Schedule 13D Page 6 of 8 Pages
This Amendment No. 3 (this "Third Amendment") to Schedule 13D is filed on
behalf of the Filing Parties named in the Prior 13D with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of The Providence Service
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). This Third Amendment amends
the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Filing Parties on November 7,
2008 (the "Original 13D"), Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on January 22, 2009
("Amendment No. 1") and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on February 13, 2009
("Amendment No. 2" and with the Original 13D and Amendment No. 1, the "Prior
13D"). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Prior 13D. Except as
indicated herein, the information set forth in the Prior 13D remains unchanged.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following before the final paragraph
of the Item.
Pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Issuer's Bylaws, on February 19, 2009,
73114 sent a letter to the Issuer whereby 73114 notified the Issuer that it
proposes to nominate two individuals for election to the board of directors of
the Issuer at the Issuer's 2009 annual meeting of stockholders. In particular,
73114 proposes to nominate Michael C. Bradley, Jr. and Captain Brian T.
Costello, USN for election as directors of the Issuer. Mr. Bradley is a Filing
Party and is a participant in the consent solicitation described in the Prior
13D. Captain Costello is not a Filing Party, is not a participant in such
consent solicitation, and is not an affiliate of the Filing Parties or any of
such participants.
The Filing Parties do not seek to gain control of the Issuer's board of
directors, to make any merger, tender offer or other acquisition proposal, or to
engage in any transaction that would make the Filing Parties an "acquiring
person" under the Issuer's recently adopted stockholder rights plan (that is,
the holder of 20% or more of the Common Stock). The Filing Parties do seek to
influence the Issuer's board of directors to strengthen the Issuer's corporate
governance.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Paragraph (c) of Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in the following
respects:
(c) During the past 60 days, the Filing Parties effected no transactions
in the Common Stock.

correct.
