Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 6 (the "Amendment") amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 23, 2005, and as further amended on January 17, 2006, July 24, 2006, December 13, 2006, December 20, 2006 and June 29, 2007 (the "Schedule 13D") by Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P. (the "Partnership"), Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P. I (the "Partnership-I"), Wynnefield Small Cap Value Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the "Fund"), Wynnefield Capital Management, LLC ("WCM"), Wynnefield Capital, Inc. ("WCI"), Nelson Obus (“Mr. Obus”) and Joshua Landes (“Mr. Landes” and, collectively with Partnership, Partnership-I, Fund, WCM, and Mr. Obus, the "Wynnefield Group") with respect to shares of common stock, $0.10 par value (the “Common Stock”), of The Allied Defense Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices located at 8000 Towers Crescent Drive, Vienna, VA 22182 (the "Issuer"). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

 On August 23, 2010, representatives of the Wynnefield Group contacted several members of the Issuer's Board of Directors to express their objection to the proposed Plan of Dissolution - Proposal 2 to the Issuer's Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A dated July 27, 2010 (the "Proxy Statement") in connection with the Special Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on August 31, 2010 (the "Stockholders Meeting").

Among other things, Wynnefield objected to (i) the Issuer's intention to file a certificate of dissolution immediately following consummation of the proposed sale of all of the Issuer's assets to Chemring Group, PLC (if approved by stockholders at the Stockholders Meeting); (ii) closing the Issuer's stock transfer books upon filing of the certificate of dissolution, thereby preventing any further market transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock; and (iii) the Issuer's intention to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "34 Act").

After seeking the views of several other of the Issuer's institutional stockholders, the Wynnefield Group advised the Issuer of its intention to vote against the Plan of Dissolution, and that it would encourage other stockholders to do the same, unless the Issuer addressed the stockholders' concerns.

As a result of further discussions between the Wynnefield Group and the Issuer, the Issuer agreed to adjourn the stockholder vote on Proposal 2 - the Plan of Dissolution - for approximately 30 days to on or about September 30, 2010; refrain from filing a certificate of dissolution (in the event Proposal 2 is approved by stockholders) until at least August 31, 2011; and to continue to file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission required under the 34 Act.

On August 25, 2010, the Issuer filed a supplement to the  Proxy Statement reflecting these commitments.

The Wynnefield Group appreciates the support it has received from the Company's other institutional stockholders for its efforts to protect the interests of all stockholders.
