This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of American Apparel, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”).  This Amendment is being filed by each of the Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) which was originally filed on July 7, 2014 and amended on July 11, 2014, July 18, 2014 and August 19, 2015.  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

As described by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 8, 2015 (the “Company’s 8-K”), on October 4, 2015,the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with parties (the “Supporting Parties”), including Standard General L.P., Standard General Master Fund L.P. and P Standard General Ltd., that own or control 95% of the Company’s 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and collectively comprise 100% of the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2015.  Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Supporting Parties have agreed to support a financial reorganization of the Company and certain of its domesticsubsidiaries consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement.  The Company’s 8-K describes material terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, including that holders of Senior Secured Notes will receive on a pro rata basis 100% of the equity membership interests in the Company as reorganized after the conclusion of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

On October 4, 2015, the Company and the Supporting Parties, as lenders, also entered into a Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) to provide the Company debtor-in-possession financing for working capital and other purposes.  In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Court approved the DIP Credit Agreement on October 6, 2015 on an interim basis.  Material terms of the DIP Credit Agreement are described in the Company’s 8-K.  On October 4, 2015, the Company and the Supporting Parties entered into an Equity Commitment Agreement (the “Equity Commitment Agreement”) under which the Supporting Parties agreed to purchase additional equity interests in the reorganized Company.  The Company’s 8-K describes material terms of the DIP Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the DIP Credit Agreement and the Equity Commitment Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
