ITEM 1. Security and Issuer
Common stock of Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. ("the company"), 4880 Havana
Street, Denver, CO 80239.
ITEM 2. Identity and Background
The reporting person, Timothy J. Stabosz, 1307 Monroe Street, LaPorte, IN
46350, a natural person and United States citizen, is engaged as a private
investor. He has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or other similar misdemeanors) in the last 5 years, and has
not been a party to any proceedings, or subject to any judgements, enjoinments,
decrees, et al., related to violations of state or federal securities laws, in
his lifetime.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Personal funds in the aggregate amount of $141,314.78 have been used to
effect the purchases. No part of the purchase price represents borrowed funds.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction
The reporting person believes he is the largest outside shareholder of
Scott's Liquid Gold. He has acquired the shares for investment purposes.
Under the current CEO, Mr. Goldstein, who ascended to the top executive
position in August of 1990, sales of the signature Scott's Liquid Gold household
product line have been thoroughly decimated, peaking at $22.5 million in 1992,
and plunging to $4.9 million in 2012...a staggering 78% decline. (Adjusted for
inflation, as measured by the CPI, the decline is a mind numbing 87%.) Mr.
Goldstein has, by any honest measure, ravaged and destroyed the company's
namesake, 60 year old brand...with no chagrin or accountability. Moreover, a
do-nothing board, subjugated to Mr. Goldstein's will, has, astonishingly, looked
the other way, allowing Goldstein to continue to "cannibalize" the company, for
the sake of the founding family scion's $400K annual employment sinecure. The
reporting person believes the board has breached its fiduciary responsibility,
by making Mark Goldstein's continued employment as CEO a "given," merely because
the board is too timid and cowardly to "hurt Mr. Goldstein's feelings," and
because the board's primary loyalty, collectively, is to the Goldstein family.
The board has, therefore, countenanced the virtual destruction of a once great
brand, hiding behind the "business judgement rule," and facilitating the
maintenance of Mr. Goldstein's outrageous 22 year record of wanton value
destruction, incompetence, nepotism, cronyism, and self-entrenchment.
Because of the above, the reporting person has made a number of proposals,
as indicated in his previous 13D filings. He has asked the company to put
itself up for sale. He has asked the company to make a broad-based tender offer
to all of the shareholders, at 50 cents per share, that want a "divorce" from
Mr. Goldstein's imperious control of SLGD. He has offered to buy out Mr.
Goldstein's interest at 50 cents a share. And he has demanded that, if the
board insists on continuing to kowtow to Mr. Goldstein and keep him in charge,
that the board require Goldstein to raise the capital to take the company
private, at a fair price.
The reporting person intends to review his investment in the company on a
continual basis and engage in discussions with management and the Board of
Directors concerning the governance, business, operations, and future plans of
the company. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the
company's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the
common stock, conditions in the securities markets, and general economic and
industry conditions, the reporting person may, in the future, take such
actions with respect to his investment in the company as he deems appropriate
including, without limitation, communicating with other stockholders, seeking
Board representation, making proposals to the company concerning the
capitalization and operations of the issuer, purchasing additional shares of
common stock or selling some or all of his shares, or changing his intention
with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
Other than as indicated in this and previous 13D filings, the reporting
person has no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any
matters referred to in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
As of the close of business on June 14, 2013, the reporting person has sole
voting and dispositive power over 616,662 shares of Scott's Liquid Gold, Inc.'s
common stock. According to the company's 1st quarter 2013 Form 10-Q, as of May
13, 2013 there were 11,201,622 common shares outstanding. The reporting person
is therefore deemed to own 5.5% of the company's common stock. Transactions
effected by the reporting person, since the previous 13D Amendment #5, were
performed in ordinary brokerage transactions, and are indicated as follows:
06/14/13 sold 190,000 shares @ $.45
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
None
ITEM 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits
None
