This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D of Kevin Zugibe (the "Reporting Person"), as previously amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4, with respect to his ownership of the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Hudson Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (the "Company"), whose principal executive offices are located at PO Box 1541, One Blue Hill Plaza, 14th Floor, Pearl River, New York 10965.
