Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2016, as amended on January 3, 2017 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons hereby amend and supplement the Schedule 13D as follows.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,465,499 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is approximately $5,394,538.35, not including brokerage commissions, which was funded with working capital of the Reporting Persons. Privet Fund LP effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules, and the prime brokers’ credit policies.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Items 5(a), 5(c) and 5(e) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

 

(a) As of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,465,499 Shares, or approximately 2.3%, of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation (calculated based on information included in the Form 10-K filed by the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2018 which reported that 62,645,515 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of February 22, 2019).

 

Privet Fund Management, as the general partner and investment manager of Privet Fund and the investment manager of the Privet Fund Account, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,465,499 Shares owned in the aggregate by Privet Fund and Privet Fund Management and held in the Privet Fund Account, constituting approximately 2.3% of the Shares outstanding. Mr. Levenson, as the managing member of Privet Fund Management, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,465,499 Shares owned in the aggregate by Privet Fund and Privet Fund Management.

 

Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

 

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, by any of the other persons named in response to Item 2, if any.

 

(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation on February 22, 2019.
