Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 1, 2016 (collectively the “Schedule 13D”) by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons (as defined in the Schedule 13D) with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of MVC Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer maintains its principal executive office at 287 Bowman Avenue, 2nd Floor, Purchase, NY 10577.

 

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 $15,935,340.00 (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 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

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

 

This Schedule 13D is filed by the Wynnefield Reporting Person to report acquisitions of shares of the Common Stock which increases its beneficial ownership (as such term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Common Stock of the Issuer by more than 1% from the amounts previously reported on Schedule 13D previously filed on June 1, 2016.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a), (b) and (c) As of May 1, 2017, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 1,870,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 8.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 22,556,412 shares outstanding as of March 13, 2017, as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 13, 2017.

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to shares of 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 662,168  2.9%
Wynnefield Partners 641,636   2.8%
Wynnefield Offsh ore 526,196  2.3%
Plan   40,000  0.2%

 

 

CUSIP No. 55382910213D/APage 10 of 14

 

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, share 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.

 

The Plan is an employee profit sharing plan. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-trustees of the Plan and accordingly, 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 shares of Common Stock that the Plan may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as the trustees of the Plan, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Plan.

 

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 1,870,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 8.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 22,556,412 shares outstanding as of March 13, 2017, set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2017 filed with the Commission on March 13, 2017.

 

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.
