AMENDMENT NO. 16 TO 13D

This Amendment No. 16 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock& #x201D;), of Standard Diversified Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment is being filed by each of the Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D (the “Initial Schedule 13D”) that was originally filed on October 29, 2015 and amended on December 21, 2015, March 2, 2016, September 27, 2016, November 25, 2016, June 5, 2017, June 26, 2017, December 4, 2017, January 5, 2018, June 19, 2018,  September 7, 2018, September 14, 2018, December 11, 2018, February 15, 2019, March 7, 2019 and November 19, 2019 and by this Amendment (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used therein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Item 5 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) and (b)  See Items 7-11 of the cover pages and Item 2 of the Schedule 13D.

(c)  On July 13, 2020, the Reporting Persons sold 1,416,556 shares of Class B Common Stock to the Issuer at a price of $12.054 per share.

The percentages reported herein are based on a statement by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 4, 2020, that there were 8,884,183 shares of Class A Common Stock and 7,699,124 shares of Class B outstanding as of April 29, 2020.

As shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the election of the holder, each Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership is reported herein as if that Reporting Person (and no other shareholder) elected to convert all shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person into shares of Class A Common Stock.  In addition, beneficial ownership of shares of such Class B Common Stock are reported as if such shares were not so converted.

(d)  Not applicable.

(e)  Not applicable.
