Page 4 of 7 1 Of the shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock") of Ultralife Batteries, Inc. (the "Issuer") covered by this Statement, 135,700 shares are purchasable by Victoria Partners L.P., a Nevada limited Partnership ("Victoria Partners") upon exercise of an option (the "Option") purchased by Victoria Partners on December 22, 1995 and described in Item 5 of this Statement. Prior to the exercise of the Option, Victoria Partners is not entitled to any rights as a shareholder of the Issuer as to the shares covered by the Option. The Option may be exercised only on December 23, 1996. 2 Adjusted to reflect the issuance by the Issuer of 135,700 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Option as described herein. Page 5 of 7 This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends only the items indicated from the initial Schedule 13D dated October 25, 1996 (the "Initial Statement"). Unless specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1, the information in the Initial Statement remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 without definition have the same meaning as in the Initial Statement. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report that, as a result of a recent settlement transaction ("Settlement Transaction") with respect to the Option reported in the Initial Statement, the percentage of outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Persons has decreased by more than 1%. The Initial Statement is amended as follows: ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION All of funds to be used in making the purchases described in the Initial Statement, if such purchases are made, will derive from funds of Victoria Partners. The aggregate amount of funds used in making such purchases, if such purchases are made, will be $3,240,000. ITEM 5. INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (A) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1 and as a result of the ownership of certain securities, the issuance of the Option and the Settlement Transaction, Victoria Partners and, as a result of its status as general partner of Victoria Partners, Fertitta Enterprises, and as a result of his authority to make investments on behalf of Victoria Partners, Mr. Lorenzo Fertitta, may be deemed to own beneficially 355,700 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (approximately 4.4% of the outstanding Common Stock (2)). Of such amount, Victoria Partners directly owns 220,000 shares (approximately 2.7% of the outstanding Common Stock (2)) and has the right to acquire 135,700 shares (approximately 1.7% of the outstanding Common Stock (2)) at a price of $24.00 per share. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Reporting Person as to the beneficial ownership of any of such shares, and, prior to exercise of the Option, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all such shares. The Option will expire automatically December 23, 1996. The Option is exercisable only on such date. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. (B) Victoria Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 220,000 shares of Common Stock it owns and, should it exercise the Option, would have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the additional 135,700 shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Option. (C) On November 15, 1996, Victoria Partners entered into the Settlement Transaction to partially close the Option with respect to 144,300 shares of the Common Stock subject to acquisition by Victoria Partners under the Option, in consideration of $0.01 per share. (D) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities referenced herein. (E) Not applicable.
