SCHEDULE 13D
This amendment is being filed to replace and supersede the entire Schedule 13G
filed in error on January 28, 2008 by the Reporting Persons named herein and
Seligman Communications and Information Fund, Inc. The Reporting Persons named
herein continue to be persons required to file a Schedule 13D and amendments
thereto with respect to the common stock of Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
The name of the issuer is Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Issuer"). The address of the Issuer's principal executive office is 2975
Stender Way, Santa Clara, CA 94054. This Amendment No. 3 to the Statement on
Schedule 13D relating to the Issuer's common stock, no par value (the "Common
Stock"), is being filed jointly by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated, a
Delaware corporation ("JWS"), Seligman Spectrum Focus (Master) Fund, a Cayman
Islands corporation ("SSF"), and William C. Morris, controlling shareholder of
JWS ("Morris" and, together with JWS and SSF, the "Reporting Persons"), and
supplements and amends the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the
Commission on June 25, 2007 and amended on August 24, 2007 and January 11, 2008.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
In acquiring the Common Stock reported in Item 5(c) herein, SSF expended
approximately $1.66 million (including commissions) of its working capital and
another client for whom JWS acts as an investment adviser expended approximately
$27,700 (including commissions) of its working capital.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a), (b) Based on the Issuer's Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on
December 12, 2007, there were 16,879,645 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding as of November 30, 2007. As to each Reporting Person, Items (7)-(11)
and (13) of their respective cover page are incorporated herein by reference.
JWS and Morris do not directly own any shares of the Issuer. The shares of the
Issuer reported herein are directly owned by SSF and one other client of JWS;
SSF and such other client have each engaged JWS as their investment adviser with
discretionary authority to acquire, dispose and vote the shares of the Issuer.
JWS, as investment adviser to SSF and such other client, and Morris, as JWS's
controlling shareholder, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or
direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition
of) the Common Stock reported herein.
(c) The trading dates, number of shares of Common Stock purchased or sold and
the price per share for all transactions by the Reporting Persons in the Common
Stock within the last 60 days, which were all executed by broker-dealers, are
set forth below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reporting Person Date # of shares Purchased / (Sold) Price Per Share
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SSF 1/18/2008 22,500 3.5755
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SSF 1/9/2008 100,000 3.75
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SSF 12/20/2007 80,000 4.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SSF 12/20/2007 20,000 4.1451
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SSF 12/17/2007 163,100 4.56
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SSF 12/4/2007 9,500 5.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JWS f/b/o client 12/17/2007 5,500 4.56
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JWS f/b/o client 12/4/2007 500 5.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5
(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
the Common Stock reported herein; provided, however, that one JWS client (not a
Reporting Person hereunder) owning 112,800 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
has the right to receive any dividends paid by the Issuer and could terminate
its investment advisory relationship with JWS and then subsequently direct the
use of proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock owned by such client.
