stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”) of Gold Standard Ventures Corp., a corporation organized under the laws
of British Columbia, Canada (the “Issuer”), is hereby further amended with respect to the matters set forth below in
this Amendment No. 13. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Statement.
Item 2.
|
Identity and Background
|
Item 2 of the
Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:
Commencing
with the filing of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 13), “Filing Persons” shall mean FCMI and Mr. Friedberg. Nottingham
Investment Corporation (“NIC”) has been dissolved and is no longer a Filing Person. See Item 4.
Item 3.
|
Source and Amount
of Funds or Other Consideration
|
Item 3 of the
Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:
FCMI
acquired 30,163,966 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer from NIC in the dissolution described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D
(Amendment No. 13). NIC had previously acquired such shares from FCMI in exchange for non-voting preferred shares of NIC, as detailed
in Amendment No. 12 to this Schedule 13D.
For
information regarding the source and amount of funds used by the Filing Persons to acquire the Issuer’s Common Stock, see Item
3 of their Schedule 13D, as amended through Amendment No. 11.
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction
|
Item 4 of the
Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following information:
In
connection with an internal reorganization effected by FCMI, on September 1, 2019, FCMI acquired all of the shares of NIC previously
held by Albert Friedberg. On September 30, 2019, NIC was dissolved. Upon consummation of the dissolution, the 30,163,966 shares
of Common Stock held by NIC were acquired by FCMI, as the sole shareholder of NIC.
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities
of the Issuer
|
Item 5 of the
Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
On
the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 13), the Filing Persons are the beneficial owners of a total of 30,493,966 shares
of Common Stock, constituting 11.0% of the outstanding Common Stock. All shares beneficially owned by the Filing Persons are presently
outstanding and are owned directly by FCMI. Mr. Friedberg, through his control over FCMI shares held by members of his family
and trusts for the benefit of members of his family, may be considered the beneficial owner of all of the Common Stock owned by
FCMI. Except for such beneficial ownership by Mr. Friedberg, none of the directors or officers of FCMI beneficially owns any Common
Stock.
The
beneficial ownership percentage of the Filing Persons has been calculated as a percentage of 277,377,886 shares of Common Stock
outstanding at August 9, 2019, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the six months ended June
30, 2019. The decrease in the Filing Persons’ beneficial ownership from 11.7% of the outstanding Common Stock, as most recently
reported by the Filing Persons in their Schedule 13D (Amendment No. 12), to 11.0% of the outstanding Common Stock, as set forth
herein, results solely from a higher total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of this Schedule 13D (Amendment
No. 13). Except for the transfer of the Issuer’s Common Stock from NIC to FCMI in the dissolution described in Item 4, none of
the Filing Persons, and none of the officers or directors of NIC or of FCMI, has effected any transactions in the Common Stock
in the 60 days preceding the filing of this Amendment No. 13.
SIGNATURES
After
reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information in this
statement is true, complete and correct.
