ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
This Amendment No. 7 to this statement on Schedule 13D (this Schedule 13D) relates to the
Common Shares, no par value per share (the Common Shares), of Cryptologic Limited, a Guernsey,
Channel Islands corporation (the Issuer or the Company), the principal executive offices of
which are located at Marine House, 3rd Floor, Clanwilliam Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. This Amendment
No. 7 amends and restates in full each of the items set forth below. Terms used but not defined in
this Amendment No. 7 shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D as
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2008 (Original 13D).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Shares disclosed herein as
part of his investment activities.
On December 4, 2008, Mr. Aziz entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase
Agreement) with Pabrai Investment Fund 4, L.P. (PIF4), Pabrai Investment Fund II, L.P. (PIF2),
Pabrai Investment Fund 3, Ltd. (PIF3) and Dalal Street LLC (Dalal Street, and collectively with
PIF4, PIF3 and PIF2, the Sellers). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Aziz acquired
from the Sellers 550,000 Common Shares and the option described in the following sentence for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,265,000. Mr. Aziz also acquired an option (the Option) to purchase
up to 489,394 Common Shares of the Company (collectively, the Option Shares) from the Sellers on
the following terms and conditions: (a) beginning on December 4, 2008 and continuing through
December 17, 2008, Mr. Aziz had the option to purchase all or a portion of the Option Shares, in
increments of 10,000 shares, at a price equal to $2.12 per share; and (b) beginning on December 18,
2008 and continuing through the termination of the parties obligations under the Stock Purchase
Agreement on January 30, 2009, Mr. Aziz had the option to purchase all or a portion of any
remaining Option Shares, in increments of 10,000 shares, at a price equal to $2.12 per share;
provided, however , that if Mr. Aziz exercised such option on a date when the closing sale price
per share of the Common Shares as reported on the NASDAQ on such date (the Closing Price) was
greater than $2.12 per share (the amount of such difference being called the Excess Amount), then
the purchase price per share would be equal to (i) $2.12 plus (ii) 50% of the Excess Amount. In
addition, beginning on December 18, 2008 and continuing through the termination of the parties
obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement on January 30, 2009, the Sellers were required,
prior to selling any such Common Shares to any individual or entity other than Mr. Aziz, to first
provide Mr. Aziz with an opportunity to purchase such shares on terms and conditions satisfactory
to the Sellers. The foregoing summary of the Stock Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety
by reference to that document, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and is
incorporated by reference herein.
On December 17, 2008, the Reporting Person partially exercised the Option and acquired 320,000
Common Shares from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $678,400. Immediately following
such exercise, the Option remained exercisable for 169,394 Option Shares on the terms summarized
above.
On January 30, 2009, in accordance with Section (3)(b) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Reporting Persons acquired 168,994 Common Shares from the Sellers for an
-3-
aggregate purchase price of $625,278. The Reporting Person and the Sellers also agreed to terminate
all rights, obligations and agreements under the Stock Purchase Agreement (including the Option) as
of that date.
The Reporting Person expects to continuously review his investment in the Issuer and,
depending on various factors, including but not limited to, his evaluation of the business and
prospects of the Issuer, the price of the Common Shares, the terms and conditions of the
transaction, prevailing market conditions and such other considerations as the Reporting Person
deems relevant, may at any time or from time to time, and subject to any applicable regulatory
requirements, acquire additional Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Shares from time to time on the open market, in privately-negotiated
transactions, or upon the exercise or conversion of securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Shares.
The Reporting Person also may, at any time, subject to compliance with any applicable
regulatory requirements, dispose of some or all of his Common Shares, or such other securities he
owns or may subsequently acquire depending on various factors, including but not limited to, his
evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer, the price of the shares, the terms and
conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions, as well as liquidity and
diversification objectives. In addition, the Reporting Person may, from time to time, enter into
stock trading plans intended to satisfy the requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule
10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act).
The Reporting Person, together with his representatives, may, at any time and from time to
time, engage in a dialogue with members of the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer, as
well as with other stockholders and other interested parties, regarding the Issuer, potential
strategic alternatives available to the Issuer to increase stockholder value and other matters
relating to the Reporting Persons investment in the Common Shares of the Issuer, including,
without limitation, the business, operations, governance, management, strategy and future plans of
the Issuer. The Reporting Person also intends to participate in and influence the affairs of the
Issuer through the exercise of his voting rights with respect to his shares of Issuer stock.
On December 4 and 5, 2008, the Reporting Person sent the Chairman of the Board of the Issuer
correspondence, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, expressing his view that the Company should promptly execute on a recovery plan designed
to stabilize revenues, streamline the Issuers size and operations, achieve significant cost
reductions, more effectively manage cash flows, review and simplify the Issuers legal, tax and
management structure, reduce the number of locations from which the Issuer conducts its operations,
reduce the number of exchanges on which the Common Shares are traded, and take other steps to
improve the Issuers operating and financial performance. The Reporting Person also expressed his
desire, as of that date, to serve on the Board of Directors of the Issuer along with a second
appointee, with such persons replacing two existing directors. On December 23, 2008, the Company
issued a press release expressing its belief that many of the issues raised by the Reporting Person
were being addressed by the Issuers management and indicating that the Issuers Board of Directors
had determined to reject the request for greater shareholder representation on the Board via the
proposed addition of the Reporting Person and a second appointee. The Reporting Person intends to
continue this dialogue and closely monitor his investment in the Issuer.
-4-
On January 9, 2009, the Reporting Person sent the Chairman of the Board of the Issuer
correspondence, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, updating and expanding his views and analysis with respect to the Companys operations
and strategic direction. The Reporting Person also reiterated his then-current desire to serve on
the Board of Directors of the Issuer along with a second appointee, with such persons to replace
two existing directors.
On February 18, 2009, the Reporting Person sent correspondence and notices to the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 4 hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. The notices were sent pursuant to Guernsey law and request that the Board of
Directors of the Issuer call an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the stockholders of the
Issuer, for the purposes of considering and voting on certain resolutions specified in the notices,
including resolutions to (1) remove an existing director (Mr. Yap Wai Ming) effective immediately,
(2) appoint the Reporting Person as a director of the Issuer, (3) have the Board of Directors of
the Issuer promptly implement arrangements to improve corporate governance and independence,
including that the Board of Directors of the Issuer be comprised of a majority of directors who are
independent and unrelated to the Issuer and that the existing Chairman of the Board resign from
such position and be replaced by a director who is independent and unrelated to the Company and (4)
cancel immediately employee share options returned to the Company following the end of an
individuals employment (and/or notice period) with the Company with no such returned share options
to be recycled back into the share option pool for re-use.
On February 23, 2009, the Company issued a press release expressing its belief that the
Reporting Persons requisitions for an EGM of the shareholders appear insufficient to cause an EGM
to be called due to Issuers belief that such requisitions do not relate to shares equaling a
minimum of 10% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of the Issuer. The Company also
announced that it had sent a letter to the Reporting Person regarding such requisitions. On
February 24, 2009, the Company issued a press release and filed with the U.S. and Canadian
regulatory authorities a copy of such letter. On March 4, 2009, the Reporting Person notified the
Board of Directors of the Company that he does not seek to rely on the requisitions for an EGM
which he sent on February 18, 2009. On March 5, 2009, the Company issued a press release stating
that it would not be calling an EGM pursuant to the Reporting Persons requisitions.
On March 16, 2009, the Reporting Person sent the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Company correspondence, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 5 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, expressing his view that while he owns in excess of 10% of the Common Stock of the
Issuer and is able to lawfully requisition an EGM, he no longer believes an accelerated timescale
for an EGM is necessary. The Reporting Person also waived his right to the EUR1.5M bonus payment
payable to him in the event there is a change of control of the Company on or before April 30,
2009. The Reporting Person also updated and expanded his views and analysis with respect to the
Companys operations, strategic direction and corporate governance. The Reporting Person also
reiterated his desire that the Board of Directors of the Issuer be composed of a majority of
independent directors.
The Reporting Person was pleased to note that the Company announced in May 2009 that it had
determined to implement certain changes in its Board of Directors. Following the implementation of
such changes in June 2009, the Board is now composed of a majority of independent directors and is
chaired by an independent Chairman who has no financial conflict
-5-
of interest. The Reporting Person believes that this will enhance corporate governance at the
Company and better positions the Board of Directors to consider a complete range of strategic
alternatives.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, which was consummated on July 23, 2009, by and between
the Reporting Person and Dunn Street Investments Limited (Buyer) (the Stock Purchase
Agreement), the Reporting Person agreed to sell 630,000 Common Shares to the Buyer for 4.10 per
share or an aggregate purchase price of 2,583,000 (approximately U.S. $3,625,263).
Except as indicated herein, the Reporting Person does not have any plan or proposal that
related to or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time,
review or reconsider his position and/or change his purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals
with respect thereto.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) - (b) The following table sets forth the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by
the Reporting Person as of September 3, 2009, and the percentage of the outstanding Common Shares
that such number represents. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC
and generally includes any shares over which a person possesses sole or shared voting or investment
power as well as any shares that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the
applicable date, including through the exercise of options or other rights. Common Shares not
currently outstanding which are subject to options, warrants or other rights that are exercisable
or convertible within 60 days after the applicable date are deemed outstanding for the purpose of
calculating the percentage ownership of the person holding those options, warrants or other rights
but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any
other person. Accordingly, the applicable percentage ownership for the Reporting Person is based
upon the 12,743,019 Common Shares outstanding as of June 30, 2009, as reported by the Issuer in its
Form 6-K filed with the SEC on August 25, 2009. Such calculation does not reflect Exchangeable
Shares of the Issuer, shares subject to options (if any) held by the Reporting Person that are not
exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Schedule 13D, or shares subject to options or rights
held by any other person. Except as disclosed herein, the Reporting Person has sole investment and
voting power with respect to the shares described below.
