INTRODUCTION

On August 11, 1999, an Order Making Findings, Imposing Remedial Sanctions, and Issuing a Cease-and-Desist Order ("Order") was issued in this matter against Respondents Americorp Securities, Inc. ("Americorp"), then a registered broker-dealer, and Drew Edgar Schaefer ("Schaefer"), Americorp's former chief executive officer and chairman of the board. Americorp Securities, Inc. and Drew Edgar Schaefer, Exchange Act Release No. 41728 (August 11, 1999). The Commission accepted Respondents' Offers of Settlement in which they consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying the Commission's findings.

In the Order, the Commission found that Americorp and Schaefer violated the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by: (1) illegally soliciting aftermarket orders for the stock of PHC, Inc. ("PHC") before its initial public offering ("IPO") on March 3, 1994 became effective; and (2) illegally delaying the execution of orders for PHC stock until the end of the trading day on March 3, 1994 in order to sell PHC stock to Americorp's customers at higher prices.

The Order required Schaefer to pay to the Commission disgorgement of $750,000, plus prejudgment interest, representing Respondents' alleged unjust enrichment from the above-described violations of the securities laws. Based upon Schaefer's demonstrated inability to pay more than $200,000 in disgorgement, the Order waived $550,000 in disgorgement plus prejudgment interest, and ordered Schaefer to pay $200,000 in disgorgement. The disgorgement was paid on August 26, 1999.

On November 1, 2000, by delegated authority the Commission approved a Plan of Disgorgement Distribution ("Distribution Plan").

Pursuant to Rule 610 of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. §201.610, the Division of Enforcement submitted this Amended Plan of Disgorgement Distribution ("Amended Distribution Plan").

A. DEFINITIONS

"Affected Accounts" shall mean all retail customer accounts in which purchase orders for PHC common stock were executed by Americorp at the end of the day on March 3, 1994, in one of two batched transactions, at a price of $6 per share (including markup) (the "March 3, 1994 batched transactions"). Affected Accounts, however, shall not include the accounts of Respondents or any officers, employees, and family members thereof, nor the three retail accounts into which Respondents placed approximately 19 percent of the units offered in the PHC IPO as part of a prearranged plan, as described in Paragraph II.5. of the Order ("Nominee Accounts").
"Claimants" shall mean the holders of Affected Accounts, or their lawful successors or representatives.
"Disgorgement Fund" shall mean the $200,000 in disgorgement paid to the Commission by Schaefer.

B. ALLOCATION OF THE DISGORGEMENT FUND

Each Claimant returning a valid Proof of Claim form shall receive the total of the Affected Account's pro rata distribution for each Affected Account for which such Claimant has made a claim on the Disgorgement Fund. Claimants who had more than one Affected Account will be entitled to receive the pro rata distribution for each Affected Account.
Each Affected Account's pro rata distribution shall be calculated as follows: The Disgorgement Fund ($200,000) shall be divided by the total number of shares of PHC common stock purchased in all the Affected Accounts in the March 3, 1994 batched transactions (408,500 shares), yielding a per-share amount of $0.489596. Each individual Affected Account's pro rata distribution shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of shares of PHC common stock purchased in each Affected Account by $0.489596. All pro rata distributions shall be rounded to the nearest dollar ($1.00).
If, after following the procedures for locating Claimants as set forth in Section C below, the Plan Administrator is unable to distribute more than 80% of the Disgorgement Fund ($160,000), the Plan Administrator shall distribute pro rata the remainder of the Disgorgement Fund to all Claimants who returned a valid Proof of Claim form ("Secondary Distribution"). The Secondary Distribution shall be calculated as follows: The remainder of the Disgorgement Fund shall be divided by the total number of shares of PHC common stock purchased by all Claimants who returned a valid Proof of Claim, yielding a second per-share amount. Each such Claimant's second pro rata distribution shall be calculated by multiplying the total number of shares of PHC common stock purchased in that Claimant's Affected Account by the second per-share amount. All pro rata distributions shall be rounded to the nearest dollar ($1.00). In no event shall the sum of any claimant's Initial and Secondary Distributions be greater than the total number of shares of PHC common stock in their Affected Accounts multiplied by $1.836 ($750,000/408,500).

