| Item 1. | Security and Issuer |
This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”) as amended
on June 9, 2022, August 15, 2022, and October 25, 2022 by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Common Stock of Gold Reserve Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent
that it is amended, restated, or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. All references in the Schedule 13D and this
Amendment to the “Statement” will be deemed to refer to the Schedule 13D as amended and supplemented by this Amendment.
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The Shares purchased by Camac Fund, LP (“Camac Fund”) and Camac Fund II, LP (“Camac Fund II”) were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage
firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 8,020,319 Shares beneficially owned by Camac Fund is approximately $13,230,222, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate
purchase price of the 7,386,180 Shares beneficially owned by Camac Fund II is approximately $9,930,517, including brokerage commissions.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer reported herein based on the Reporting Persons' belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and
represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase
or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to (i) increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in
private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the securities of the Issuer without affecting
their beneficial ownership of the Shares.
Except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any actions discussed herein, the Reporting Person does not have any present plan or proposal which would relate
to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. With respect to subparagraph (d) of Item 4, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer have, after discussion and negotiation, mutually executed a
Memorandum of Agreement on November 7, 2022, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto (the “Memorandum of Understanding”), pursuant to which the Issuer will, among other things, appoint to its Board of Directors (its “Board”) Mr. James Tunkey,
resulting in a change of the composition of Issuer’s Board. The Reporting Persons may, subject to the restrictions and limitations of the Reporting Persons set forth in the Memorandum of Agreement, (a) make or propose a corporate transaction, such
as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (b) propose a change in the Board or management of the Issuer; (c) solicit proxies from securityholders of the Issuer; (d) engage in communications with
one or more shareholders, officers or directors of the Issuer and other persons regarding any of the matters described above.
The Reporting Persons may, subject to the restrictions and limitations of the Reporting Persons set forth in the Memorandum of Agreement, at any time and from time to time, review
or reconsider their purpose and/or formulate new plans or proposals with respect thereto as it deems appropriate, depending on market conditions and other factors material to the Reporting Person’s investment decisions.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 99,547,710 shares of Common Stock
outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock reported outstanding as of the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 6-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2022.
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Camac Fund beneficially owned 8,020,319 shares of Common Stock and Camac Fund II beneficially owned
7,386,180 shares of Common Stock.
Percentage: Approximately 8.1% for Camac Fund and 7.4% for Camac Fund II.
(b) By virtue of their respective positions with Camac Fund and Camac Fund II, each of Camac Partners, Camac Capital, and Eric Shahinian may be deemed to have shared power to vote and
dispose of the Shares reported owned by Camac Fund.
(c) Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.
(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common
Stock.
(e) Not applicable.
