Thermo Electron Corporation hereby amends its statement on Schedule 13D
relating to the units (the "Units") issued by ThermoLase Corporation (the
"Issuer"), each Unit consisting of one share of the Issuer's common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and one redemption right, as set
forth below.
Item 2. Identity and Background
The first paragraph of Item 2 is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:
This Amendment is being filed by Thermo Electron Corporation (the
"Reporting Person"), pursuant to Rule 13d-2, to reflect an increase in the
Reporting Person's holdings of the Units, since the date of the Reporting
Person's last filing on Schedule 13D, in May 1999, of more than one percent.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The following are hereby added as the first two sentences of Item 3:
The Reporting Person has expended approximately $4,950,000 in purchasing
Units since the date of its last filing on Schedule 13D. These funds were paid
out of the Reporting Person's working capital.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Items 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as
follows:
(a) The Reporting Person beneficially owns 1,620,127 Units, or
approximately 81% of the outstanding Units. To the knowledge of the Reporting
Person, Mr. Robert A. McCabe, a director of the Reporting Person, is the sole
executive officer or director of the Reporting Person who beneficially owns
Units. Mr. McCabe owns 831 Units, or approximately 0.04% of the outstanding
Units. Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by the executive officers and
directors of the Reporting Person is reported separately in Schedule 13D filings
by the Reporting Person relating to its ownership of the Common Stock.
While certain directors and executive officers of the Reporting Person are
also directors and officers of the Issuer, all such persons disclaim beneficial
ownership of the Units owned by the Reporting Person.
(c) On June 7, 1999, the Reporting Person purchased an aggregate of
267,334 Units on the open market at a price of $18.50 per Unit. To the knowledge
