Introduction.

This Amendment No. 3 to the joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of GAIAM, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Issuer”), filed by Mill Road Capital, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund I”), Mill Road Capital GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GP I”), Thomas E. Lynch and Scott P. Scharfman (collectively, with Fund I and GP I, the “First Reporting Persons”) on April 8, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D filed by the First Reporting Persons on November 8, 2010, and as amended and restated by Amendment No. 2 on Schedule 13D filed by the First Reporting Persons, Mill Road Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Fund II”), and Mill Road Capital II GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GP II”), on March 19, 2013 (such filing, as so amended and restated and as amended herein, the “Schedule 13D”), further amends the Schedule 13D as further set forth below.

 

1.	Item 3 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Persons have acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 765,605 shares of Common Stock for $3,207,884.95 using working capital from Fund II.”

 

2.	Item 5 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:

“Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The percentages of beneficial ownership reported for the Reporting Persons in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 17,346,287 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of August 6, 2013, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. All of the share numbers reported below, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are as of August 13, 2013, unless otherwise indicated.

(a, b) The cover page to this Schedule 13D for each of the Reporting Persons is incorporated by reference in its entirety into these paragraphs (a, b) of this Item 5. Fund II directly holds, and thus has sole voting and dispositive power over, 765,605 shares of Common Stock. GP II, as sole general partner of Fund II, also has sole authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, these shares of Common Stock, and each of Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman has the shared authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, these shares of Common Stock on behalf of Fund II and GP II. Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns an aggregate of 765,605 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 765,605 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 4.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Neither Mr. Goldman nor Mr. Jacobs has beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock.
