SCHEDULE 13D/A
 
This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and restates (where indicated) the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on February 28, 2018, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on March 1, 2018, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on April 6, 2018, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on June 8, 2018 and Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on June 3, 2019 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

This Amendment is being filed to report a Voting Agreement (defined below) with respect to securities of Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), beneficially owned by certain of the Reporting Persons (defined below). The Voting Agreement is not a purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer and has no effect on the overall number of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Additionally, the Issuer and the Stockholders have made certain limited covenants, including a covenant by the Stockholders to not dispose of or encumber any shares of Common Stock during this period.
