SCHEDULE 13D
(Amendment No. 1)
Item 1. Security and Issuer
The Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on January 28, 1998, by High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership ("High River"), Riverdale LLC, a New York limited liability company
("Riverdale"), and Carl C. Icahn, a citizen of the United States of America
(collectively, the "Registrants"), relating to the common shares, no par value
(the "Shares"), of Brooke Group Ltd. (the "Issuer"), is amended to furnish the
additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein
but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
previously filed statement on Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The aggregate purchase price of the 244,000 Shares purchased by the
Registrants not previously reported on a Schedule 13D by the Registrants was
$1,236,891.95 (including commissions). The source of funding for the purchase of
these Shares was general working capital of the Registrants.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) As of the close of business on October 7, 1998, Registrants may be
deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,574,100 Shares, representing
approximately 7.7% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 20,473,730
Shares stated to be outstanding as of August 14, 1998 by the Issuer in the
Issuer's Form 10-Q filing, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 17, 1998).
(b) High River has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with
regard to 1,574,100 Shares. Riverdale has shared voting power and shared
dispositive power with regard to 1,574,100 Shares. Carl C. Icahn has shared
voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to 1,574,100 Shares.
Riverdale and Mr. Icahn, by virtue of their relationships to High River
(as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which High River directly
beneficially owns. Each of Riverdale and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial
ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
(c) The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to
Shares effected during the past sixty days by any of the
Registrants. All such transactions were effected in the open
market.
