Reference is hereby made to the statement on
Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2014, as amended on March 3, 2015 and October 16,
2015 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”),
of Hardinge Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company” or “Issuer”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein are used as defined in the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons hereby amend and supplement the Schedule 13D as follows.
|
Item 3.
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
|
Item 3 is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The Reporting Persons may
be deemed to constitute a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b) as a result of entering into a Joint Filing Agreement as previously described
and filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D. If the Reporting Persons are deemed to have formed a group, the Reporting Persons
could be deemed to beneficially own the shares collectively held by the group, which would be an aggregate
1,238,538
shares
or 9.6% of the Common Stock of the Company; however, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
held by other members of the group except as expressly set forth herein.
The aggregate purchase price
of the
1,238,538
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons
is approximately $14,244,446.57, not including brokerage commissions, which was funded with partnership funds of Privet Fund LP
and with assets under separately managed accounts with Privet Fund Management LLC. Privet Fund LP effects purchases of securities
primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required
to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the
prime brokers’ credit policies.
|
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
Item
5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) As
of the date of this filing, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,238,538 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 9.6% of the
outstanding Common Stock (
calculated based on information included in the
Form 10-Q
filed by the
Corporation for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2016, which reported that
12,884,677 shares of
Common Stock
were outstanding as of July 29, 2016).
