The Statement on Schedule 13D filed on January 3, 2012 by FCMI Parent Co. (“FCMI”), Albert D. Friedberg and the Nancy Friedberg Family Trust, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed June 13, 2012, Amendment No. 2 filed June 27, 2012, Amendment No. 3 filed March 10, 2014, Amendment No. 4 filed September 9, 2014, Amendment No. 5 filed February 4, 2015 by FCMI and Mr. Friedberg, Amendment No. 6 filed February 10, 2015, Amendment No. 7 filed May 21, 2015, Amendment No. 8 filed February 12, 2016, Amendment No. 9 filed November 1, 2016, Amendment No. 10 filed July 17, 2017, Amendment No. 11 filed February 28, 2018, Amendment No. 12 filed November 21, 2018 and Amendment No. 13 filed October 2, 2019 (as so amended, the “Statement”), relating to the common stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”) of Gold Standard Ventures Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Issuer”), is hereby further amended with respect to the matters set forth below in this Amendment No. 14. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Statement.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

On the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 14), the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners of a total of 27,161,401 shares of Common Stock, constituting 7.59% of the outstanding Common Stock. All shares beneficially owned by the Filing Persons are presently outstanding and are owned directly by FCMI. Mr. Friedberg, through his control over FCMI shares held by members of his family and trusts for the benefit of members of his family, may be considered the beneficial owner of all of the Common Stock owned by FCMI. Except for such beneficial ownership by Mr. Friedberg, none of the directors or officers of FCMI beneficially owns any Common Stock.

 

The beneficial ownership percentage of the Filing Persons has been calculated as a percentage of 357,970,251 shares of Common Stock outstanding at August 4, 2021, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the Filing Persons’ beneficial ownership from 11.0% of the outstanding Common Stock, as most recently reported by the Filing Persons in their Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 13), to 7.59% of the outstanding Common Stock, as set forth herein, results from a combination of sales of shares of Common Stock in 2019 and 2020 and from a higher total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 14). None of the Filing Persons, and none of the officers or directors of FCMI, has effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the 60 days preceding the filing of this Amendment No. 14.
