SCHEDULE 13D
Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2018 (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”) filed by Summers Value Fund LP (“Summers Value Fund”), Summers Value Partners GP LLC, Summer Value Partners LLC and Andrew Summers (“Mr. Summers” and collectively with Summers Value Fund, Summers Value Partners GP LLC and Summer Value Partners LLC the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Scott’s Liquid Gold–Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Corporation”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D to supplement the Schedule 13D as follows:
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The aggregate purchase price of the 746,064 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is approximately $1,504,617, not including brokerage commissions, which was funded with partnership funds of Summers Value Fund LP. No part of the purchase price represents borrowed funds.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On January 28, 2019, Summers Value Fund delivered a letter to the Corporation’s Corporate Secretary, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference (the “Nomination Letter”). The Reporting Persons believe that the Common Stock of the Corporation is dramatically undervalued on an absolute basis and relative to industry peers, trading at three times current year EV/EBITDA with a pristine balance sheet, strong free cash flow generation and an attractive portfolio of beauty and skin care products. Significant opportunities exist to create value for the benefit of all stockholders based on actions within the control of management and the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation. As one of the only industry participants with a completely un-levered balance sheet, capital deployment—including share repurchases and dividends in addition to bolt-on product acquisitions—could be utilized to create meaningful stockholder value over the long run. In the Nomination Letter, Summers Value Fund expresses its belief that Mr. Summers’ experience, background and financial acumen will allow Mr. Summers to bring valuable expertise to the Board.
To that end, the Nomination Letter provides written notice of the Reporting Persons’ intent to nominate Mr. Summers (the “Nominee”) for election to the Board at the Corporation’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. The Reporting Persons believe that the Nominee is a highly qualified candidate with substantial relevant experience who can effectively represent stockholders in the assessment, oversight and execution of initiatives that can maximize stockholder returns.
CUSIP No. 810202101 | Page 7 of 9 Pages |
Biographical information relating to the Nominee is set forth below.
Andrew Summers is currently the sole managing member of Summers Value Partners GP LLC and Summers Value Partners LLC. Summers Value Fund LP makes investments across the global health care sector, including animal health and consumer health companies, with a focus on small and micro-cap stocks. Mr. Summers started his investment career in 1998 at INVESCO Funds Group where he became the Co-Portfolio Manager of a $3.5 billion health care fund. He founded Silvergate Capital Management LLC in 2004 where he managed a health care hedge fund. Mr. Summers grew Silvergate to over $100 million in assets under management while compounding capital at 12.3% per year, net of fees, over three years.
