SCHEDULE 13D/A
     This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase Common Stock (“Warrants”) of Adherex Technologies Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Issuer”).
     This Amendment is being filed by (i) Southpoint Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (the “Master Fund”), as the holder of the shares of Common Stock; (ii) Southpoint Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”); (iii) Southpoint Qualified Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Qualified Fund”); (iv) Southpoint Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Offshore Fund”); (v) Southpoint GP, LLC (“Southpoint GP LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company; (vi) Southpoint Capital Advisors LLC (“Southpoint CA LLC”), a Delaware limited liability company; (vii) Southpoint Capital Advisors LP (“Southpoint Advisors”), a Delaware limited partnership; (viii) Southpoint GP, LP (“Southpoint GP”), a Delaware limited partnership; and (ix) John S. Clark II, a citizen of the United States. John S. Clark II is a member of each of Southpoint GP LLC and Southpoint CA LLC and a limited partner of each of Southpoint Advisors and Southpoint GP. Southpoint GP LLC is the general partner of Southpoint GP. Southpoint GP is the general partner of the Fund, the Qualified Fund and the Master Fund. The Offshore Fund, the Fund, and the Qualified Fund are also general partners of the Master Fund. The persons mentioned in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) are referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”
     This Amendment is being filed to report that the number of Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons has been reduced to 0. This Amendment modifies the original Schedule 13D (the “Original 13D”) filed by the Reporting Persons on March 2, 2007.
     Except as set forth below, all previously reported items remain unchanged.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as below:
     (a) As of February 23, 2010, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 41,504,000 shares of Common Stock, which represents 32.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, which such percentage was calculated by dividing (i) 41,504,000, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons by (ii) 128,226,787 shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 13, 2009, as disclosed in the Issuer Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 16, 2009.
     (b) The Reporting Persons have the power to vote and dispose of the 41,504,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund.
     The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 41,504,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims all such beneficial ownership.

Page 11 of 17


 

     (c) Except for the transactions described in Item 5 hereof, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past sixty (60) days.
     (d) Not Applicable.
     (e) Not Applicable.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
Item 7 of the Original 13D is hereby amended and restated as below:
