CUSIP No. 29264A 20 6   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 4 of 7 Pages

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D/A is being filed to amend and replace in its entirety the information under Items 1, 4, 6 and 7. None of the other information in the Reporting Persons’ original Statement of Beneficial Ownership Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on February 14, 2003 is being amended.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Statement”) relates to shares of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of Endwave Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Endwave”). The principal executive offices of Endwave are located at 776 Palomar Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94085.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp, an Ohio corporation (“NGS&MS”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northrop Grumman Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Northrop Grumman” and together with NGS&MS, the “Reporting Persons”). NGS&MS is the record owner of the Common Stock of Endwave Corp. (“Endwave”) covered by this Statement (the “Shares”) and thus, has the direct power to vote and direct the disposition of the Shares. As the sole parent of NGS&MS, Northrop Grumman has the indirect power to vote and dispose of the Shares.

 

On March 23, 2005, NGS&MS entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Endwave (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Endwave agreed to use its best efforts to publicly offer for resale 3,000,000 of the Shares in a firmly underwritten offering of Endwave’s Common Stock. On March 25, 2005, Endwave filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, providing for the offer and sale of 5,000,000 shares of Endwave’s Common Stock, plus an additional 750,000 shares to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Offering”), of which 3,000,000 of the offered shares are to be sold for the account of the NGS&MS and the remainder are to be sold for the account of Endwave. Accordingly, on the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Reporting Persons intend to dispose of 3,000,000 Shares by selling them to the underwriters of the Offering, who will distribute the Shares in the manner described in the final prospectus to be filed as part of the Registration Statement.

 

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This Statement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

 

The securities will be offered only by a prospectus. To obtain a copy of the prospectus, contact the prospectus department of Needham and Company, Inc., 445 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022.


CUSIP No. 29264A 20 6   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 5 of 7 Pages

 

In connection with the Registration Rights Agreement, NGS&MS has entered into a letter agreement dated March 24, 2005 (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with the representatives of the underwriters of the Offering (the “Representatives”), restricting the Reporting Persons’ sale of Shares until a date 90 days after the filing of the final prospectus for the Offering. The Lock-Up Agreement will terminate if the Offering is not completed by July 31, 2005 or if the Offering is abandoned. The Lock-Up Agreement is discussed in greater detail under Item 6 below, and a copy is furnished as Exhibit 5 to this Statement.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

NGS&MS entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with Endwave on March 23, 2005. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Endwave has agreed to use its best efforts to publicly offer 3,000,000 of the Shares in a firmly underwritten offering of Endwave’s Common Stock, along with 2,000,000 shares of common stock to be sold for Endwave’s account, and to use its best efforts to complete the Offering on or before June 30, 2005. Endwave also agreed that NGS&MS’s rights to require Endwave to register the resale of Shares pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, dated March 31, 2000, will continue until the earlier of October 14, 2008 and the date on which the Shares comprise less than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Endwave. (These rights are described below under the heading “Investor Rights Agreement.”) The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is only a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Statement.

 

Lock-Up Agreement

 

NGS&MS entered into the Lock-Up Agreement with the Representatives on March 24, 2005. In the Lock-Up Agreement, NGS&MS has agreed, subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations, that except for the Shares to be sold in the Offering, the Reporting Persons will not dispose of Shares from the date the Registration Statement is filed until the date 90 days after the final prospectus for the Offering has been filed. Under certain conditions governed by Rule 2711(f)(4) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, the lock-up period may be extended for up to 35 days. The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement is only a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 5 to this Statement.

 

Investor Rights Agreement

 

NGS&MS, along with certain other persons, is party to an Investor Rights Agreement, dated March 31, 2000 with Endwave. Under the terms of that agreement, the holders of at least 20% of the shares covered by the agreement may request, on no more than three occasions, that Endwave use its best efforts to register their shares, provided the offering includes at least 30% of the registrable securities then outstanding. In addition, if Endwave proposes to register any of its securities under the Act, either for its own account or for the account of other security holders exercising registration rights, the holders are entitled to notice of such registration and are


CUSIP No. 29264A 20 6   SCHEDULE 13D   Page 6 of 7 Pages

 

entitled to include shares of such common stock therein. The holders of these shares may also require Endwave to register all or a portion of such shares on Form S-3. These registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares to be included in such registration. The Investor Rights Agreement terminates on the fifth anniversary of Endwave’s initial public offering.

 

Other than as described in this Item 6 or in Items 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the agreements incorporated herein by reference and set forth as exhibits hereto, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons and between the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to any securities of Endwave, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over the Shares.
