SCHEDULE 13D

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) supplements and amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2024 (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by Auto Services Company, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“ASC”), ASC Holding Company, Inc. (“ASC Holding”), an Arkansas corporation, and Bradley L. Hasselwander (“Hasselwander”), an individual. Each of the foregoing is referred to herein as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” This Amendment relates to the Common Stock, par value $5.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated, a Virginia corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 3525 Fairystone Park Highway, Bassett, Virginia 24055.

 

All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

 

 

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

 

(a) and (b)  The information relating to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of each cover page hereto is incorporated by reference. ASC is the beneficial owner of 627,572 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 7.11% of outstanding Common Stock. Because it is the parent holding company of ASC, ASC Holding may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote, and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all shares beneficially owned by ASC. Because he is the controlling stockholder of ASC Holdings, Bradley L. Hasselwander may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote, and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all shares beneficially owned by ASC. The foregoing ownership percentage is calculated assuming a total of 8,828,751 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer are issued and outstanding, as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2024.

 

None of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed in Item 2(a)-(c) hereto beneficially owns any other securities of the Issuer.

 

(c)  Transactions by the Reporting Persons in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer since the filing of the Schedule 13D are as follows, all of which were effected and held by ASC through open market purchases:
