This statement is filed with respect to the shares of the common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (the “Issuer”), beneficially owned by Elliott Associates, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Elliott”), Elliott International, L.P. (“Elliott International”), and Elliott International Capital Advisers Inc. (“EICA” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) as of July 22, 2009 and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 23, 2006, as amended on June 17, 2009, June 22, 2009, July 7, 2009 and July 17, 2009 (the “Schedule 13D”). Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

ITEM 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)        Elliott owns 105,430 shares of Common Stock through a wholly-owned subsidiary, The Liverpool Limited Partnership. Elliott may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an additional 1,904,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by CDC IV, LLC consisting of warrants held by CDC IV, LLC presently exercisable for 2,009,430 shares of Common Stock (“Warrants”). As described in the Schedule 13D, Manchester has investment discretion with respect to the Warrants. Therefore, Elliott may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 2,009,430 shares of Common Stock, constituting 9.5% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Elliott International and EICA beneficially own an aggregate of 158,145shares of Common Stock, constituting 0.8% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Collectively, the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owners of 2,167,575 shares of Common Stock, constituting 10.3% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The stock ownership reported in this paragraph (a) of Item 5 are as of July 22, 2009.

(b)        Elliott has the power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it.

Elliott International has the shared power with EICA to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the shares of Common Stock owned by Elliott International. Information regarding each of Elliott International and EICA is set forth in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D and is expressly incorporated by reference herein.

(c)        No transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock were effected by Elliott on behalf of CDC IV during the past sixty days, except for those previously reported on this Schedule 13D. A list of the transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock that were effected by The Liverpool Limited Partnership on its own behalf is attached hereto as Appendix II and a list of the transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock that were effected by EICA on its own behalf are set forth on Appendix III.

(d)        Except for the Warrants, no person other than Elliott has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Elliott.

No person other than Elliott International and EICA has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Elliott International and EICA.

 

(e)

Not applicable.

 

 


Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer

CDC IV, LLC is the owner of warrant to purchase 601,120 shares of the Issuers Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.91 per share (the “$2.91 Warrant”). The $2.91 Warrant was issued to CDC IV, LLC in February, 2006, and subsequently amended and restated during February, 2006. The $2.91 Warrant, as amended and restated, contains a provision that requires CDC IV, LLC to provide 61 days prior written notice to the Issuer in order to exercise such warrant. Therefore, since CDC IV, LLC cannot exercise the warrant on less than 61 days prior notice to the Issuer, in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, CDC IV, LLC is not be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 601,120 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant. Elliott, which has investment power over the $2.91 Warrant and other securities of the Issuer owned by CDC IV, LLC, previously included the 601,120 shares issuable upon exercise of the $2.91 Warrant in the calculation of its beneficial ownership. This Amendment sets forth Elliott’s beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock without including the 601,120 shares issuable upon exercise of the $2.91 Warrant, and therefore, reduces Elliott’s beneficial ownership.

Item 7.
