Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2019 (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”) filed by (i) Maran Partners Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MPF”), (ii) Maran Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MCM”), (iii) Maran Partners GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MPGP”), and (iv) Daniel J. Roller (“Mr. Roller”) (the foregoing persons are hereinafter referred to collectively as 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 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The Reporting Persons acquired their shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons purchased shares of Common Stock because they believed that the shares may present significant opportunities for realization of increased stockholder value.

 

The Reporting Persons plan to continuously evaluate, among other factors, the financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects of the Corporation, the securities markets in general and the market for the Common Stock in particular, prevailing economic conditions and expected trends, all with a view to determining whether to hold, decrease or increase their investment in the Common Stock, through open market, privately negotiated or any other transactions.

 

The Reporting Persons have had and may continue to have discussions with the Corporation’s management team and Board of Directors (the “Board”), and may have discussions with other representatives of the Corporation, other shareholders or potential shareholders of the Corporation, potential acquirers, service providers, and financing sources, and/or other third parties regarding the Corporation, including but not limited to its operations, strategy, management, ownership, capital structure and the strategic alternatives that may be available to the Corporation.

 

Such discussions may concern ideas or proposals that, if effected, may result in one or more of the events described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including but not limited to the acquisition or disposition by the Reporting Persons or other persons of shares of Common Stock, changing operating or market strategies of the Corporation, changes to the Corporation’s governing documents, the adoption or elimination by the Corporation of certain types of anti-takeover measures, revisions to the Corporation’s capitalization or dividend policy, extraordinary corporate transactions involving the Corporation or subsidiaries of the Corporation, and/or further changes in the Board or management of the Corporation.

 

On December 11, 2019, Mr. Roller met with Mark Goldstein, the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the Board, and Kevin Paprzycki, the Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board, and discussed, among other things, potential further changes in the Board, including, but not limited to, the Reporting Persons suggesting additional qualified people for appointment to the Board and/or the possibility of Mr. Roller being appointed to the Board.

 

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
