This Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the Items set forth below of the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D, originally filed by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons (as defined in the Schedule 13D) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2013, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 24, 2014 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share of GlyEco, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”) with its principal executive offices located at 4802 East Ray Road, Suite 23-196, Phoenix, Arizona 85044. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The securities reported in this Schedule 13D as directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of approximately $2,943,381.61 (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from the working capital or personal funds of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons who directly beneficially own such securities.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a), (b) and (c). As of March 10, 2014, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 4,091,989 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 8.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which shares are comprised of 2,966,989 shares of Common Stock and 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Wynnefield Reporting Persons upon the exercise of presently exercisable warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock having an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 49,900,906 shares outstanding, which consists of (i) 48,775,906 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 13, 2013, as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 18, 2013; and (ii) 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons listed below:
Name | Number of Common Stock | Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock |
Wynnenfield Partners I | 1,948,122 (includes 531,225 Warrants) | 4.0% |
Wynnefield Partners | 1,228,375 (includes 338,738 Warrants) | 2.5% |
Wynnefield Offshore | 915,492 (includes 255,037 Warrants) | 1.9% |
WCM is the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, shares the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own.
WCI is the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. WCI, as the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. Messrs. Obus and Landes are executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes, as executive officers of WCI, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own.
Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Schedule 13D for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) in the aggregate 4,091,989 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 8.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which shares are comprised of 2,966,989 shares of Common Stock and 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Wynnefield Reporting Persons upon the exercise of presently exercisable warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock having an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 49,900,906 shares outstanding, which consists of (i) 48,775,906 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 13, 2013, as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, filed with the Commission on November 18, 2013; and (ii) 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons.
The filing of this Schedule 13D and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. Each of WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares covered by this Schedule 13D.
