EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2012 (the “Statement”) by the persons named therein is hereby amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”). This Amendment relates is the common stock, $0.0005 par value per share (“Shares”), of ProPhase Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Statement. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Statement remains unchanged.

 

Item 4 Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following immediately following the last paragraph thereof:

On September 17, 2012, the Issuer rejected Purchaser’s proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer at a purchase price of $1.40 per share, in cash. On October 9, 2012, Purchaser sent a letter to the Issuer (the “October 9 letter”) increasing its offer to $1.60 per share in cash, which represents a 14.3% increase from Purchaser’s prior offer, a premium of 51.7% over the 30-day average closing price of the Issuer’s stock and a 53.7% premium to the Issuer’s average closing price over the 12 months preceding September 6, 2012, the day Purchaser and Seller entered into the Option Agreement. The October 9 Letter is set forth as Exhibit 99.6 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Purchaser believes this revised all-cash offer, which is not contingent on financing, is highly attractive to the Issuer’s shareholders, as it provides them with compelling, upfront and certain value relative to a difficult, uncertain and highly speculative multi-year turnaround program the Issuer has recently outlined. Purchaser believes that the Issuer faces significant challenges by remaining a standalone entity. These challenges include, among others:

 

  •  

Lack of scale to effectively compete in a highly competitive market;

 

  •  

Unsustainable financial model; and

 

  •  

Continued and substantial losses.

Purchaser hopes that the Issuer will act in the best interests of its shareholders by engaging in discussions with Purchaser, or by at least removing all obstacles so that the Issuer’s shareholders can make their own determinations regarding the adequacy of Purchaser’s offer. To that end, in addition to the October 9 Letter, Purchaser issued two press releases (the “October 9 Press Releases”) and a presentation (the “October 9 Presentation”) detailing the Issuer’s tenuous standalone prospects relative to the Issuer’s compelling and certain offer. Copies of the October 9 Press Releases and October 9 Presentation are set forth as Exhibits 99.7, 99.8 and 99.9, respectively, hereto, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5 Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following Exhibits:

 

Exhibit 99.6    Letter, dated, October 9, 2012, from Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. to ProPhase Labs, Inc.
Exhibit 99.7    Presentation, dated October 9, 2012.
Exhibit 99.8    Letter Press Release, dated October 9, 2012.
Exhibit 99.9    Presentation Press Release, dated October 9, 2012.
Exhibit 99.10    Schedule 13D Joint Filing Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2012, by and among each of the Reporting Persons.
