Security and Issuer. This Statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of MIM Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal executive offices are located at One Blue Hill Plaza, 15th Floor, P.O. Box 1670, Pearl River, New York 10965-8670. Item 2. Identity and Background. (a)-(c) The person filing this Statement is Mr. Richard H. Friedman. Mr. Friedman's business address is c/o MIM Corporation, One Blue Hill Plaza, 15th Floor, P.O. Box 1670, Pearl River, New York 10965-8670. Mr. Friedman is the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Issuer, whose address is set forth above in Item 1. (d)-(e) During the last five years, Mr. Friedman (i) has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was not a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining further violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. (f)-(g) Mr. Friedman is a citizen of the United State of America. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Mr. Friedman exercised 1,500,000 options ("Options") to purchase the Issuer's Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $150,000.00. These funds were from Mr. Friedman's personal assets. Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. Over the past several months, the price of the Insurer's Common Stock has declined, culminating in the price of Issuer's Common Stock falling to its historic low price on or about January 26, 1998. Mr. Friedman determined that it was in his personal best interest to exercise the Options at a time which was most advantageous to him from a tax planning perspective. In addition, effective January 1, 1998, the Issuer's founder (the "Founder") and then Vice Chairman went on administrative leave from all responsibilities with the Issuer. The Founder had granted the Options to Mr. Friedman in May, 1996. Mr. Friedman further determined that it was in his best interest to secure voting control over these shares at such time. Accordingly, Mr. Friedman exercised the Options on January 26, 1998. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. - -------------------- ----------------- CUSIP No. 553044108 Page 4 of 6 Pages - -------------------- ----------------- (a)-(b) Mr. Friedman is the record and beneficial owner of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer representing approximately 11.2% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer, and has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares. (c) Not applicable. Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. The Issuer, Mr. Friedman and another holder of options to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement-V, dated July 31, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Registration Rights Agreement-V, dated August 12, 1996 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer granted Mr. Friedman and the other holder certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by them. Other than the Registration Rights Agreement, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between Mr. Friedman and any other person (including the Issuer) exists with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any such securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
