AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO
SCHEDULE 13D
The following information amends and supplements the information contained in the Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2020 and thereafter amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on October 1, 2020, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on February 1, 2021, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on April 9, 2021 and Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on July 1, 2021 (collectively, the “Statement”) relating to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of AMPCO-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Issuer”) by (i) L. W. Van Loan Trust dated September 8, 2006, a trust formed under the laws of the state of Ohio (the “Trust”), (ii) Edward F. Crawford, an individual and trustee of the Trust (“Mr. Edward Crawford”) and (iii) Crawford United Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Crawford United”). The Trust, Mr. Edward Crawford and Crawford United are hereinafter referred to as the “Reporting Persons” and each, individually, as a “Reporting Person.” Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 5, the Statement remains in full force and effect. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings given to them in the Statement.
The purpose of this final Amendment No. 5 is to update the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership information to reflect that, as a result of cumulative dispositions of shares of the Issuer since the filing date of the last amendment to the Statement, the amount of shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons has decreased below the 5% threshold for further reporting on Schedule 13D.

Item 5. |

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated, in its entirety, as follows:
The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
As the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be acting in concert with respect to the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities of the Issuer collectively beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
The aggregate number of Shares to which this Schedule 13D relates is 986,580 shares of Common Stock, representing 4.9% of the 20,170,193 shares of the Issuer’s common stock currently outstanding (calculated by adding the number of outstanding shares reported in the Issuer’s most recently filed Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 (19,865,749) to the number of shares (304,444) issuable to the Trust upon exercise of the Series A warrants issued to the Trust in the rights offering). If unexercised Series A warrants held by the Trust are excluded from the foregoing calculation, the aggregate number of Shares owned by the Reporting Persons is 682,136, representing 3.4% of the outstanding shares of common stock.
The Reporting Persons beneficially own securities as follows:
