This Amendment No. 2 (“
Amendment No. 2
”) amends
and supplements the statements on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”)
on August 19, 2016 (the “
Original Schedule 13D
”) and Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with
the SEC on September 14, 2016 (“
Amendment No. 1
,” together with this Amendment No. 2 and the Original Schedule
13D, the “
Schedule 13D
”) with respect to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “
Common
Stock
”), of Monster Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Issuer
”). Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 2

Item 4.
|
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
|
|
|
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by
the addition of the following:
|
On September 30, 2016, the Reporting Person filed with
the SEC a preliminary consent statement on Schedule 14A (the “
Consent Statement
”) in connection with
its solicitation of written consents of the Issuer’s stockholders (the “
Consent Solicitation
”)
to take the following actions: (1) repeal any provision of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the
“
Bylaws
”) currently in effect that was not included in the Bylaws filed with the SEC on March 21,
2016; (2) remove, without cause, all seven members of the current Board; (3) amend Article III, Section 1 of the
Bylaws to fix the size of the Board at seven members; and (4) elect the Reporting Person’s seven nominees to the
Board: Joseph Anto, Ethan Bloomfield, Daniel Dienst (“ Mr. Dienst”), Heath Freeman, Kevin
Gregson, Lowell Robinson, and Gregory Slayton (collectively, the “
Nominees
”).
The Reporting Person anticipates that if its slate of nominees is elected, the new Board, subject to its review
of the Issuer’s business and exercise of its fiduciary duties, will appoint Mr. Dienst as interim Chief Executive Officer while
the new Board conducts a search for a full-time Chief Executive Officer, with Mr. Dienst being paid $100,000 per month and receiving
expense reimbursement and customary benefits.
In addition, on September 30, 2016, the Reporting Person
issued a press release (the “
Press Release
”), setting forth information about the Consent
Solicitation and the Nominees and giving its reasons for engaging in the Consent Solicitation. The foregoing
summary of the Press Release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Press Release,
which is attached as
Exhibit 3
to this Schedule 13D and which is incorporated by reference herein.

|
The Reporting
Person has an understanding with Mr. Dienst pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions, Mr. Dienst may be entitled to
a percentage of the Reporting Person’s net appreciation of its Common Stock during the period starting on the
announcement of the Nominees and ending on the Mr. Dienst’s election or appointment to the Board. In the event the
Consent Solicitation is unsuccessful and Mr. Dienst is not elected or appointed to the Board, Mr. Dienst may otherwise be
entitled to a percentage of the Reporting Person’s net appreciation. If Mr. Dienst is elected to the Board, he will not
be entitled to any of the Reporting Person’s net appreciation for any period following his appointment or to any other
payments from the Reporting Person in connection with his service.
