March 29, 2007

(Date of Event which Requires Filing of this Statement)

If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of §§240.13d-1(e), 240.13d-1(f) or 240.13d-1(g), check the following box. o

Note: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See §240.13d-7 for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

* The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person's initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

 




 

This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on January 25, 2006, as amended by Amendment No.1 thereto (the “Schedule 13D”), by Nordic Telephone Company ApS (“NTC”) and the other joint filing persons as described therein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this document have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that any such person is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Hungarian Telephone and Cable Corp. (the “Issuer”) referred to herein for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

 

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following: 

TDC A/S (formerly Tele Danmark, A/S) (“TDC”) has advised NTC and the other joint filing persons hereof as follows:

On March 28, 2007, TDC fully exercised warrants No.1 through No. 25, each dated as of June 15, 2005, as filed as Exhibit 10.3 to Form 10-Q of the Issuer for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as filed on December 8, 2005 (the “Warrants”), to purchase 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer pursuant to the Warrant Confirmation Letter, dated as of January 8, 2007 and filed as Exhibit 99.15 to Amendment No. 1 of the Schedule 13D, as filed on January 10, 2007.  The purchase price for the 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer was paid by TDC in full by delivery to the Issuer of the twenty-five floating rate unsecured notes that had been delivered to TDC on June 15, 2005, as filed as Exhibit 10.4 to Form 10-Q of the Issuer for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, as filed on December 8, 2005 (the “Notes”).

 

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) – (b) The responses contained in sub-section (a) – (b) of Item 5 of Schedule 13D are hereby incorporated by reference, except the last sentence of the second paragraph of the responses, which shall hereby be deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following:

TDC has advised NTC and the other joint filing persons hereof as follows:

 

(a) – (b) TDC beneficially owns 10,799,782 Shares of the Issuer (including any Shares that are deemed to be beneficially owned by TDC) and, based on information provided by the Issuer to TDC, as of December 18, 2006, such Shares constitute approximately 65.8% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer.  Of the 10,799,782 Shares beneficially owned by TDC, (i) 10,499,782 Shares are beneficially owned by TDC, and (ii) 300,000 Shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by TDC because TDC owns 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer, each of which is convertible into ten Shares at the option of the holder of those shares.

TDC has the sole power to vote and dispose of all of the 10,499,782 Shares it currently owns and, if TDC coverts its 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, it will have the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares acquired upon such conversion.
