EXPLANATORY NOTE

This statement amends and restates the Schedule 13D originally filed on July 11, 2016. Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. All items not supplemented in this Amendment remain unchanged from the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement relates to 246,445 shares (the Issued Shares) of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), of Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (the Issuer), and a warrant (the $2.50 Warrant) to purchase an additional 125,000 shares (the Warrant Shares) of Common Stock exercisable for five years beginning December 30, 2016, at a per share price of $20.00. The Issued Shares were acquired on November 7, 2016, upon exercise of two warrants (the $0.25 Warrants and together with the $2.50 Warrant, the Warrants): one exercisable for up to 125,000 shares of Common Stock and another exercisable for up to 218,750 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants were acquired from the Issuer as partial consideration under the Master Credit Facility, dated as of June 30 2016, among the Fund, the Issuer and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer (the Master Credit Facility) which provides for a revolving credit facility to the Issuer. The number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants were exercisable was adjusted for a 1-for-8 reverse split of the Common Stock on September 27, 2016. 97,305 of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the $0.25 Warrants were repurchased by the Issuer on November 7, 2016, pursuant to a partial issuer tender offer. The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 801 W. Adams Street, Suite 600, Chicago, Illinois 60607.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The Fund acquired the Warrants and the Issued Shares in the belief that the Common Stock is undervalued.

On June 30, 2016, the Fund and the Issuer entered into the Master Credit Facility pursuant to which the Fund extended a line of credit to the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries (the Loan). Concurrently, the Fund and the Issuer entered into a Board Representation Agreement (the Board Agreement) pursuant to which the Fund was granted the right to nominate persons to serve as directors of the Issuer and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the Issuer agreed to recommend such nominees to the Issuers stockholders for election to the Issuers Board. In addition, the Reporting Persons had the right to provide information on other qualified Board candidates who could be considered for Board representation based upon the Issuers standard policies for the election of Board members as set forth in its annual Proxy Statement.

On November 7, 2016, the Issuer repaid the Loan in full. Concurrent with the repayment of the Loan, the Master Credit Facility and the Board Agreement were terminated.

The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time: (i) acquire additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, instruments or other securities, if any, of the Issuer or its affiliates in the open market or otherwise; (ii) dispose of any or all of their Warrants, the Issued Shares or other shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrants in the open market or otherwise; or (iii) engage in any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Warrants, the Issued Shares or other shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrants.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate 371,445 shares of Common Stock (the Aggregate Shares), representing approximately 9.9% of the Issuers outstanding capital stock based upon the 3,622,851 shares of the Issuers Common Stock stated to be outstanding as of November 9, 2016, in the Issuers Form 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2016.

The Fund has the right to require the Issuer to register any shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrants (the Warrant Shares) with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the Issuer is registering other shares of Common Stock or if it is eligible to register shares of Common Stock on Form S-3, in each case subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

The Partners, by virtue of their relationship to the Fund, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the Aggregate Shares. The Partners disclaim beneficial ownership of the Aggregate Shares for all other purposes.

The Fund has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to the Aggregate Shares. The Partners have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to the Aggregate Shares.

The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Aggregate Shares effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Reporting Persons. Except as otherwise noted below, all such transactions were effected in the open market, and the table includes commissions paid in per share prices.
