This Amendment is filed with respect to the shares of common stock, $.01 par value (the “Shares”) of ParkerVision, Inc. (“Issuer”) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons defined below as of August 11, 2022 and amends and supplements the Schedule 13G filed on July 16, 2013, as previously amended (collectively, the “Schedule 13G”). Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13G is unmodified.

 

The names of the persons filing this statement on this Schedule 13G (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) are Gem Partners, LP (“Gem Partners”), Flat Rock Partners LP (“Flat Rock”), Gem Investment Advisors, LLC (“Advisors”) and Daniel M. Lewis. Advisors is the general partner of Gem Partners and Flat Rock. Mr. Lewis is the managing member of Advisors. Gem Partners, Flat Rock, Advisors and Mr. Lewis expressly disclaim constituting a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Lewis personally.

 

Item 4.   Ownership

 

Item 4 is amended to add the following:

 

As of August 11, 2022, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 8,281,750 Shares, which includes, subject to the limitations described herein, Shares issuable upon conversion of a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $500,000, dated July 18, 2019 (the “2019 Note”) and a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $400,000, dated January 8, 2020 (the “2020 Note,” and together with the 2019 Note, the “Notes”).

 

Each of the 2019 Note and the 2020 Note provides a limitation on the conversion of such Note that the number of Shares that may be acquired by the holder of such Note upon conversion of such Note shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that following such conversion, the total number of Shares then beneficially owned by the holder of such Note does not (i) exceed, subject to the Issuer’s analysis of its “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and with the Issuer’s consent and approval, 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares (the “9.99% Blocker”); or (ii) at the request of the holder of the such Note exceed, subject to the Issuer’s analysis of its “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and with the Issuer’s consent and approval, 14.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares (the “14.99% Blocker”), such increase to be effective sixty-one (61) days after the Issuer grants such request.

 

Based on the foregoing limitations in each of the Notes, the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represent 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 78,587,349 Shares reported as being outstanding as of August 3, 2022 in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2022. The number of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons excludes, to the extent that the conversion of the Notes would be prohibited by the 9.99% Blocker, 5,013,874 shares of Common Stock.
