Introduction

          This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) filed by Linda B. Stern (“Linda Stern” or “Mrs. Stern”) and the Estate of Howard Stern (the “H. Stern Estate” and, with Linda Stern, the “Reporting Persons”) filed on January 23, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on May 31, 2006 (“Amendment No. 1”) and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on December 22, 2006 (“Amendment No. 2,” and collectively, with the Initial Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the “Statement”) relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “AngioDynamics Common Stock”), of AngioDynamics, Inc. (“AngioDynamics”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Statement and, unless amended hereby, all information previously filed remains in effect.

 

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

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

          In January 2007, AngioDynamics issued approximately 7.8 million shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock in connection with a merger transaction.

          From March, 2007 through June, 2007, Linda Stern, the H. Stern Estate and a QTIP trust established under the H. Stern Will (the “QTIP Trust”), sold an aggregate of 250,000 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock. All of such sales were made in open market transactions on The NASDAQ Stock Market and were in accordance with Mrs. Stern’s previously disclosed intention to make sales to provide for living expenses and to diversify her investment portfolio. Mrs. Stern is a co-trustee and sole lifetime beneficiary of the QTIP Trust.

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Items 5 (a) and (b) of the Statement are hereby deleted and replaced in their entirety by the following:

 

 

 

 

(a)

The H. Stern Estate has direct beneficial ownership of 1,323,794 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock, which constitutes 5.5% of the outstanding shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

 

Linda Stern has direct beneficial ownership of 891 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock that were held by her and Howard Stern as joint tenants with right of survivorship as of the date of his death. In addition, as executor of the H. Stern Estate, Mrs. Stern is deemed to share beneficial ownership of all of the shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock beneficially owned by the H. Stern Estate, for total beneficial ownership of 1,324,685 shares. Such shares represent 5.5% of the outstanding shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

 

The percentage beneficial ownership of Linda Stern and the H. Stern Estate set forth in this Item 5 is based on 23,930,686 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock outstanding as of April 4, 2007, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 3, 2007, filed by AngioDynamics on April 12, 2007.
