CUSIP No. 439913104

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment No. 6”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (as previously amended, the “Prior Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 6 amends the Prior Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein

 

Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 6, the Prior Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. The information set forth in response to each separate Item shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.

 

The following Items of the Prior Schedule 13D are amended as follows:

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the disclosure below. In addition, all amounts relating to Common Stock (as defined below) appearing in the Prior Schedule 13D’s Item 4 shall be deemed adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) on August 1, 2024.

 

On August 1, 2024, Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation (the “Company”), formerly known as “Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc.,” completed its previously announced merger in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 19, 2023, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 10, 2024 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Scott’s”), Horizon Kinetics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Horizon Kinetics”), and HKNY One, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Scott’s (“Merger Sub”). In accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Horizon Kinetics, with Horizon Kinetics surviving the merger as a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). One purpose of the Reverse Stock Split was to make available a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance as merger consideration to the members of Horizon Kinetics.

 

In the Merger, all of the ownership interests in Horizon Kinetics were converted into an aggregate of 17,984,253 shares of Common Stock (representing 96.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the effective time of the Merger). These shares were issued to the members of Horizon Kinetics. As a result, immediately after the effective time of the Merger, Scott’s legacy shareholders collectively held approximately 3.5% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at such time, and the Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership percentage dropped below 5%.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Items 5(a), (b), (c) and (e) are hereby amended as follows:

 

The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 18,634,745 shares outstanding, as of August 1, 2024.

 

A.
