AMENDMENT NO. 15 TO SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 15, dated July 8, 2002, to Schedule 13D (this
"STATEMENT") is filed on behalf of Harry I. Freund and amends Schedule 13D filed
on behalf of Mr. Freund, as previously amended by Amendment No. 14 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 3, 2002 (the "SCHEDULE 13D"),
relating to the common stock, $.10 par value (the "COMMON STOCK") of PubliCARD,
Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "COMPANY").
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety, as follows:
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
As of the close of business on the date of this Statement, Mr. Freund
may be deemed, pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), and the rules and regulations thereunder,
to own beneficially 998,932 shares of Common Stock, including 250,000 shares of
Common Stock which may be acquired by Mr. Freund within 60 days through the
exercise of stock options. Such shares constitute 4.09% of the 24,190,902 shares
of Common Stock outstanding as of such date, calculated in accordance with Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The shares beneficially owned also include 5,454
shares of Common Stock held by Mr. Freund's spouse as to which Mr. Freund may be
deemed to have shared voting and investment power but disclaims beneficial
ownership. In addition, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned also
include 13,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Balfour Defined Benefits
Pension Plan (the "PLAN"), for which Mr. Freund is a Trustee and Plan
Administrator and in which Mr. Freund is a participant. Mr. Freund has shared
voting and investment power over the 13,000 shares of Common Stock, but
disclaims beneficial ownership of 5,850 shares of Common Stock held by the Plan
(based on Mr. Freund's proportionate interest in the Plan of approximately 55%
as of December 31, 1998).
On July 1, 2002, options to purchase 91,912 shares of Common Stock at a
price of $1.3125 per share previously held by Mr. Freund expired in accordance
with their terms. On July 2, 2002, 645,000 warrants exercisable into 688,861
shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.30 per share previously held by Mr.
Freund expired in accordance with their terms. Accordingly, on July 2, 2002,
Mr. Freund ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's
Common Stock.
Except as to the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by his wife
and the Plan, Mr. Freund has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of
the Company's Common Stock owned beneficially by him.
