This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of Common
Stock, $0.10 par value per share (the "Shares"), of VTX Electronics Corp. (the
"Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement on
Schedule 13D dated April 15, 1996, (the "Initial Statement") filed by one of the
Reporting Persons (as defined herein). This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by
the Reporting Persons to report the transfer of the investment advisory contract
between Soros Fund Management ("SFM") and Quota Fund N.V., a Netherlands
Antilles corporation ("Quota"), pursuant to which SFM was granted investment
discretion over portfolio investments, including the Shares held for the account
of Quota. The investment advisory contract has been transferred from SFM to
Soros Fund Management LLC ("SFM LLC"), a newly formed Delaware limited liability
company. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is
supplementally amended as follows.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This statement is being filed on behalf of SFM LLC, Mr. George
Soros ("Mr. Soros") and Mr. Stanley F. Druckenmiller ("Mr. Druckenmiller," and
together with SFM LLC and Mr. Soros, the "Reporting Persons"). This statement
relates to Shares held for the account of Quota.
Effective as of January 1, 1997, SFM, a sole proprietorship of
which Mr. Soros is the sole proprietor, transferred its investment advisory
contract with Quota to SFM LLC as part of a restructuring of the business of
SFM, which will now be conducted through SFM LLC. SFM LLC has its principal
office at 888 Seventh Avenue, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10106. Its
principal business is to serve, pursuant to contract, as the principal
investment manager to several foreign investment companies (the "SFM Clients"),
including Quota. Quota has its principal office at Kaya Flamboyan 9, Willemstad,
Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. SFM LLC's contracts with SFM Clients generally
provide that SFM LLC is responsible for designing and implementing the SFM
Clients' overall investment strategies; for conducting direct portfolio
management strategies to the extent that SFM LLC determines that it is
appropriate to utilize its own portfolio management capabilities; for selecting,
evaluating and monitoring other investment advisors who manage separate
portfolios on behalf of SFM Clients; and for allocating and reallocating the SFM
Clients' assets among the outside managers and itself.
The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee
(the "Management Committee") comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr.
Gary Gladstein. Mr. Soros, as Chairman of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct the
investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the SFM Clients. Mr.
Druckenmiller, as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, has the ability to direct
the investment decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed to have investment
discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the SFM Clients. Set
forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference in response to this Item 2
and elsewhere in this Schedule 13D as applicable is a list of the Managing
Directors of SFM LLC.
The principal occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States citizen,
is his direction of the activities of SFM LLC, which is carried out in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office.
<PAGE>
Page 6 of 14 Pages
The principal occupation of Mr. Druckenmiller, a United States
citizen, is his position as Lead Portfolio Manager and a Member of the
Management Committee of SFM LLC, which is carried out at SFM LLC's principal
office.
Pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 13(d) of the
Act, SFM LLC, Mr. Soros, in his capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC, and Mr.
Druckenmiller, in his capacity as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, each may be
deemed a beneficial owner of securities, including the Shares, held for the
account of Quota as a result of the contractual authority of SFM LLC to exercise
voting and dispositive power with respect to such securities.
During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons, Quota
and, to the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, any other person
identified in response to this Item 2 has been (a) convicted in a criminal
proceeding, or (b) a party to any civil proceeding as a result of which he has
been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The securities held for the accounts of Quota and/or other SFM
Clients may be held through margin accounts maintained with brokers, which
extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in its
margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock
exchange rules and such firm's credit policies. The positions which may be held
in the margin accounts, including the Shares, are pledged as collateral security
for the repayment of debit balances in the respective accounts.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
All of the securities reported herein as having been acquired for
or disposed of from the account of Quota were acquired or disposed of for
investment purposes. Neither Quota, the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of
their knowledge, any of the other individuals identified in response to Item 2,
has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the
transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire, or cause to be
acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be
disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate other purposes, plans or
proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed
advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting
Persons and/or other SFM Clients, market conditions or other factors.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As a result of the assignment of the investment advisory
contract between SFM and Quota to SFM LLC, SFM LLC may be deemed to have the
ability to terminate the Services Contract with respect to all investments made
for the account of Quota at the direction of Services, including but not limited
to those involving the Shares, and acquire the voting and dispositive power held
by Services with respect to the Shares (assuming the exercise and conversion of
all convertible securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota).
Accordingly, notwithstanding that none of the Reporting Persons currently
exercises voting or dispositive power over such Shares, the Reporting Persons
may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,000,000 Shares (approximately
7.32% of the total number of Shares which would be outstanding assuming the
exercise or conversion of all currently convertible securities of the Issuer
held by Quota). This number consists of (i) 1,250 shares of Preferred Stock
which are convertible into 500,000 Shares and (ii) B-1 Warrants to purchase
500,000 Shares.
<PAGE>
Page 7 of 14 Pages
Shares issuable upon exercise of the B-2 Warrants and the March
Warrants are not reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting
Persons because such Warrants are not exercisable until December 1, 1998. The
Debentures and March Debentures are also not reported herein as being
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons because neither is convertible into
Shares.
(b) The power to direct the disposition and voting of the Shares
(assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible securities of the
Issuer held for the account of Quota) is currently vested in Services pursuant
to the Services Contract. SFM LLC has the contractual authority on behalf of
Quota to terminate the Services Contract within 60 days and, as a result, the
Reporting Persons may be deemed to have the ability to acquire the voting and
dispositive power held by Services with respect to the 1,000,000 Shares held for
the account of Quota (assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible
securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota).
(c) Except as disclosed in Item 2 hereof, which is incorporated
by reference in this Item 5, there have been no transactions effected with
respect to the Shares since November 11, 1996 (60 days prior to the date hereof)
by Quota or by any of the Reporting Persons.
(d) The shareholders of Quota have the right to participate in
the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, securities,
including the Shares (assuming the exercise and conversion of all convertible
securities of the Issuer held for the account of Quota), held for the account of
Quota in accordance with their ownership interests in Quota.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings in Relationship with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
From time to time, each of the Reporting Persons, Quota, and/or
other SFM Clients may lend portfolio securities to brokers, banks or other
financial institutions. These loans typically obligate the borrower to return
the securities, or an equal amount of securities of the same class, to the
lender and typically provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise voting
rights and to retain dividends during the term of the loan. From time to time to
the extent permitted by applicable laws, each of the Reporting Persons, Quota,
and/or other SFM Clients may borrow securities, including the Shares, for the
purpose of effecting, and may effect, short sale transactions, and may purchase
securities for the purpose of closing out short positions in such securities.
Except as disclosed above, the Reporting Persons and SFM Clients
do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with
respect to any securities of the Issuer.
