AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D
John E. Calaway ("Mr. Calaway"), Nell G. Calaway ("Ms. Calaway"),
Calaway Oil and Gas Corporation, a Texas corporation ("COGC"), and Calaway
Partners, a Texas general partnership ("CP" and collectively with Mr. Calaway,
Ms. Calaway and COGC, the "Calaway Parties"), hereby amends and supplements
their statement on Schedule 13D as originally filed by the Calaway Parties on
March 13, 1997 (the "Original Statement"), with respect to the Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Edge Petroleum Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Unless otherwise indicated, each
capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to
such term in the Original Statement.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:
The Original Statement had provided in part that " ..., it is possible that
the Calaway Parties could seek to acquire additional shares, although they have
no current plans to do so, other than through employee benefit plans or
arrangements with the Company." Particularly in light of recent trading prices
of the Common Stock, Mr. John E. Calaway now intends to seek to acquire
additional shares of Common Stock. The number of shares sought to be acquired
is not currently expected to materially change Mr. Calaway's overall
shareholdings; however the actual number of shares acquired, if any, will be
subject to, among other things, market conditions as they exist from time to
time as well as other factors described in the Original Statement. Mr. Calaway
may also seek to take any other action described in the Original Statement.
