This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No.1") amends and supplements
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") on 14 June 2012 ("Schedule 13D"), with respect to the
common stock (the "Common Stock") of Carrols Restaurant Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2(b) of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as
follows:
(b) The principal executive offices of the Fund are located
at 227 Elgin Avenue, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, P.O. Box
852 GT.
The principal executive offices of the Investment Manager are
located at Avda. 18 de Julio No. 975 - C.P. 11.100, Montevideo,
Uruguay.
Mr. Valle's residential address is Dorfstrasse 2B, Feusisberg,
CH 8835, Switzerland.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as
follows:
The consideration for the purchase of the shares of the Common
Stock reported in the original filing of the Schedule 13D was
derived from the Fund's own working capital. A total of
approximately US$10,777,141.24 was paid to acquire such shares.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:
Depending upon the prevailing market prices for the shares of
the Common Stock, the Fund may continue to sell additional
shares of the Common Stock in the open market as market
conditions permit at prices the Reporting Persons deem
attractive.
However, there can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons
will deem current or future market prices to be attractive,
that they will sell any shares of the Common Stock at specific
prices or that if they sell any share of the Common Stock at
specific prices or that if they sell any shares of the Common
Stock at particular prices that they will continue to sell
shares of the Common Stock at or above such prices.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as
follows:
(a) Since the filing of Schedule 13D, the Fund acquired and
sold shares of the Common Stock in multiple transactions.
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to
beneficially own 1,551,312 shares of the Common Stock. Such
shares represent 6.54% n13 of the outstanding Common Stock as
of the date of this statement.
The Investment Manager is the investment manager and the sole
holder of the non-participating voting shares of the Fund
and, accordingly, the Investment Manager has the power to
cause the Fund to vote or to dispose of securities which that
entity beneficially owns. Mr. Valle, as the sole director and
shareholder of the Investment Manager, has the power to direct
the voting or the disposition of the Shares. Therefore, for
the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Reporting
Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive
power over a total of 1,551,312 shares of the Common Stock.
The filing of the Schedule 13D, as amended, shall not be
construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for
purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act,
the beneficial owner of any securities covered by the
Schedule 13D, as amended.
