This Amendment No. 4 (the Amendment) amends the Schedule 13D filed with SEC on October 16, 2003 (together with amendments thereto filed before this Amendment No. 4, the Schedule 13D), by Michael Bernstein, Deborah Bernstein, Elizabeth Fishman, Alicia Fishman Volovick (Ms. Volovick married in October 2005) and Diana Fishman (collectively, the Group) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the Common Stock), of Crown Crafts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D as heretofore amended shall remain unchanged.
This amendment is being filed to give notice of the dissolution of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
Each member of the Group acquired the shares of Common Stock reported in Item 5 below for his or her own account, and for investment purposes, with no intention of changing or influencing control of the Company or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect. The Group was formed in October 2003 to evaluate various strategies to maximize stockholder value. The Company completed a recapitalization on July 11, 2006, which resulted in a significant increase in stockholder value. Upon completion of the recapitalization and the resulting increase in stockholder value, the members of the Group agreed that they no longer needed to act together as a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and they agreed to dissolve the Group, effective July 12, 2006 (the Termination Date). Effective on the Termination Date, each former member of the Group was no longer deemed to share beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock with the other former members of the Group.
In light of the dissolution of the Group, no further amendments of the Schedule 13D will be filed with respect to the Group. Each of Deborah Bernstein, Elizabeth Fishman, Alicia Fishman Volovick and Diana Fishman individually owns less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company and, accordingly, will no longer be required to file a Schedule 13D as long as her ownership does not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Stock. Any further filing relating to Michael Bernsteins beneficial ownership of the Companys Common Stock will be made, if required, in his individual capacity.
As of July 28, 2006, Michael Bernstein, Deborah Bernstein, Elizabeth Fishman, Alicia Fishman Volovick and Diana Fishman beneficially own the number of shares shown in the following table. Michael Bernstein and Elizabeth Fishman are siblings. Michael Bernstein is the father of Deborah Bernstein. Elizabeth Fishman is the mother of Alicia Fishman Volovick and Diana Fishman.
Number of Shares | Percent of | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Beneficially Owned | Outstanding | ||||||
Michael Bernstein | 931,307 | 9.8 | ||||||
Deborah Bernstein | 40,590 | 0.4 | ||||||
Elizabeth Fishman | 473,085 | 4.9 | ||||||
Alicia Fishman Volovick | 93,340 | 1.0 | ||||||
Diana Fishman | 48,869 | 0.5 |
The percentages of outstanding shares of Common Stock set out above are computed based on a total of 9,505,937 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 9, 2006, as reported by the Company in its Definitive Proxy Statement (the Proxy) as filed with the SEC on June 30, 2006.

As of July 28, 2006, Michael Bernstein beneficially owns a total of 931,307 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Bernstein has sole voting and dispositive power of 866,307 shares of Common Stock, of which 748,491 shares are held directly or in personal retirement accounts, 82,236 shares are held by a family foundation of which Mr. Bernstein is sole trustee, and 35,580 shares are held by Mr. Bernstein as the sole custodian for the benefit of his daughters. Mr. Bernstein is also a co-trustee of a trust that owns 65,000 shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Bernstein may therefore be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over those shares. Mr. Bernstein formerly had beneficial ownership of 60,832 shares as trustee of the Philip Bernstein Trust for the benefit of his daughters. (Due to an administrative oversight, 16,000 of these shares were not previously reported.) In 2004, Mr. Bernstein resigned as trustee and Elizabeth Bernstein became the trustee of the Philip Bernstein Trust. The record ownership of the shares, however, was not altered to reflect this change until February 10, 2006. Mr. Bernstein formerly had beneficial ownership of 12,500 shares as trustee of the Michael Bernstein Trust for the benefit of his daughters until July 12, 2006 when those shares were sold in an open market transaction.
In the past 60 calendar days, starting with the most recent date, Mr. Bernstein has disposed of shares of common stock on the dates in open market transactions, in the amounts and for the prices shown on the following table.
