This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 14D-1 and Schedule 13D/A
(Amendment No. 4) (the "Schedule 14D-1 and 13D") relates to the offer by
Innovative Communication Corporation, a U.S. Virgin Islands corporation (the
"Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Innovative Communication Company,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Parent"), to purchase all the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of
Emerging Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), not
currently directly or indirectly owned by Parent, net to the seller in cash,
without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase dated August 24, 1998 and First Supplement to the Offer
to Purchase dated September 10, 1998 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the
related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal", together with the
Offer to Purchase, the "Offer"), each of which have been previously filed as
exhibits this Schedule 14D-1 and 13D as Exhibits (a)(1), (a)(1)(A) and (a)(2),
respectively. This Schedule 14D-1 and Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of
the Purchaser, the Parent and Jeffrey J. Prosser. The item numbers and responses
thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule 14D-1 and
Schedule 13D respectively of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings given such terms in the Offer to
Purchase.
ITEM 10. Additional Information.
----------------------
On September 21, 1998, Hurricane Georges struck the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
As of midnight on September 21, 1998, the Purchaser was unable to
ascertain the full extent of the damage Hurricane Georges had caused to the
Company's business, properties and assets.
The conditions to the Offer include a condition that the Purchaser
shall not be obligated to consummate the Offer if, on or after August 24, 1998,
any change, including without limitation any change arising out of or related to
any natural disaster (including hurricanes and earthquakes), shall have occurred
or been threatened or become known (or any condition, event or development shall
have occurred or been threatened or become known involving a prospective change)
in the business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or
otherwise), or results of operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
that could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Company and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole (the "Material Adverse Change Condition"). As
a result of Hurricane Georges, the Material Adverse Change Condition has not
been definitively satisfied as of midnight, September 21, 1998. On September 22,
1998, the Purchaser issued a press release stating that it is extending the
expiration of the Offer until 5:00 p.m. Friday, September 25, 1998 in order for
the Purchaser to determine if the Material Adverse Change Condition has been
satisfied or, in the Purchaser's sole discretion, will be waived.
As of midnight, September 21, 1998, 2,882,519 Shares had been
tendered in the Offer, satisfying the Minimum Tender Condition.
The Purchaser will promptly issue a press release upon a final
determination that the Material Adverse Change Condition has been satisfied (or,
in the sole discretion of the Purchaser, waived) or if the Offer will not be
consummated by the Purchaser because the Material Adverse Change Condition has
not been satisfied.
