SCHEDULE 13D |
Item 1. Security and Issuer
----------------------------
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on May 19, 2006 by Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, Kevin A. Richardson, II, Henry J. Lawlor, Jr., Murray A. Indick, Charles E. McCarthy and Christian Puscasiu. This amendment to the Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value (the Common Stock) of eDiets.com, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the Issuer). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is 3801 W. Hillsboro Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33442. The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Scheduled 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
--------------------------------
On June 13, 2006, the Reporting Persons agreed to acquire 255,605 shares of common stock of the Issuer in a privately negotiated transaction at a price of $4.42 per share. The Stock Purchase Agreement is Exhibit B, hereto. The shares were purchased from Mr. Ciaran McCourt, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. The transaction was consummated on June 15, 2006.
In addition, the Reporting Persons have acquired shares of Common Stock in the open market since the Schedule 13D was filed, as disclosed below in Item 5.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a),(b) According to the Issuers 10-Q filed on May 15, 2006 and the 8-K filed on May 16, 2006, there were 23,971,355 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 16, 2006. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of 9,698,161 shares of Common Stock, representing 40.5% of common stock outstanding, held by Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. Voting and investment power with respect to 4,853,931 shares are held solely by Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. As previously disclosed by the Reporting Persons, Mr. David Humble retains voting and investment power with respect to 4,287,136 shares, pending shareholder approval of a transaction described in the initial Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons, but has entered into a Voting Agreement with the Reporting Persons pursuant to which these shares are to be voted in favor of that transaction. Mr. Humble retains voting and investment power with respect to 260,064 shares that are not subject to sale to the Reporting Persons but which are to be voted in favor of that transaction pursuant to the Voting Agreement. In addition, the Reporting Persons expect to acquire an additional 297,030 shares from the Issuer following shareholder approval, again as previously disclosed by the Reporting persons.
