This Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of Standard Diversified Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed by each of the Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) that was originally filed on October 29, 2015 and amended on December 21, 2015, March 2, 2016, September 27, 2016, November 25, 2016, June 5, 2017, June 26, 2017, December 4, 2017, January 5, 2018 and June 19, 2018 and by this Amendment (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used therein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

(a) and (b)  See Items 7-13 of the cover pages and Item 2 of the Schedule 13D.

The percentage calculations herein are based upon the statement in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2018, that there were 8,719,960 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and 7,915,302 outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer as of August 8, 2018.

As shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the election of the holder, each Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership is reported herein as if that Reporting Person (and no other shareholder) elected to convert all shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person into shares of Class A Common Stock.  In addition, beneficial ownership of shares of such Class B Common Stock are reported as if such shares were not so converted.

(c)  The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.  The following table lists the Reporting Persons’ transactions in the Issuer’s securities, in addition to the transaction described in Item 4, that were effected during the sixty day period prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D and that have not been previously reported in the Schedule 13D:
