(a) This Amendment No. 20 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented by Amendments Nos. 1 through 19, inclusive (the "Schedule 13D"), of Moses Marx, an individual, and Momar Corporation, a New York corporation ("Momar"), with respect to the Common Stock, $.10 par value ("Common Stock") of Berkshire Bancorp Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), formerly known as Cooper Life Sciences, Inc. Except as amended hereby, there has been no change in the information contained in the Schedule 13D. Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f)(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), this Schedule 13D is being filed by Mr. Marx, Momar, Marneu Holding Company, a New York general partnership (“Marneu”), Terumah Foundation, Inc., a New York not-for-profit corporation (the "Foundation"), United Equities Commodities Company, a New York general partnership (“UECC”), and K.F. Investors LLC, a New York limited liability company (“KF Investors”). The individual and entities hereinabove set forth (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") are making this single, joint filing because they have agreed to act as a "group" within the meaning of Section 13d(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
|
|
(a) - (b)
|
|
According to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2011, there were 7,054,183 shares of Common Stock outstanding on May 6, 2011.
|
|
As of the date of this Amendment No. 20, Moses Marx beneficially owned 4,004,272 shares of Common Stock, representing 56.76% (calculated in accordance with the instructions to Schedule 13D) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Said securities consist of (i) 3,170,004 shares owned directly by Mr. Marx; (ii) 334,979 shares owned of record by Momar; (iii) 157,261 shares owed of record by Marneu, (iv) 141,063 shares owned of record by the Foundation, (v) 10,681 shares owned of record by UECC and (vi) 190,284 shares owned of record by KF Investors. With respect to the shares described in clauses (ii) – (v), Mr. Marx may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares by virtue of his being in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions of Momar, Marneu, the Foundation and UECC, respectively, with respect to such shares (in the case of Momar by being the President of Momar; in the case of Marneu by holding a controlling interest; in the case of the Foundation, by voting together with his wife, Marga Marx, who together constitute a majority of the votes on the Foundation’s Board of Directors; and in the case of UECC, by holding a controlling interest). With respect to the shares described in clause (vi), Mr. Marx may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares by virtue of the Reporting Persons having entered into an agreement to act together as a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of shares of Common Stock of the Company. In addition, the following persons named in Item 2 own the following number of shares of Common Stock: Dr. Joseph Fink owns 8,138 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Philippe Katz owns 26,000 shares of Common Stock.
