 CUSIP No. 43785V102  SCHEDULE 13D/A  Page   5 of 7 Pages

 

  This Amendment No. 13 (“ Amendment No. 13 ”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) on November 20, 2017 (the “ Original Schedule 13D ”) and Amendments No. 2 through No. 12 to the Original Schedule 13D (together with the Original Schedule 13D and this Amendment No. 13, the “ Schedule 13D ”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 13 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 13 amends Items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7 as set forth below.

 

Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER
   
  Item 1 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
   
  This Amendment No. 13 relates to the shares of Common Stock, no par value (the “ Common Stock ”) of HomeStreet, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “ Issuer ”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 601 Union Street, Suite 2000, Seattle, Washington 98101.

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
  Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
   
  In aggregate, Roaring Blue Lion Capital Management and Mr. Griege have sole voting and dispositive power over 1,655,409 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer acquired at an aggregate cost of $46,204,442, excluding brokerage commissions. These shares were acquired using the Advisory Clients’ available working capital. The Roaring Blue Lion Entities and Mr. Griege do not own any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer directly.
   
  As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Mr. Tanemura had invested $293,127 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of these funds was personal investment capital.
   
  From time to time, the Reporting Persons may purchase Common Stock on margin provided by banking institutions or brokerage firms on such firms’ usual terms and conditions. All or part of the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such entities. Such loans, if any, generally bear interest at a rate based upon the federal funds rate plus a margin. Such indebtedness, if any, may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers. Other than the foregoing margin arrangements, as of the date of this filing, none of the Reporting Persons have loans secured by Common Stock.

 

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
   
  Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
   
  On October 17, the Blue Lion Parties sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The contents of the letter are filed as Exhibit 99.17 .

 

 CUSIP No. 43785V102  SCHEDULE 13D/A  Page   6 of 7 Pages

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   
  Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
   
(a) As of the date hereof, the Blue Lion Parties held in the aggregate 1,655,409 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, which represents 6.1% of the outstanding Common Stock. As of the date of this Amendment No. 13, Ronald K. Tanemura held in the aggregate 10,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, which represents less than one percent of the outstanding Common Stock. The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 26,985,537.6 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of August 1, 2018. This amount is based upon the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2018.
   
(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of 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.
   
(c) During the past 60 days no transactions were effected by any Reporting Person.
   
(d) Other than the Advisory Clients for which Roaring Blue Lion Capital Management acts as the investment adviser, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, shares of the Common Stock.
   
(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
