Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by Priam Capital Fund I, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Fund”), Priam Capital Associates, LLC, a Delaware limited liability Company and general partner of the Fund (“Fund GP”); and Howard Feinglass, the managing member of the Fund GP and a director of Howard Bancorp, Inc. (the “Issuer”) (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") on March 12, 2018 (the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Original Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. Any capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meanings set forth in the original Schedule 13D. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items, including previously filed exhibits, remain unchanged and are incorporated by reference herein.

 

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items, including previously filed exhibits, remain unchanged and are incorporated by reference herein. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.  Such information is based on 19,061,192 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer outstanding as of April 30, 2019, as reported on the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 10, 2019.

 

As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to direct the voting and disposition of the 1,991,949 shares of Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Fund. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Fund, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein.

 

As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, Mr. Feinglass also may be deemed to have sole power to direct the voting and disposition of 29,480 shares of Common Stock held by Mr. Feinglass individually. These shares are held in his individual capacity; neither the Fund nor Fund GP have any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of such shares.

 

(c) This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect positions which, as a result of an administrative error, were not identified as requiring a filing on Schedule 13D at the time such reports were due. This Amendment No. 1 reflects information that should have been included in amendments to Schedule 13D for events occurring on March 28, 2018, and April 17, 2018. It also includes information with respect to events subsequent to April 17, 2018 and through the date of this Amendment No. 1.

 

On March 28, 2018, the Fund distributed an aggregate of 531,960 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in an in-kind pro rata distribution for no consideration to limited partners of the Fund. None of the Reporting Persons nor any of their affiliates retained any pecuniary interest in such securities.

 

On March 29, 2018, the Fund distributed 19,948 shares and on April 17 distributed an aggregate of 193,665 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in an in-kind pro rata distribution for no consideration to limited partners of the Fund. None of the Reporting Persons nor any of their affiliates retained any pecuniary interest in such securities.

 

Subsequently, between May 15, 2018, and August 3, 2018, the Fund distributed an aggregate of 99,740 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in in-kind pro rata distributions for no consideration to limited partners of the Fund. None of the Reporting Persons nor any of their affiliates retained any pecuniary interest in such securities.

 

On August 14, 2018 and February 1, 2019, Howard Feinglass was awarded a 667 shares and 400 shares, respectively, as compensation for service on the Issuer’s board of directors. These shares are held in his individual capacity; neither the Fund nor Fund GP have any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of such shares.

 

 

Other than the matters referred to herein, there have been no other transactions in the Common Stock by the Reporting Persons since the filing of the Original Schedule 13D.

 

(d) The partners of the Fund have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock held for the account of the Fund in accordance with their ownership interests in the Fund. Other than Fund GP, the general partner of the Fund (whose holdings are reflected herein), no such partner has such power with respect to more than five percent of the class of securities to which this Amendment No. 1 relates.

 

(e) Not Applicable.
