CUSIP No. 784109209 13D

This Amendment No. 7 to Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 7”) amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 10, 2012, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of SED International Holdings, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 7 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 7 and prior amendments, the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The source of funds for the acquisition of the Common Stock reported in the tables set forth on the cover page to this Amendment No. 7 for an aggregate purchase price of $2,768,224.78, including brokerage commissions, was working capital of Gad Partners Fund LP and Paragon Technologies, Inc.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock reported in this Statement for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may in the future acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock held by them in open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable. The Reporting Persons may engage in short selling or hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

 

None of the Reporting Persons has any present plan or proposal that would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as set forth below. The Reporting Persons reserve the right in the future to formulate any such plans or proposals, and to take any actions with respect to their investments in the Company, including any or all of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Paragon Technologies, Inc. intends to continue to pursue representation on the Company’s board of Directors, whether through discussions with the Company, taking action to remove one or more or all of the current members of the board and/or elect one or more or all of the members of the board at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Company or otherwise, buying additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, effecting a tender offer for some or all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, or through other means. Paragon has recently engaged in discussions with the Company regarding representation on the Company’s board, but these discussions have not resulted in an offer from the Company that is satisfactory to Paragon. Pursuant to requirements contained in the Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, Paragon has submitted notice of its intent to nominate five director candidates at the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, Hesham M. Gad, Dennis L. Chandler, Jack H. Jacobs, Klaus-Dieter Wurm and Samuel S. Weiser. This preserves Paragon’s right to nominate these five individuals at the Company’s 2013 annual meeting. Each of Messrs. Chandler, Gad, Jacobs, Weiser and Wurm have provided consents to Paragon to be nominated as a director of the Company, to being named as a director nominee in any proxy and/or consent solicitation materials of Paragon, and to serve on the board of the Company if elected or appointed. As of the date of this Amendment No. 7, Mr. Jacobs beneficially owns 15,737 shares of the Common Stock of the Company, and Mr. Chandler beneficially owns 2,500 shares of the Common Stock of the Company.

 

On June 13, 2013, Paragon also submitted a notice of special meeting to the Company, which would permit the Company’s shareholders to vote on the removal of Samuel A. Kidston, J.K. Hage III and Arthur Goldberg from the Company’s board for “cause” and to vote on their replacements to the board and the election of two additional directors to the board. Although the Company has not notified Paragon of any deficiency in Paragon’s notice of special meeting, the Company has failed to comply with its obligations under law to call and hold the special meeting.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) The Reporting Persons beneficially own in the aggregate 1,285,564 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 24.89% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each of Gad Partners Fund LP and Paragon Technologies, Inc. beneficially owns the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock disclosed as beneficially owned by them in the applicable tables set forth on the cover page to this Amendment No. 7.

 

Each percentage ownership of shares of Common Stock set forth in this Amendment No. 7 is based on the 5,165,500 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company as outstanding as of May 1, 2013 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to its quarterly period ended March 31, 2013.

 

(c) Each of the transactions effected by the Reporting Persons in the Common Stock through the open market from April 19, 2013 through August 8, 2013 is set forth on Schedule A.
