INTRODUCTION

 

This Amendment No. 3 (this “ Amendment No. 3 ”) amends the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “ Original 13E-3 ”), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) on January 31, 2012, as amended by Amendment No.1 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed on March 5, 2012 (“ Amendment No.1 ”), as amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed on March 22, 2012 (“ Amendment No. 2 ” and, together with the Original 13E-3 and Amendment No. 1, the “ Schedule 13E-3 ”), by SGS Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Parent ”), Ares Corporate Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ Ares ”), EGS Dutchco B.V., a Dutch private company with limited liability (“ EGS ”), NewBridge International Investment Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“ NewBridge ” and, together with Ares and EGS, the “ Parent Members ”), G. Drew Conway (“ Mr. Conway ”), Paul G. Joubert (“ Mr. Joubert ” and, together with Mr. Conway, the “ Rollover Directors ”), and the other persons listed on the cover of this Amendment No. 3 above the caption “Name of Persons Filing Statement” (together with Parent, the Parent Members and the Rollover Directors, the “ Filing Persons ”), pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), and Rule 13e-3 thereunder.  This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed in connection with potential privately negotiated purchases of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“ Shares ”), of Stream Global Services, Inc.

All information set forth in this Amendment No. 3 should be read in conjunction with the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Schedule 13E-3, as amended to date.  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original 13E-3, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2.

 

Item 5. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements

 

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

The Filing Persons are aware of an informal phone call made on April 3, 2012 by the chief executive officer (the “ Industry Executive ”) of another company in the same industry as Stream (the “ Industry Participant ”) to Kathryn Marinello, Stream’s chief executive officer. In that call, the Industry Executive inquired whether Stream would be interested in engaging in discussions at some time in the future to determine whether the parties should explore a potential transaction.  The Industry Executive did not propose any transaction or terms.  Stream has informed the Filing Persons that, since the call, neither Ms. Marinello nor anyone else at Stream has (a) had any further contact with the Industry Executive or (b) received any proposals from or on behalf of the Industry Participant.  There is no assurance however as to whether Stream will or will not decide to pursue any transaction with any third parties, including the Industry Participant, in the future.

 

Item 5(e) of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

Rollover Contribution Agreement
