Introduction

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) 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 filed on May 31, 2006, relating to the acquisition of 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 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

The exercises of the options and the sales of the shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock issuable thereunder, as described in Item 4 of the Statement, were effected by broker-assisted “cashless” exercises.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

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

On May 30, 2006, AngioDynamics completed a public offering of 2,760,000 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock.

From July, 2006, through November, 2006, Linda Stern made sales of 74,000 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 sales plan previously entered into with Goldman, Sachs. In addition, in May and June, 2006, Mrs. Stern exercised options for 3,124 AngioDynamics Common Shares and immediately sold such shares in broker-assisted “cashless” exercises. 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.

On December 20, 2006, the H. Stern Estate distributed options to purchase 46,387 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock to Mrs. Stern, and options to purchase 46,386 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock to a QTIP trust established under the H. Stern Will (the “QTIP Trust”), as beneficiaries under the terms of the H. Stern Will. Mrs. Stern is a co-trustee and sole lifetime beneficiary of the QTIP Trust.

The options were exercised in full by Mrs. Stern and the QTIP Trust on December 20, 2006, for $4.35 per share (an aggregate 86,773 shares) and $13.10 per share (an aggregate of 6,000 shares) and the shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock acquired thereby sold on the same day in open market transactions on The Nasdaq Stock Market through broker-assisted “cashless” exercise procedures, as further set forth in Item 5(c) of the Statement.

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 1,578,796 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock, which includes 6,000 shares subject to options that expire on December 28, 2006 (exercisable at $24.21 per share), which constitute 10.1% of the issued and 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 1,579,687 shares. Such shares represent 10.1% 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 15,623,743 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock outstanding as of October 3, 2006.

 

(b)

Linda Stern has sole voting and dispositive rights with respect to the 891 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock she owns directly. The H. Stern Estate and Mrs. Stern share voting and dispositive rights with respect to the 1,578,796 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock owned directly by the H. Stern Estate.

Item 5(c) of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

On December 20, 2006, the H. Stern Estate distributed options to purchase 46,387 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock to Mrs. Stern, and options to purchase 46,386 shares of AngioDynamics Common Stock to the QTIP Trust, as beneficiaries under the H. Stern Will. These options were exercised on that same date for exercise prices of $4.35 per share (86,773 shares) and $13.10 per share (6,000 shares).
