Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this Schedule 13D/A (this
"Amendment No. 1") amends the Schedule 13D filed on January 24, 2008 (the
"Original Schedule 13D" and, together with this Amendment No. 1, are
collectively referred to herein as the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 1
relates to the common stock, $0.01 par value per share of VistaCare, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Unless the context otherwise requires,
references herein to the "Common Stock" are to such common stock of the Issuer.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
The Reporting Persons expended an aggregate of approximately $8,230,598 of
its investment capital to purchase the 998,493 shares of Common Stock. Such
transactions were effected in open market purchases and acquired in the ordinary
course of business and are held by SAC Associates in commingled margin accounts,
maintained at Goldman Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co., which may extend
margin credit to the Reporting Persons as and when required to open or carry
positions in the margin account, subject to applicable federal margin
regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the
positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the
repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin account may from time to
time have debit balances. Since other securities are held in the margin account,
it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase
the shares of Common Stock reported herein.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
(a) As of the close of business on January 31, 2008, the Reporting Persons
beneficially own an aggregate of 998,493 shares of Common Stock, representing
approximately 5.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. The percentages
used herein are based upon 16,867,692 shares of Common Stock reported to be
outstanding as of December 4, 2007 by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 11, 2007.
SAC Capital Advisors, SAC Capital Management and Mr. Cohen own directly no
shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to investment management agreements, each of
SAC Capital Advisors and SAC Capital Management hold all investment and voting
power with respect to securities held by SAC Associates. By reason of the
provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, as amended, each of SAC Capital Advisors,
SAC Capital Management and Mr. Cohen may be deemed to own beneficially 998,493
shares of Common Stock (constituting approximately 5.9% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding).
(b) None of the Reporting Persons has sole power to vote or direct the vote
or sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares of Common Stock.
