SCHEDULE 13D/A

Page 4 of 6 Pages

 

  This Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 3") amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 21, 2016 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on April 10, 2017 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on May 15, 2017 ("Amendment No. 2") and Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on June 10, 2020  ("Amendment No. 3" and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and this Amendment No. 4, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Astronics Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Issuer"), and (ii) shares of class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of the Issuer.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.  This Amendment No. 4 amends Items 3 and 5 as set forth below.  This is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an "exit filing" for the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
  Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:
   
  On August 5, 2020 Donnellys converted 57,152 shares of Class B Common Stock into 57,152 shares of Common Stock and on August 21, 2020, the LLC converted 85,695 shares of Class B Common Stock into 85,695 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the "August 2020 Conversions"). On August 21, 2020, following the August 2020 Conversions, the LLC made an in-kind distribution of the 1,409,614 shares of Class B Common Stock and 85,695 shares of Common Stock held by it to its members, including 42,848 shares of Common Stock and 330,979 shares of Class B Common Stock to Donnellys.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   
  Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
   
(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock and percentages of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into a share of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The cover pages to this Schedule 13D do not set forth beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as a result of such conversion right.  The percentages reported in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon the 23,586,404 shares of Common Stock and the 7,169,459 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of July 27, 2020, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 27, 2020 filed with the SEC on August 4, 2020, and gives effect to the August 2020 Conversions.  
   
(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.  In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into a share of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The cover pages to this Schedule 13D do not set forth beneficial ownership of the Common Stock as a result of such conversion right.
   
(c) See Item 3.
