This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”) originally filed by the Reporting Person on July 13, 2020, and relates to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The information set forth in Item 6 hereof is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Reporting Person, through MKC, sold 419,382 shares of Common Stock in multiple open-market trades for an aggregate of $241,961 in December 2022, and transferred 90,287 shares of Common Stock in July 2020. Additionally, through TKG, the Reporting Person donated 150,000 shares of Common Stock in July 2021, and sold 928,984 shares of Common Stock in multiple transactions for an aggregate of $550,503 in November and December 2022.

 

In addition to the transactions reported in this Amendment No. 1, an increase in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, had the effect of decreasing the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership by greater than 1% of the outstanding shares from that which was previously reported.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

(a)-(b)

The responses of the Reporting Person to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover page of this Schedule 13D, as of February 13, 2023, are incorporated herein by reference. As of February 13, 2023, the Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of 1,018,742 shares of Common Stock, which represents 0.8% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (based on 121,305,086 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 10, 2022, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 14, 2022). The foregoing represents 928,455 shares held through MKA, which represents a proportion of the number of shares held by HOF Village for which HOF Village generally has agreed to pass-through its voting rights to its members (including MKA) in proportion to their respective ownership interests (approximately 6.18% in the case of MKA) and for which Mr. Klein shares voting power and has no dispositive power. The foregoing excludes shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by HOF Village because the Reporting Person has no right to cause the exercise of such warrants. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the foregoing, except to the extent of the Reporting Person’s pecuniary interest.

 

(c)

During the past 60 days the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Common Stock.

 

(d)

Not applicable.

 

(e)

Not applicable.

 

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth in Items 2, 3 and 4 hereof is incorporated by reference herein.

 

As previously disclosed by the Issuer, on September 4, 2020, Mr. Klein resigned from the Board of Directors of the Issuer due to other professional and personal obligations requiring significant time and attention, including his membership on other boards.

 

Item 7.

Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

Not applicable.
