AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO

SCHEDULE 13D

 

The following information amends and supplements the information contained in the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2020 and thereafter amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on October 1, 2020 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on February 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Statement”) relating to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share of AMPCO-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Issuer”) by (i) L. W. Van Loan Trust dated September 8, 2006, a trust formed under the laws of the state of Ohio (the “Trust”), (ii) Edward F. Crawford, an individual and trustee of the Trust (“Mr. Edward Crawford”) and (iii) Crawford United Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Crawford United”). The Trust, Mr. Edward Crawford and Crawford United are hereinafter referred to as the “Reporting Persons” and each, individually, as a “Reporting Person.” Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 3, the Statement remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings given to them in the Statement.

 

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated, in its entirety, as follows:

 

The source of the consideration for the Trust’s purchase of the Common Stock reported hereon consisted of personal funds of the Trust. The amount of the funds used by the Trust is described in Item 5.

 

The source of the consideration for Crawford United’s purchase of the Common Stock reported hereon consisted of working capital of Crawford United. The amount of the funds used by Crawford United is described in Item 5.

 

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

 

Item 4 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:

 

“References in Item 5 of Amendment No. 1 to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants purchased in the Issuer’s rights offering by the Trust should read 304,444 shares (rather than 681,999, which was an error).

 

Notwithstanding the information set forth in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC March 26, 2021, the Reporting Persons have determined to not at this time solicit or cause to be solicited on their behalf proxies with respect to voting shares of the Issuer’s other shareholders in connection with the Issuer’s 2021 annual meeting, scheduled to occur May 13, 2021. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to vote their own shares in any manner they see fit at their sole discretion.”

 

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated, in its entirety, as follows:

 

The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

As the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be acting in concert with respect to the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities of the Issuer collectively beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

The aggregate number of Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates is 1,405,888 shares of common stock, representing 7.34% of the 19,152,272 shares of the Issuer’s common stock currently outstanding (calculated by adding the number of outstanding shares reported in the Issuer’s most recently filed Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020 (18,847,828) to the number of shares (304,444) issuable to the Trust upon exercise of the Series A warrants issued to the Trust in the rights offering). If unexercised Series A warrants held by the Trust are excluded from the foregoing calculation, the aggregate number of Shares owned by the Reporting Persons is 1,101,444, representing 5.84% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The Reporting Persons beneficially own securities as follows:
