SCHEDULE 13D/A16

 

This constitutes Amendment No. 16 (the “Amendment No. 16”) to the statement on Schedule 13D filed on behalf of Karen Singer, dated and filed December 15, 2017 (as amended, the “Statement”), relating to 2,075,359 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (the “Issuer”). Unless specifically amended or modified hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Statement shall remain unchanged.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

 

The purpose of this Amendment is to report that, since the filing of the Statement, dated January 8, 2021, a material change occurred in the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. This Amendment No. 16 is the final amendment to the Statement and constitutes an exit filing as the Reporting Person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5 percent of the referenced class of securities.

The Reporting Person reserves the right to change plans and take any and all actions that the Reporting Person may deem appropriate to maximize the value of her investments, including, among other things, purchasing or otherwise acquiring additional securities of the Issuer, selling or otherwise disposing of any securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by her, in each case in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, or formulating other plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or its securities to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Person in light of her general investment policies, market conditions, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer and the general business and future prospects of the Issuer. The Reporting Person may take any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s debt or equity securities in any manner permitted by applicable law.
