Friedberg (collectively with FCMI, the “Filing Persons”), relating to the common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Shares”), of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is hereby amended with respect to the items set forth below in this Amendment No. 2. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the same meanings as those ascribed to them in the Statement.

 

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is amended by the addition of the following information:

As reported in the Statement as originally filed, FCMI acquired beneficial ownership of its Common Shares and Warrants to purchase Common Shares utilizing funds from its working capital The Filing Persons did not pay any additional consideration in connection with the increase in their beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Shares reported in Item 5 of this Amendment No. 2.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is amended and restated to read in its entirely as set forth below:

On the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 2), FCMI is the record and beneficial owner of 24,000,000 Common Shares, constituting approximately 25.4% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Shares. Such percentage beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) as if 94,659,349 Common Shares were outstanding, computed by adding the 12,000,000 Common Shares that are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants owned by FCMI to 82,659,349 Common Shares outstanding, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. Of such 24,000,000 Common Shares beneficially owned by FCMI, 12,000,000 Common Shares are presently outstanding and owned by FCMI and 12,000,000 Common Shares are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants are not exercisable on the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 2) but become exercisable on September 20, 2009. Pursuant to Rule 13-3(d)(l)(i), the underlying shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by FCMI effective as of July 21, 2009 – sixty days before the date on which the Warrants become exercisable. Mr. Friedberg, directly and through his control over FCMI shares held by members of his family and trusts for the benefit of members of his family, may be considered the ultimate beneficial owner of all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by FCMI. Except for such beneficial ownership by Albert D. Friedberg, none of the directors or officers of FCMI beneficially owns any Common Shares. Except insofar as Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the 1934 Act may deem FCMI to have “acquired” beneficial ownership of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as of July 21, 2009, neither FCMI nor any of its officers or directors has effected any transactions in the Issuer’s securities during the 60 days preceding the filing of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 2).
