Item 3.                                                         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

 

The first paragraph of Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.                                                         Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

 

On November 27, 2015, the Issuer sold 4,393,055 Class A Shares (the “Shares”) to GSI, which at the time was the Issuer’s 93.9% owned subsidiary, at a price of $34.1448 per Share.  The sale was made in advance of the spin-off of ACG from the Issuer on November 30, 2015, pursuant to which the Issuer transferred to ACG its alternative investment management business, its institutional research services business and certain cash and other assets (the “Spin-Off”).  GSI paid the purchase price by issuing a note to the Issuer in the principal amount of $149,999,984.36 (the “GSI Note”).  The Issuer contributed the GSI Note to ACG and GSI became a majority-owned subsidiary of ACG as of November 30, 2015 in connection with the completion of the Spin-Off.  Due to his control of ACG, Mario Gabelli may be deemed to beneficially own the Class A Shares held by GSI.  The purpose of the sale of Shares was to possibly provide capital to ACG through the subsequent sale of the Shares.

 

On February 5, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) adopted a resolution permitting GGCP or its shareholders to exchange an additional 1,200,000 of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock (“Class B Shares”) of the Issuer for an equal number of shares of Class A Shares of the Issuer as long as there are sufficient authorized but unissued Class A Shares unreserved for

 

7



 

issuance.  As a result of the above transaction, as of December 1, 2015, a total of 772,618 Class A Shares remain available to be issued upon exchange of 772,618 Class B Shares (the “Convertible Class B Shares”) by Mario Gabelli, GGCP Holdings, GGCP, or GGCP’s shareholders.  The Class A Shares and the Class B Shares are identical in all respects except that holders of the Class A Shares are entitled to one vote per share and holders of the Class B Shares are entitled to ten votes per share.

 

Mario Gabelli serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.  As disclosed in Item 1 above, Mario Gabelli is also deemed to be the control person of the Issuer.  Because of the foregoing, the Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time in the ordinary course of performing their roles relating to the Issuer or as investors in the Issuer may propose or take action in relation to the business of the Issuer including: changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; the business and operations of the Issuer; share repurchases by the Issuer; distributions by the Issuer, including the amounts, makeup and timing thereof; the terms of any new issuances of an existing or new class of securities by the Issuer; sales of assets; changes in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; and any such other matters.  Any such proposals or actions by the Reporting Persons may be based on the Reporting Persons’ views of their best interest, their obligations to the Issuer (to the extent required by applicable law or agreement), and other factors in light of (i) the Issuer’s financial position, future actions taken by the Board, price levels of the common stock or other equity or debt securities of the Issuer and (ii) general economic, political, or industry conditions, including conditions in the securities market, or changes in laws, rules, regulations or customs, and any other conditions or changes thereto, in the Reporting Persons’ sole determination.  In as much as none of these proposals or activities would represent a material change in the plans of the Reporting Persons regarding their control over the Issuer, the Reporting Persons will not file amendments to this Schedule 13D reflective thereof.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending on various factors the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their investment decision, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, the price levels of the Issuer’s common stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may decide to acquire additional securities, sell some or all of their securities, or to continue to hold their existing position in the securities for investment.

 

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which related to or would result in any transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.                                                         Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

 

(a)                                 The information relating to the beneficial ownership of Class A Shares by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference. The percentages set forth in Row 13 for all cover pages filed herewith are calculated based upon 10,638,507 Class A Shares outstanding as of December 1, 2015, as provided by the Issuer.  In addition, the information relating to the beneficial ownership

 

8



of Class A Shares by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto assumes the conversion of the 772,618 Convertible Class B Shares into Class A Shares by GGCP Holdings. Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities owned beneficially by each of the Reporting Persons.  GGCP is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities owned beneficially by GGCP Holdings and GSI.

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares by each of the Reporting Persons.  However, this table ignores the fact that the 772,618 Convertible Class B Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares so as to reflect the total voting power of the Reporting Persons, as the Class B Shares have ten votes per share and the Class A Shares have only one vote per share.  The percentages of beneficial ownership below are based upon 10,638,507 Class A Shares and 19,196,792 Class B Shares outstanding as December 1, 2015, as provided by the Issuer.
