Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation ("RCBA Inc."); Blum Strategic GP III, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP III"); Blum Strategic GP III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum GP III LP"); Blum Strategic Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum Strategic III"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP IV"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum GP IV LP") and Saddlepoint Partners GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Saddlepoint GP") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). This amendment relates to shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of Avid Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is One Park West, Tewksbury, MA 01876. The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D as previously amended. Item 2. Identity and Background --------------------------------- There have been no changes to Item 2 since the Schedule 13D Amendment filed on May 1, 2008. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations ------------------------------------------------------------ There have been no changes to Item 3 since the Schedule 13D Amendment filed on May 1, 2008. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction -------------------------------- There have been no changes to Item 4 since the Schedule 13D Amendment filed on May 1, 2008. * * * * * CUSIP NO. 05367P100 SCHEDULE 13D Page 12 of 14 Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer ---------------------------------------------- (a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on November 7, 2008, there were 37,098,933 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 3, 2008. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 1,829,989 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner, which represents 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 4,100,000 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 11.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 2,059,816 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP IV which serves as general partner of Blum GP IV LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic IV, which represents 5.6% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iv) 329,840 shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 0.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (v) 86,100 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. ("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and 86,100 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("Virginia Electric"), which represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with respect to which Blum LP has voting and investment power. Each Investment Advisory Client has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum LP, but neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own account. Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 8,491,845 shares of the Common Stock, which is 22.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum LP, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP or Saddlepoint GP. * * * * * CUSIP NO. 05367P100 SCHEDULE 13D Page 13 of 14 c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons have purchased the following shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share ------- ---------- -------- ----------- For Blum Strategic IV for 10-30-2008 16,945 14.5369 which Blum GP IV LP 10-31-2008 8,400 14.5600 serves as the general partner 11-04-2008 37,877 14.5525 and for Blum GP IV which 11-05-2008 35,000 14.5000 serves as the general 11-05-2008 85,712 14.5141 partner for Blum GP IV LP 11-06-2008 38,836 14.4467 11-06-2008 40,000 14.4533 11-07-2008 55,727 14.5110 11-10-2008 45,000 14.4367 11-10-2008 40,000 14.4300 11-11-2008 90,818 14.2721 11-12-2008 158,961 13.9026 11-12-2008 25,000 14.0000 11-13-2008 81,724 13.4296 11-13-2008 25,000 13.5800 In addition, on October 31, 2008, the Reporting Persons distributed 427,413 shares of Common Stock to a limited partner in one of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner and transferred 1,187 shares of Common Stock to Blum LP.
