Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D
Lithium Link LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lithium Link") and
Interlink Management Corporation ("Interlink"), each hereby amends and
supplements its statement on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par
value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Lithium Technology Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer), originally filed with the Commission on
October 2, 1997, and amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the
Commission on November 12, 1997 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the Commission on
February 18, 1998 and Amendment No. 3 filed with the Commission on July 2, 1998.
The Schedule 13D of Lithium Link is hereinafter referred to as the "Statement".
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby supplemented as follows:
The aggregate amount of funds of Lithium Link used to purchase the securities
reported herein in Item 5 to this Amendment No. 4 to the Statement were $550,000
in addition to the $3,320,000 reported previously in the Statement (exclusive of
expenses). The source of funds used to purchase such securities of the Issuer on
behalf of Lithium Link was $550,000 of cash assets provided by capital
contributions of the members of Lithium Link.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The response to Item 3 is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to Rule 13d-
3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Lithium Link purchased a
further $550,000 principal amount of the Notes on May 1, 1998, which is
convertible at the option of Lithium Link at any time after the Initial Closing
Date and prior to July 1, 2002 into 1,964,286 shares/1/ of Common Stock (subject
to adjustment under certain circumstances). Accordingly, each of Interlink and
Lithium Link was deemed to beneficially own such number of shares of Common
Stock upon the purchase of such Note, which together with the securities of the
Issuer previously purchased constituted approximately 39.7% of the 21,016,361
shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding by the Issuer in its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998 as determined
under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the event that
the entire principal amount of $5.5 million of Notes contemplated by the Note
Purchase Agreement are purchased by Lithium Link, as described in Item 4, each
of Interlink and Lithium Link would be deemed to beneficially own 19,642,857
shares of Common Stock, which would constitute approximately 48.3% of the
21,016,361 shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding by the Issuer in
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998
as determined under Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Issuer
- -------------------------
/1/ Exclusive of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any accrued
interest on the Notes as described in Item 6 below.
<PAGE>
has the right to prepay the Notes in whole or in part upon notice to Lithium
Link once the entire principal amount of $5.5 million of Notes has been
purchased by Lithium Link.
The beneficial ownership by each of Interlink and Lithium Link of Common Stock
of the Issuer as of the date hereof is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
No. of Shares Deemed to Percentage of Issued and
Reporting Entity be Beneficially Owned Outstanding Shares
- ---------------- --------------------- ------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Interlink Management 13,821,429/2/ 39.7%
Corporation
Lithium Link LLC 13,821,429 39.7%
</TABLE>
Except as set forth above and as set forth in the Statement and this Amendment
No. 4, none of the Reporting Entities has effected any transactions in the
Common Stock during the past 60 days.
The number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage of outstanding shares
represented thereby, for each of the Reporting Persons and other entities, have
been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. The percentages of ownership described above are based on the
21,016,361 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer reported in the
Issuer's Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1998 and filed on
May 15, 1998.
- ----------------------------
/2/ The record ownership and economic interest in such shares is held by
Lithium Link. Interlink is the managing member of Lithium Link and, therefore,
may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of, and shared voting and
dispositive power with respect to, such shares. Does not include shares of
Common Stock that may be acquired by the controlling persons of Interlink
pursuant to the exercise of warrants described in Item 5 of the Statement.
