Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") to the Schedule 13D originally
filed by Nobel Explosifs France ("NEF") and La Societe Nationale des Poudres et
Explosifs ("SNPE," and now known exclusively as "SNPE") relates to the Common
Stock, $.05 par value (the "DMC Common Stock"), of Dynamic Materials
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The address of the principal
executive offices of the Issuer is 551 Aspen Ridge Drive, Lafayette, Colorado
80026. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to reflect certain changes to Item 5.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
On December 22, 1999, NEF sold all of the Issuer's common stock that it
owned, 406,400 shares, to SNPE, Inc., a United States based subsidiary of SNPE,
for internal accounting purposes. As of that date, NEF ceased to be a five
percent beneficial owner of the Issuer, and SNPE ceased to be a five percent
beneficial owner of the Issuer through the holdings of NEF. Through the holdings
of SNPE, Inc., SNPE will be a five percent beneficial owner of the issuer, which
is being reported in a simultaneously filed Schedule 13D which includes SNPE.
Signature
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete, and
correct.
