Item 1. 
Security and the Issuer.
 
This statement constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D (the "Statement") relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Merrimac Industries, Inc. (the "Issuer") and amends the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock filed on January 6, 2005, as amended on December 29, 2009 (the “Original 13D”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original 13D. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 41 Fairfield Place, West Caldwell, NJ 07006.
 
Item 5. 
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
 
(a)  As of the time of this filing, each of the Reporting Persons does not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.
 
(b)  As of the time of this filing, each of the Reporting Persons has no power to vote or direct the vote of any shares of Common Stock.
 
(c)  On February 3, 2010, pursuant to the previously announced tender offer by Crane Co. (“Crane”) and Crane Merger Co. (“Purchaser”) for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price of $16 per share net to the seller in cash, Purchaser accepted for payment (i) 6,500 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Kuttner, (ii) 250,000 shares of Common Stock owned directly by K Holdings and (iii) 50,000 shares of Common Stock owned directly by HIL. Following the closing of such tender offer, Purchaser merged with and into the Issuer.  In connection therewith, Mr. Kuttner’s remaining 3,000 shares of Common Stock were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $16 per share in cash and Mr. Kuttner’s 7,500 stock options were cancelled for a cash payment per underlying share equal to the difference between the exercise price and $16.00.
 
(d)  The members of K Holdings, Mr. Kuttner and his wife Beatrice Ost-Kuttner, are entitled to receive, or have the power to direct, the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds of sales of the shares of Common Stock formerly held by K Holdings in accordance with their ownership interests.
 
The shareholders of HIL, including Mr. Kuttner, are entitled to receive, or have the power to direct, the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds of sales of the shares of Common Stock formerly held by HIL in accordance with their ownership interests.
