Dresdner Kleinwort Benson Private Equity Partners LP (hereinafter referred to as
"DKBPEP") hereby amends its statement on Schedule 13D, filed as of November 23,
1998, relating to (i) the 7% Convertible Senior Secured Note (together with
notes received as pay-in-kind interest, the "Notes") due March 31, 2003 issued
by CardioTech International, Inc. ("CardioTech" or the "Issuer") and (ii) the
Series A Preferred Stock issued by CardioTech (including the additional
conversion rights thereunder as a result of accrued but unpaid dividends), (the
"Preferred Shares"), as set forth below.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
Schedule A is hereby amended in its entirety by replacing it with the attached
Schedule A.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
This section is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph at the end
thereto:
"Since March 31, 1998 (the date with respect to which DKBPEP filed its
initial 13D regarding its investment in CardioTech) DKBPEP has filed a Form 5
and Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to
securities acquired through 1) "Pay-in-kind" interest on the outstanding Notes,
2) dividends on the Preferred Shares and 3) an anti-dilution adjustment to the
conversion prices of the Notes and Preferred Shares held by DKBPEP. In addition
to the aforementioned, DKBPEP has acquired $340,000 of 7% Convertible Senior
Secured Notes (the "New Notes") on September 24, 1999 in substantially the same
form as the Notes. The New Notes are initially convertible into 370,068 shares
of Common Stock of CardioTech. DKBPEP has the option to exchange the New Notes
for a new issue of convertible securities of CardioTech (together with
additional notes received as pay-in-kind interest), at an exchange ratio equal
to a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the
New Notes (together with additional notes received as pay-in-kind interest) to
be exchanged, and the denominator of which is the price per convertible
security."
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 5 is hereby amended by replacing subsection (a) with the following:
(a) DKBPEP currently owns no Common Stock of the Issuer. Upon
conversion of the Note, the Additional Notes and the Preferred Shares issued as
of September 24, 1999, subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory
approvals, DKBPEP would acquire 21.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock (determined after giving effect to the conversion).
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED IN EXHIBITS
Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph to the end thereto:
(6) Letter Agreement dated as of September 24, 1999 between
the Issuer and DKBPEP.
