This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by Martin Capital Management, LLP (“MCM”) on May 18, 2006, as amended on April 23, 20007 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Emmis Communications Corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as expressly set forth herein, there have been no changes in the information set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The Common Shares covered by this Schedule 13D were purchased by the Covered Persons and by MCM on behalf of its investment management clients and certain employee and pro bono accounts between September 28, 2001 and August 8, 2007 for approximately $39.5 million (cost basis adjusted at $1.40 per share, as per the special dividend paid by the Issuer on November 22, 2006). The source of funds for the purchases was cash available for investment from the Covered Persons and from such clients and accounts.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) and (b). The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. MCM is the investment manager for client accounts, which together beneficially own an aggregate of 3,044,266 Common Shares. MCM has the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Common Shares held in these client accounts. MCM also has the power to direct the vote and disposition of an additional 48,089 Common Shares held in certain employee, pro bono and similar accounts. The Covered Persons directly beneficially own an aggregate of 117,460 Common Shares, comprised of 14,800 Common Shares held by Dennis D. Blyly, 18,770 Common Shares held by Todd B. Martin, 77,366 Common Shares held by Frank K. Martin, and 6,524 Common Shares held by Andrew P. Wilson. Accordingly, MCM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate amount of 3,209,815 Common Shares.

The Covered Persons, as partners of MCM, may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of Common Shares reported by MCM.

MCM disclaims beneficial ownership of the 3,209,815 Common Shares held in the accounts described above or held by the Covered Persons. The Covered Persons each disclaim beneficial ownership of the Common Shares reported above except, for each Covered Person, the respective amount reported as directly beneficially owned by such Covered Person.
