This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment") amends the statement on Schedule 13D
filed by the Reporting Person (as defined below) with the Commission on November
29, 1995 with respect to shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of COMFORCE Corporation. This Amendment supplements and amends
the information set forth in the original statement by restating the Items or
subsections thereof set forth herein. All capitalized terms shall have the
meanings set forth in the original statement on Form 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As of the close of business on September 4, 1998, the Reporting Person
beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,947,572 shares of Common Stock, which
constituted approximately 12.1% of the 15,790,747 shares of Common Stock
outstanding at July 31, 1998 as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The shares beneficially owned
include shares issued pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Letter
Agreement, as described in Item 6 of the original statement on Schedule 13D of
the Reporting Person. No other shares of the Issuer's Common Stock have been
acquired since the date of the original report.
(b) The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and
to dispose or to direct the disposition of all of the shares beneficially owned
by him.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.
On September 4, 1998, the Reporting Person entered into a Stock Purchase
and Sale Agreement under which they agreed to sell 1,666,322 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock for a price of $6.62 per share. These shares represent all
of the shares deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person other than
options to purchase 281,250 shares held by him. Upon completion of the
transaction, which is scheduled to close on or about September 30, 1998, the
Reporting Person will beneficially own less than 5% of the Issuer's Common
Stock.
Upon completion of this transaction, the Reporting Person will relinquish
his position as the Chairman and a director of the Issuer. In addition, upon
completion of this transaction, his employment agreement with the Issuer, which
currently provides for a term ending on November 30, 2000, will be amended to
provide that, from and after December 31, 1998, the Reporting Person's
employment shall continue on an at will basis.
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.
