Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 10 amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 1, 2015 and as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 9, 2015, Amendment No. 2 filed on September 15, 2016, Amendment No. 3 filed on November 22, 2016, Amendment No. 4 filed on July 10, 2017, Amendment No. 5 filed on November 1, 2017, Amendment No. 6 filed on January 3, 2018, Amendment No. 7 filed on July 25, 2018, Amendment No. 8 filed on March 12, 2019, and Amendment No. 9 filed on August 22, 2019 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons (as defined in the Schedule 13D) with respect to shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of MusclePharm Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive office are located at 4400 Vanowen St., Burbank, CA, 91505. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings 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 $5,868,710 (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:
The Wynnefield Reporting Persons continue to be concerned with the degree by which the Issuer has failed to fulfill its periodic reporting obligations mandated by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder.
The Issuer has previously disclosed that the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as contained in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “9/30/2018 10-Q”), “should no longer be relied upon due to material errors” and that the Issuer will need to restate such financial statements. The Issuer has also disclosed that it will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 10-K”), or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2019, until after the filing of the restated 9/30/2018 10-Q. As of the date of the filing of this Schedule 13D, the Issuer has failed to file with the Commission its restated 9/30/2018 10-Q, the 2018 10-K, nor any of its period reports for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.
The Wynnefield Reporting Persons intend to explore with management what is causing the extended delay in issuing its current financial statements. In past discussions with the Issuer’s management they have expressed support for their outside shareholders so the Wynnefield Reporting Persons are optimistic that the outstanding financial statements can be filed with the Commission in the near future or that the Issuer will provide the outside shareholders with an explanation for this lengthy delay.
No Wynnefield Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons have had and anticipate having further discussions with management and the Board of the Issuer relating to the Issuer’s underperformance, overall business strategy, corporate governance, management accountability, capital allocation, and the evaluation of strategic alternatives. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the securities of the Issuer, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the Board, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Wynnefield Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional securities of the Issuer, selling some or all of such securities, entering into financial instruments or other agreements that increase or decrease the Wynnefield Reporting Persons’ economic or beneficial exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the securities of the Issuer, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
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 July 13, 2020, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 2,011,905 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 6.2% 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 32,307,234 shares outstanding, which the Wynnefield Reporting Persons believe to be the number of shares outstanding as of July 13, 2020.
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 |
| Wynnefield Partners I | 782,986 | 2.4% |
| Wynnefield Partners | 569,827 | 1.8% |
| Wynnefield Offshore | 552,092 | 1.7% |
| Plan | 107,000 | 0.3% |

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 Wynnefield Profit Plan is an employee profit sharing plan. Mr. Obus and Mr. Landes are co-trustees of the Wynnefield Profit Plan and have the authority to direct the voting and the disposition of the shares of Common Stock that the Wynnefield Profit Plan beneficially owns. Accordingly, Mr. Obus and Mr. Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owners (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that the Wynnefield Profit Plan 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 2,011,905 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 6.2% 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 32,307,234 shares outstanding, which the Wynnefield Reporting Persons believe to be the number of shares outstanding as of July 13, 2020.
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.
The Wynnefield Reporting Persons have acquired shares of Common Stock during the last 60 days as follows:
| Name | Transaction | Date | Number of Shares | Price Per Share |
| Wynnefield Partners I | Purchase | 6/23/2020 | 45,360 | $0.19 |
| Wynnefield Partners | Purchase | 6/23/2020 | 30,240 | $0.19 |