C. IDENTIFICATION AND LOCATION OF CLAIMANTS

On the basis of its investigation, and using records and information provided by Respondents and others, the Division has identified all potential Affected Accounts and Claimants. Using information provided by Respondents and others and any information obtained as a result of publication of notices of the Division's proposed Distribution Plan, the Division has compiled, and will continue to update, a list of the Claimants' last known addresses.
By February 28, 2002, the Administrator had caused Proof of Claim forms, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, to be sent to all Claimants by First Class Mail, requesting Claimants to send in completed Proof of Claim forms within 45 days.
The Administrator has caused reasonable efforts, including the use of commercial computer databases, to be made to locate any Claimants whose Proof of Claim forms have been returned by the Post Office as undeliverable or whose Proof of Claim forms have not been returned. Within 10 days after the approval of this Amended Plan, the Administrator shall cause a notice to be published on the Commission website informing all potential claimants of the Amended Plan. (the "Notice")

D. DISTRIBUTION OF THE DISGORGEMENT FUND

Within the first 10 days of the end of the calendar quarter following the Commission's approval of this Amended Plan of Disgorgement, the Administrator shall report to the Commission on the status of the distribution, including (a) the number of Claimants who were sent Proof of Claim forms, (b) the number of Claimants submitting completed Proof of Claim forms, (c) the number of Proof of Claim forms returned as undeliverable, and (d) the steps taken to locate Claimants whose Proof of Claim forms were returned as undeliverable ("Quarterly Report"). The Administrator shall thereafter submit a Quarterly Report to the Commission within 10 days of the end of each subsequent quarter until the Disgorgement Fund is terminated as described in paragraph 12 below.
Simultaneous with the submission to the Commission of this Amended Plan of Disgorgement, the Administrator has applied to the Commission for an order approving a distribution to all claimants who, at that point in time, have returned valid Proof of Claim forms.
When the Administrator concludes that all Claimants who can be located through reasonable efforts have been located, and that it is appropriate to terminate the Disgorgement Fund, she shall apply to the Commission for an order approving the Secondary Distribution, if any, to all Claimants who have returned valid Proof of Claim forms, terminating the Disgorgement Fund, and directing the payment of any remaining funds to the United States Treasury. The Administrator shall not seek a distribution under this paragraph until the Notice has been on the Commission web site for at least six months.

E. APPOINTMENT AND DUTIES OF ADMINISTRATOR

Due to the manageable size of the Disgorgement Fund and limited pool of potential claimants, and in order to maximize the funds available for distribution, Leslie Kazon, Esq., an Assistant Regional Director in the Division's Northeast Regional Office, shall be appointed Administrator of the Disgorgement Fund.

The Administrator shall carry out the duties specified by this Plan of Distribution including the following:

a.	identification of all Affected Accounts;
b.	identification of all Claimants;
c.	calculation of the dollar amount to be allocated to each Claimant based on the number of PHC shares purchased in the Affected Accounts through the March 3, 1994 batched transactions;
d.	reasonable efforts to identify and locate Claimants;
e.	the filing of any forms or reports for the Disgorgement Fund as may be required to be filed under the Internal Revenue Code;
f.	the mailing to each Claimant receiving a distribution any forms or reports as may be required under the Internal Revenue Code; and
g.	the submission of the reports specified in Paragraph 10 above.

In carrying out her duties, the Administrator may be assisted by other Commission staff acting under her supervision. In addition, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on information provided by Respondents concerning the identification of the Affected Accounts and Claimants, as well as the number of PHC shares purchased in the Affected Accounts in the March 3, 1994 batched transactions.

Other than the reports specified in Paragraph 10 above, the Administrator shall not be required to report or account to the Commission.
Pursuant to Rule 614(c) of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. §201.614(c), the Administrator shall receive no compensation, other than her regular salary as an employee of the Commission, for her services in administering the Disgorgement Fund.
The Administrator shall be entitled to rely on any orders issued in this proceeding by the Commission, the Secretary by delegated authority, or an Administrative Law Judge, and may not be held liable to any person for any act or omission to act in the course of administering the Disgorgement Fund, except upon a finding by the Commission or an Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding of gross negligence or willful failure to comply with the terms of the Distribution Plan or any orders issued in this proceeding.
