other person or persons as such proxy solicitors or counsel may designate to you in writing, to examine and to make copies and extracts from, the following:

 

1.                                       Radyne’s list of its stockholders as of a current date, certified by Radyne’s transfer agent and showing the name and address of each shareholder and the number of and series of shares held by each shareholder.

 

2.                                       Copies of each of the following information or documents to the extent such information or documents are in the Radyne’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by Radyne:

 

                                (a)  any information concerning the number and identity of the beneficial owners of Radyne’s shares that can be obtained from the nominees of any central depository for such shares, such as CEDE & Co. (any such information, a “CEDE List”),

 



 

                                (b)  any non-objecting beneficial owner list (a “NOBO List”) produced pursuant to Rule 14b-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from those brokers and other institutions that hold Radyne’s shares on behalf of the beneficial owners thereof, including the names, addresses and shareholdings of each non-objecting beneficial owner so listed,

 

                                (c)  any consenting or non-objecting beneficial owner list (a “COBO List”) produced pursuant to SEC Rule 14b-2 from those banks that hold Radyne’s shares on behalf of the beneficial owners thereof, including the names, addresses and shareholdings of each consenting or non-objecting beneficial owner so listed (a “COBO List”), and

 

                                (d)  any daily transfer list or sheet (a “Daily Transfer List”) showing changes in Radyne’s beneficial owners from the information set forth in the aforementioned CEDE Lists, NOBO Lists and COBO Lists.

 

To the extent that Radyne or any of its agents acquires any CEDE List, NOBO List, COBO List or Daily Transfer List relating to Radyne’s stockholders after it shall have complied with this request, this request shall constitute a request to examine and make copies of such list not later than five business days after Radyne obtains such materials.

 

The purpose of the inspection demand set forth above is to enable Discovery, as a stockholder of Radyne, to contact other record and/or beneficial owners of Radyne’s shares for the purpose of communicating with those owners regarding the election of directors at Radyne’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and other matters pertinent to that meeting.

 

The undersigned affirms that the statements made in this letter are true, and that the documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of Radyne common stock by Discovery previously provided by Discovery to Radyne is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and remains true and correct on the date hereof, in each case under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States.

 

Sincerely,
