This Amendment No. 24 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule

January 3, 2008 by Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited
partnership, ("Blum LP"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California
corporation ("RCBA Inc. "); Blum Strategic GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company ("Blum GP"); Blum Strategic GP II, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Blum GP II"); Blum Strategic Partners II, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership ("Blum Strategic II"),(collectively, the
"Reporting Persons").
This amendment to the Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock, no
par value per share (the "Common Stock") of PRG-Schultz International, Inc., a
Georgia corporation (the "Issuer"). The principal executive office and
mailing address of the Issuer is 600 Galleria Parkway, Suite 100, Atlanta,
Georgia 30339-5949.
The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless
otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings

CUSIP NO. 69357C503 SCHEDULE 13D Page 8 of 10
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
---------------------------------------------
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:
(a),(b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 7, 2008, there were 22,219,023 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2008. Based on such
information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c)
below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following
shares of Common Stock: (i) 1,039,722 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum
LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP
serves as the general partner, which represents 4.7% of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock; (ii) 11,770 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP on
behalf of the limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner,
which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iii)
2,729,970 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP II on behalf of the
limited partnership for which it serves as the general partner and on behalf
of the limited partnership for which it serves as the managing limited
partner, which represents 12.3% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by
Blum LP, Blum GP and Blum GP II. The Reporting Persons therefore may be
deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to
have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,781,462 shares of the Common
Stock, which is 17.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general
partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities
over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of this
Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders,
directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and
members of Blum GP and Blum GP II, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner
of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum GP, or
Blum GP II.
(c) On January 2, 2009, the Reporting Persons distributed 754,068 shares of
Common Stock to limited partners in two of the limited partnerships for which
Blum LP serves as the general partner.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
