This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on October 5, 2012, as amended (the “Original Schedule”), by RVL 1 LLC (“RVL”), Aston Capital, LLC (“Aston”), Mr. Robert V. LaPenta, Mr. James A. DePalma, Mr. Robert V. LaPenta, Jr. and Mr. Robert A. Basil, Jr. (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) and is filed by and on behalf of the Reporting Persons with respect to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Revolution Lighting Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Original Schedule.

 

On March 10, 2016, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of its Common Stock. All share information included herein has been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split, as applicable.  

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The Information contained in Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D for each of the Reporting Persons, including all footnotes thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.

 

On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 2,775,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to an additional 416,250 shares of its Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On May 6, 2016, the Company closed on the Offering and sold a total of 3,191,250 shares of Common Stock (including the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the Underwriters of 416,250 shares of Common Stock) to the Underwriters. As a result of the Offering, the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock increased to 19,255,542 shares. On May 12, 2016, the Company made a grant of 250,000 shares of restricted stock to Aston under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended).

 

(a) RVL is the record holder of 8,245,386 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 42.3% of the total shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the filing date of this Schedule 13D (the “Filing Date”). The percentage ownership reported in this Schedule 13D is estimated based on 19,505,542 shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the Filing Date, based on information provided by the Issuer.

 

Aston, in its capacity as the managing member of RVL, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the 8,245,386 shares of Common Stock of which RVL is the record holder. Further, pursuant to a management services agreement with the Company, entered into on April 16, 2013 (the “Management Agreement”), Aston has received grants of 50,000 shares of restricted stock and 30,000 shares of restricted stock and 250,000 shares of restricted stock, on May 15, 2013, April 21, 2014 and May 12, 2016, respectively, under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended). Notwithstanding the vesting provisions of the restricted stock awards, Aston may exercise full voting rights with respect to the restricted shares, and thus all 330,000 shares of restricted stock are reportable under the beneficial ownership definition of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, as of the Filing Date, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Aston may be deemed to beneficially own 8,575,386 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 44.0% of the total shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the Filing Date.

 

 
 

 

Robert V. LaPenta owns 50,000 shares of Common Stock which he has purchased through open market purchases for his own account. Mr. LaPenta, in his capacity as a member and officer of RVL and Aston, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,625,386 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 44.2% of the total shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the Filing Date.

 

James A. DePalma owns 45,000 shares of Common Stock which he has purchased through open market purchases for his own account. Mr. DePalma, in his capacity as an officer of RVL and a member and officer of Aston, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,620,386 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 44.2% of the total shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the Filing Date.

 

Robert V. LaPenta, Jr., in his capacity as an officer of RVL and a member and officer of Aston, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,575,386 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 44.0% of the total shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the Filing Date.

 

Robert A. Basil, Jr., in his capacity as an officer of RVL and a member and officer of Aston, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 8,575,386 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 44.0% of the total shares of Common Stock deemed issued and outstanding as of the Filing Date.

 

(b) Except as disclosed in this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best of their knowledge, none of the managing member, members or officers of Aston or RVL, beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

 

(c) Other than the transactions disclosed in this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in respect of Common Stock within the past 60 days.

 

(d) The right to receive dividends on, and proceeds from, the sale of the shares of Common Stock which may be beneficially owned by the persons described in (a) and (b) above, is governed by the limited liability company agreements of each such entity, as applicable, and such dividends or proceeds may be distributed with respect to numerous member interests.
