This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and
supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D initially filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 28, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14,
1998 (together, the "Schedule 13D"), by Thomas O. Hicks, with respect to the
Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Berg Electronics Corp. (the
"Company"). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein shall have
the respective meanings given such terms in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
As previously reported in the Schedule 13D filed on September 14, 1998, the
Company, FCI and Acquisition entered into the Merger Agreement on August 27,
1998. On October 14, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), the Offer contemplated by the
Merger Agreement was consummated. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, each share
of Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to October 9,
1998 was purchased by Acquisition on the Closing Date for $35.00 in cash.
The description of the Merger Agreement contained herein is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which has
previously been filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D, and is hereby
incorporated by reference herein.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER
As a result of the consummation of the Offer, Mr. Hicks ceased to be the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Common Stock and,
accordingly, ceased to be a reporting person.
