AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D
 

This Amendment No. 1 to the statement on Schedule 13D is being amended to reflect the fact that the Reporting Persons are no longer the beneficial owner of 5% of the outstanding Series A Common Stock of the Issuer. Reference is hereby made to the statement of Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 22, 2019. Terms defined in the Schedule 13D, as previously amended, are used herein as so defined.


The Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

 

 
Item 1
Security and Issuer
 
   
This statement relates to the Series A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of A. H. Belo Corporation, a Texas corporation (the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at P.O. Box 224866, Dallas, Texas 75222-4866.
 
   
 
   
Item 3
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
   

The securities reported in this statment as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of $5,739,352.46 (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from the working capital of Minerva Advisors and Minerva Group, except for the shares owned individually by Mr. Cohen which were acquired with personal funds. Minerva Group's working capital consists of investment funds consisting of capital contributions from its partners and investors and capital appreciation derived therefrom for the principal purpose of buying and selling securities. Minerva Advisor's working capital consists of investment funds held in its separately managed accounts for the purpose of buying and selling securities.

 
   
 
   
Item 5
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
   

(a) Under the definition of "beneficial ownership" as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own collectively an aggregate of 917,292 shares of Common Stock, representing 4.8% of the 18,941,340 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 6, 2020 (according to the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2019 filed with the SEC).  The Reporting Persons other than Minerva Advisors, Minerva Group and Mr. Cohen each expressly disclaim beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Common Stock held by each of those Reporting Persons; Minerva Advisors expressly disclaims beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Common Stock held by Minerva Group and Mr. Cohen; Minerva Group expressly disclaims beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Common Stock held by Minerva Advisors and Mr. Cohen; and Mr. Cohen expressly disclaims beneficial ownership for all purposes of the Common Stock held by Minerva Advisors and Minerva Group.

(b) Minerva Group is a private fund managed by Minerva Advisors.  Minerva Group is the beneficial owner of, and has sole voting and dispositive power over, 594,605 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 3.1% of the outstanding Common Stock.  Minerva Advisors, as the investment adviser to Minerva Group, Minerva GP, as the general partner of Minerva Group, Minerva Inc, as the general partner of Minerva GP, and Mr. Cohen, as President and sole Member of Minerva Inc, may each be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock held by Minerva Group.

Minerva Advisors also acts as investment advisor to individually managed accounts.  Its investment advisory contracts grant Minerva Advisors shared investment power and voting power over the securities owned by its advisory clients.  Accordingly, Minerva Advisors may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, and have shared voting and dispositive power over, 320,087 shares of Common Stock, representing 1.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Mr. Cohen, as President and sole Member of Minerva Advisors, may also be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, to be the beneficial owner of all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Minerva Advisors.

Mr. Cohen is the beneficial owner of, and has sole voting and dispositive power over, 2,600 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.01% of the outstanding Common Stock. 

(c) During the sixty-day period preceding the date this statement was filed, the following shares of Common Stock were transferred out of accounts: 7,027 shares of Common Stock on March 3, 2020.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities reported in this statement, except for the beneficial owners of the accounts managed by Minerva Advisors, with respect to the shares in the respective managed accounts.

(e) As of April 21, 2020, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
