Amendment No. 6 to Statement on Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 6 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed by Kevork S. Hovnanian, the Kevork S. Hovnanian Family Limited Partnership, Sirwart Hovnanian and Peter S. Reinhart, as trustee of the Sirwart Hovnanian 1994 Marital Trust (the Marital Trust), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 1992, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 31, 1995, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 9, 2008, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 26, 2009, Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by Sirwart Hovnanian on February 24, 2016 and Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed by Sirwart Hovnanian on February 13, 2017 (as so amended, the Schedule 13D). For purposes of this Schedule 13D, the term Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock also include the Issuers preferred stock purchase rights to purchase, if such preferred stock purchase rights become exercisable, from the Issuer shares of Series B Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer issued in connection with the Rights Agreement, dated as of August 14, 2008, between the Issuer and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent, as amended. The Preferred Stock Purchase Rights currenty cannot trade separately from the underlying Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, respectively. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment is being filed to report that in connection with previous estate planning transfers, all of the Reporting Persons have ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 90 Matawan Road, 5th Floor, Matawan, NJ 07747.

Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer

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

(a)-(b). The answers to clauses (a) and (b) of Item 5 of Schedule 13D are set forth below for the Reporting Persons and for the managing General Partner of the Limited Partnership. The Class A Common Stock beneficial ownership figures include all shares of Class B Common Stock (which is convertible at any time to Class A Common Stock) beneficially owned by such parties. Each of the General Partners of the Limited Partnership other than Mr. Ara Hovnanian disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Limited Partnership and convertible at any time to Class A Common Stock as described in this Statement. Mr. Ara Hovnanian is the managing General Partner of the Limited Partnership and has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Limited Partnership.

1. Limited Partnership

(a) The Limited Partnership beneficially owns 193,353 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer (as adjusted for the 1-for-25 reverse stock split with respect to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that occurred on March 29, 2019), all of which represent shares of Class A Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of a like number of shares of Class B Common Stock. The shares beneficially owned represent approximately 3.3% of the shares of Class A Common Stock, based upon 5,595,610 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September 2, 2021, plus (for purposes of computing such percentage) the shares of Class A Common Stock receivable upon the conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock. Such beneficial ownership represents approximately 15.9% of the combined voting power of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

(b) The Limited Partnership has sole power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 193,353 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by it.

Barry, Lucy K. Kalian and Nadia K. Rodriguez (the Other Individual General Partners) and (iii) certain trusts for the benefit of each of the individuals listed in clauses (i) and (ii) and their families (such trusts, collectively, the 1994 Trusts). Ara K. Hovnanian and each of the Other Individual General Partners share voting and dispositive control over the shares of common stock held in each of their respective 1994 Trusts.

(a), (b) Current beneficial ownership information of Ara K. Hovnanian is set forth on Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D separately filed by Ara K. Hovnanian on or about the date of this filing, which is incorporated herein by reference, as such information may be updated by further amendments to Schedule 13D filed by Ara K. Hovnanian from time to time.

(c) There have been no transactions by any of the Limited Partnership, Sirwart Hovnanian or Peter S. Reinhart, as trustee of the Marital Trust within the past 60 days. Any transactions by Ara K. Hovnanian are being separately reported on a Schedule 13D filed by Ara K. Hovnanian on or about the date hereof.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On April 30, 2019, the Marital Trust ceased to be the managing general partner of the Limited Partnership, and as a result, Peter S. Reinhart, as trustee of the Marital Trust, ceased to be the beneficial owner of any shares of Class A Common Stock. On April 30, 2019, following certain estate planning transfers, Sirwart Hovnanian ceased to beneficially own any shares of Class A Common Stock. There have been no transactions by the Limited Partnership in shares of Class A Common Stock since the date of the last filing of Schedule 13D, however, as of June 8, 2012, the Limited Partnership ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.
