This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 2020, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of KVH Industries, Inc. (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

Consistent with recent discussions with the Issuer, Vintage Capital has determined to effect a distribution of all of the shares of Common Stock owned thereby to the investors thereof (the “Distribution”).  After giving effect to the Distribution, Vintage Capital and Kahn Capital shall cease to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock, although the principals of Vintage Capital will continue to beneficially own less than 3% of the Common Stock.  Vintage Capital determined to effect the Distribution to allow its principals to focus solely on opportunities with Franchise Group Inc. Vintage Capital noted that Robert Tavares, who became a member of the Board in connection with the execution of the Cooperation Agreement, is not and has never been an employee of or affiliated with Vintage Capital and does not have a direct or indirect ownership interest in any of the shares of Common Stock held and to be distributed by Vintage Capital.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a)      and (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated by reference. After giving effect to the Distribution, Brian Kahn will personally beneficially own 390,050 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 2.08% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. After giving effect to the Distribution, the other Reporting Persons will not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock. The percentage in this paragraph relating to beneficial ownership of Common Stock is based on 18,754,341 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 21, 2021 as reported by the Issuer in its definitive proxy statement in respect of the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

(c)       Except as disclosed herein, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the last 60 days.

 

(d)       No other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock covered by this Statement.

 

(e)      Effective upon the completion of the Distribution, the Reporting Persons shall cease to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock.
