Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), to amend and supplement the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 2, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), of Akumin Inc., a corporation incorporated in Ontario, Canada (the “Issuer” or “Company”).  The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 8300 W. Sunrise Boulevard, Plantation, Florida 33322.

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a-c, f) This Schedule 13D is filed jointly by each of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock and Warrants held directly by Stonepeak Magnet, an investment vehicle formed for the primary purpose of making this specific investment. Stonepeak Associates IV LLC is the sole general partner of Stonepeak Magnet.  Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC is the sole member of Stonepeak Associates IV LLC.  Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP is the managing member of Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC. Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP is the general partner of Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP.  Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC is the general partner of Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP.  Mr. Michael B. Dorrell is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, co-founder and sole member of Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC.

Upon the completion of the Restructuring (as defined in Item 4 herein), each of Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP, Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP, and Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC may be deemed to indirectly exercise voting and dispositive power over the Common Stock and Warrants held directly by Stonepeak Magnet, and have been added as Reporting Persons to the Schedule 13D.  Also upon completion of the Restructuring, Stonepeak GP Investors Manager LLC no longer may be deemed to indirectly exercise voting and dispositive power over the Common Stock and Warrants held directly by Stonepeak Magnet, and so has been removed as a Reporting Person from the Schedule 13D.

The principal business address of each Reporting Person is 55 Hudson Yards, 550 W. 34th Street, 48th Floor, New York, New York 10001.

The agreement among each of the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) of the Exchange Act is attached hereto as Exhibit 9.

(d) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

The response to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

On June 26, 2023, the Reporting Persons completed an internal restructuring (the “Restructuring”), pursuant to which Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP, Stonepeak GP Investors Upper Holdings LP, and Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings Manager LLC were created and Stonepeak GP Investors Holdings LP replaced Stonepeak GP Investors Manager LLC as the managing member of Stonepeak GP Investors IV LLC.  Following the Restructuring, Stonepeak GP Investors Manager LLC ceased being a beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock.

In connection with their regular review of their investment in the Issuer, and based on current market conditions and other factors, the Reporting Persons are currently evaluating alternatives for their current investment and potential future investment in the Issuer, including but not limited to restructuring the terms of the Issuer’s existing debt instruments, a potential divestiture of certain assets, a potential sale of the Issuer, another form of extraordinary corporate transaction or other possible transactions. Towards that end, the Reporting Persons have engaged in and/or may engage in communications with, among others, members of the Issuer’s management, members of the Issuer’s board of directors, shareholders and/or debtholders of the Issuer, legal, financial, regulatory, technical, industry or other advisors, potential sources of financing, or other persons, regarding, among other things, the review and evaluation of strategic alternatives, opportunities to increase shareholder value, Issuer operations, governance and control, and other matters related to the Issuer or the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Issuer. In connection with such communications, the Reporting Persons may seek to enter into a non-disclosure agreement.

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

(a) As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial owner of 20,614,093 shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 19.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  This amount includes: (i) 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by Stonepeak Magnet; and (ii) 17,114,093 shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons currently have the right to acquire upon exercise of the Warrants held directly by Stonepeak Magnet.

The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is based on the sum of (i) 90,498,491 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 8, 2023, based on the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on May 10, 2023, plus, (ii) for purposes of calculating the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(i) under the Act, the 17,114,093 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, for a total of 107,612,584 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

(b) The Reporting Persons have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to the 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by Stonepeak Magnet and the 17,114,093 shares of Common Stock that the Reporting Persons currently have the right to acquire upon exercise of the Warrants held directly by Stonepeak Magnet.

(e) This Item 5(e) is not applicable.

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

The response to Item 4 of this Amendment No. 1 is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
