Item 1.

Security and Issuer

 

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D, dated February 7, 2022, as previously amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 to Schedule 13D, with respect to the common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock" or the "Shares"), of Duos Technologies Group, Inc. (the "Issuer"), filed by Norman H. Pessin, Sandra F. Pessin and Brian L. Pessin.  Except as expressly amended below, the Schedule 13D, February 7, 2022, as previously amended, remains in effect

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

 

This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D is being filed by and for Norman H. Pessin, Sandra F. Pessin, and Brian L. Pessin (each a "Reporting Person").  The address of each Reporting Person is set forth below:

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, communications with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with third parties about the Issuer, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The beneficial ownership percentages in this Amendment No. 5 are based on 7,045,782 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding on October 6, 2022.

 

Norman H. Pessin owns 57,972 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, constituting 0.8% of the outstanding shares thereof.  Sandra F. Pessin owns 1,221,062 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, constituting 17.3% of the outstanding shares thereof.  Brian L. Pessin owns 180,911 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, constituting 2.6% of the outstanding shares thereof.

Norman H. Pessin has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock he owns directly.  Sandra F. Pessin has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock she owns directly. Brian L. Pessin has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock he owns directly.

Schedule A attached hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons.  All of such transactions were effected through a private placement dated 9/30/2022 and a conversion of 851 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to 121,571 shares of Common Stock owned by Sandra F. Pessin.

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, the shares of Common Stock.

 

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
