AMENDMENT NO. 12 TO 13D
This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of Standard Diversified Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed by each of the Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D (the “Initial Schedule 13D”)
that was originally filed on October 29, 2015 and amended on December 21, 2015, March 2, 2016, September 27, 2016, November 25, 2016, June 5, 2017, June 26, 2017, December 4, 2017, January 5, 2018, June 19, 2018, September 7, 2018 and September 14,
2018 and by this Amendment (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used therein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Schedule 13D.
This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on December 10, 2018 (the “8-K”), the Company entered into an
agreement to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of The Tri-State Consumer, Inc. (the “Acquisition”). In connection therewith, and as also reported in the 8-K, Standard General L.P., on behalf of certain funds for which it
serves as investment advisor, provided the Issuer a commitment (the “Commitment Letter” )to fund up to $20,000,000 of the cash portion of the Issuer’s purchase price with respect to the Acquisition.
The foregoing description of the terms and
conditions of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Letter, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) and (b) See Items 7-13 of the cover pages and Item 2 of the Schedule 13D.
The percentage calculations herein are based upon the statement in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended September 30, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2018, that there were 9,093,634 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and 7,815,652 outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock of the Issuer as of November 2, 2018.
As shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the election of the
holder, each Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership is reported herein as if that Reporting Person (and no other shareholder) elected to convert all shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person into shares
of Class A Common Stock. In addition, beneficial ownership of shares of such Class B Common Stock are reported as if such shares were not so converted.
(c) The following table lists the Reporting Persons’ transactions in the Issuer’s securities that were effected
during the sixty day period prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D and that have not been previously reported in the Schedule 13D:
| Transaction | Date | No. Shares | Price |
| | | | |
| Open market sale | 10/18/2018 | 4,102 shares of Class A Common Stock | $16.5029 |
| Open market sale | 10/19/2018 | 19,366 shares of Class A Common Stock | $16.5102 |
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
The information set forth in Item 4
is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 7. Exhibit 99.1 | Materials to Be Filed as Exhibits Form of Commitment
Letter, dated December 10, 2018, between Standard General L.P. and the Issuer, incorporated by reference to Exhibit C to Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by the Issuer with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 10, 2018. |
