ITEM 1. |
SECURITY AND ISSUER |
The following constitutes Amendment No. 10 ("Amendment No. 10") to the Schedule 13D (the original Schedule 13D, as amended prior to the date hereof, is referred to herein as the "Schedule 13D") filed by the undersigned with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 16, 2008. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Amendment No. 10 is being filed to report changes in the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons as a result of the gift of shares of Common Stock of Merge Healthcare Incorporated ("Merge" or the "Company") by Merrick Venture Management Holdings, LLC ("MVMH") to a charitable foundation.
ITEM 3 . |
SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
On June 18, 2013, MVMH gifted 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to a charitable foundation. As of the opening of trading on the filing date of this Amendment No. 10, Michael W. Ferro, Jr. ("Ferro") beneficially owned 26,631,298 shares of Common Stock (including options covering 600,000 shares of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within sixty (60) days of June 20, 2013).
ITEM 5. |
INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. |
Item 5 (a), (b), and (c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a), (b) As of the opening of trading on the filing date of this Amendment No. 10, Ferro is deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock directly owned by the following entities which he controls:

In addition, Ferro holds options covering 600,000 shares of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within sixty (60) days of June 20, 2013. Ferro does not directly own any shares of Common Stock. Ferro disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by him, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest in such shares. The ownership percentages are calculated based on 93,466,114 shares of Common Stock as reported by the Company to be outstanding as of April 20, 2013 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 1, 2013.
(c) Except for the transactions described above and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D, during the last sixty (60) days, there were no transactions in shares of the Common Stock of the Company effected by the Reporting Persons.
