Introduction
 
This Amendment No. 4 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) jointly by (i) Caprius, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the issuer of the equity securities which are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 Transaction (“Caprius”), (ii) Vintage Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Vintage”), (iii) Capac Co., a Delaware corporation and a newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Vintage (“Merger Sub”), (iv) The Fred C. Sands Children’s Trust, which owns 15% of the membership interests of Vintage (the “Children’s Trust”), (v) The Fred C. Sands Family Revocable Trust, which owns 85% of the membership interests of Vintage (the “Family Trust”), and (vi) Fred C. Sands (“Mr. Sands”), the manager of Vintage and the trustee of the Children’s Trust and the Family Trust (the persons listed in (i) through (vi), collectively, the “Filing Persons.”)  This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Transaction Statement.
 
Item 15.      Additional Information
 
Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On November 10, 2010, Caprius, Vintage and the Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), subject to stockholder approval.
 
On April 21, 2011, at a special meeting of stockholders, the Caprius stockholders adopted the Merger Agreement by the required vote, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Caprius (the “Merger”).
 
On April 21, 2011, Caprius filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Merger Sub was merged with and into Caprius, with Caprius continuing as the surviving corporation and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased.  As a result of the Merger, Caprius became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vintage.
 
At the effective time of the Merger the outstanding shares of capital stock of Caprius (other than any shares owned by Vintage or Merger Sub, by Caprius as treasury stock, or by any stockholders who properly exercised appraisal rights under Delaware law) were converted as follows: (a) each share of Common Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $0.065 per share in cash, (b) each share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $40.625 per share in cash, representing the common-equivalent consideration based upon its conversion ratio of 625 shares of Common Stock, and (c) each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $6.50 per share in cash, representing the common-equivalent based upon its conversion ratio of 100 shares of Common Stock, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.
 
Upon the effective time of the Merger, the Caprius Common Stock became eligible for termination of registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Caprius has filed a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the Commission in order to deregister its Common Stock under the Exchange Act and terminate its periodic reporting thereunder.  In addition, Caprius has sought to discontinue the trading of its Common Stock in the over-the-counter market.
