SCHEDULE 13G/A
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment”) to Schedule 13G (the “Schedule 13G”), relating to shares of Common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Netflix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is being filed on behalf of TCS Capital GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TCS GP”), and Eric Semler the principal of TCS GP.
This Schedule 13G relates to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by Eric Semler and TCS GP for the accounts of (i) TCS Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TCS Capital”), (ii) TCS Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TCS Capital II”), and (iii) TCS Capital Investments, L.P. a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“TCS Offshore”). TCS Capital holds 71,500 shares of the Common Stock, TCS Capital II holds 311,300 shares of the Common Stock, and TCS Offshore holds 586,200 shares of the Common Stock. TCS GP acts as general partner to each of TCS Capital, TCS Capital II and TCS Offshore; and Mr. Semler, as manager of TCS GP, controls the investment decisions of TCS GP.
This Amendment is being filed to amend and restate Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13G as follows:
Item 4  
Ownership.
  (a)  
TCS GP (as the general partner of TCS Offshore, TCS Capital II and TCS Capital) is the beneficial owner of 969,000 shares of Common Stock, and Eric Semler (as the principal of TCS GP) is the beneficial owner of 969,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
  (b)  
TCS GP is the beneficial owner of 1.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and Eric Semler is the beneficial owner of 1.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. These percentages are determined by dividing 969,000 and 969,000, respectively, by 58,669,096, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2008, as reported by the Issuer in a Form 10-Q filed on November 3, 2008.
 
  (c)  
As the general partner of TCS Offshore, TCS Capital II and TCS Capital, TCS GP has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 969,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. As the principal of TCS GP, Eric Semler has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 969,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him.
Item 5  
Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [X].
