Schedule 13D


This Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") supersedes the Schedule 13G dated February 12, 1998, as previously amended by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of Alyn R. Holt, filed with respect to shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the "Stock"), of inTEST Corporation.

Item 1.

 

Security and Issuer

 

 

 

Common Stock, par value $0.01, of inTEST Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), the principal executive office of which is 7 Esterbrook Lane, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003.

 

 

 

Item 2.

 

Identity and Background

 

a.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by Alyn R. Holt, Connie E. Holt, Kristen Holt Thompson, Brian Thompson (collectively, the "Holt Family Members"), the Holt Charitable Remainder Unitrust u/a Dated 5/22/00 (the "2000 Trust"), the Alyn R. Holt Year 2001 Irrevocable Agreement of Trust u/a Dated 10/22/01 (the "2001 Trust"), and the Alyn R. Holt Trust fbo Kristen Holt Thompson u/a Dated 4/14/03 (the "2003 Trust"); the 2000 Trust, the 2001 Trust and the 2003 Trust, collectively, the Holt Trusts; and the Holt Family Members and the Holt Trusts, collectively the Reporting Persons.)

Each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns shares of the Stock and has announced an intention to enter into pre-arranged stock trading plans (also referred to as "Trading Plans") for the sale of shares owned by each of them. Under the Trading Plans, the sellers will specify a program for selling shares at certain prices and at certain times. Such sales would commence when the trading price of the stock reaches $8.00 per share. Recently, the stock has been trading around $3.50 per share and has traded as high as $3.97 per share. A portion of the shares would be sold at $8.00 per share. Additional sales would be triggered by higher trading prices.

Such sales would be conducted in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Rule 144 imposes a volume limitation on the sales of shares by Mr. Holt and related persons during any three month period, which limitation will be applicable to the aggregate sales under these Trading Plans. The volume limitation is currently equal to 1% of the total number of shares of the Company's stock outstanding (which would equal 103,014 shares based upon the number of shares outstanding as of April 30, 2010). The volume limitation may increase in the future depending upon the average trading volume of the shares during the four week period prior to any sale.

The respective Trading Plans will have substantially the same terms, and sales of shares under the Trading Plans will be allocated among the Reporting Persons for purposes of complying with the aggregate volume limitation under Rule 144. As a result, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Exchange Act is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of all of the shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by it except with respect to any shares directly owned by the respective Reporting Person or for which the Reporting Person has investment power over as trustee of any Holt Trust. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of any shares not directly owned by the respective Reporting Person.

 

 

 

 

b.

The principal business address for each member of the Reporting Persons is: c/o inTEST Corporation, 7 Esterbrook Lane, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003.

 

 

 

c.

Alyn R. Holt is the Executive Chairman of the Corporation. Connie E. Holt is retired. Kristen Holt Thompson is not employed. Brian Thompson is employed by PHH Motgage in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

 

 

 

 

d.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

 

 

 

e.

f.
