    This Amendment No. 17 to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 17”) amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 18, 2015 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D” or this “Statement”), with respect to the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of FG Financial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 17 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 17, the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that they constitute a “group.”

    Information regarding the identity and background of the partners, managers, officers, directors or other controlling persons, of the Reporting Persons, as applicable, is set forth in this Item 2, or in regards to BTN, on Schedule A to this Statement. Each of the individuals identified on Schedule A to this Statement is a U.S. citizen.

    None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of their partners, managers, officers, directors or other controlling persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).


    None of the Reporting Persons nor, to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, any of their partners, managers, officers, directors or other controlling 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.

    The total cost for purchasing the Common Stock reported as owned by the Reporting Persons, including brokerage commissions, was approximately as follows: Mr. Cerminara, $26,003 and FGFH, $334,599. The source of these funds was working capital or personal funds, as applicable.

    On September 14, 2022, FGIH transferred all of its securities of the Company to FGFH in exchange for membership interests in FGFH. FGIH’s total cost for purchasing the Common Stock previously reported as owned, including brokerage commissions, was approximately $3,740,789.

    Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

    On September 12, 2022, BTN transferred 2,904,231 shares of Common Stock to FGFH in exchange for membership interests in FGFH pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of FGFH dated as of September 12, 2022 (the “FGFH A&R LLCA”). Pursuant to the FGFH A&R LLCA, BTN has the right to appoint one manager of FGFH and remains a beneficial owner of the shares now held directly by FGFH. On September 12, 2022, FAFI transferred 2,049,985 shares of Common Stock to FGFH in exchange for membership interests in FGFH pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2022, by and between FAFI and FGFH. On September 14, 2022, FGIH transferred 477,282 shares of Common Stock to FGFH, in exchange for membership interests in FGFH pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2022, by and between FGIH and FGFH. Following their contributions, FAFI and FGIH ceased to have any investment, dispositive or voting power over the Company’s securities and are no longer beneficial owners of the shares now held directly by FGFH. The purpose of these transfers was to simplify the reporting structure and to facilitate the purchase of additional shares of the Company.

    Between September 12 and 15, 2022, FGFH made the following open market purchases of Common Stock for long-term holding purposes:

     

      •

      •  

    September 13, 2022—33,557 shares in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $1.65 to $1.725, inclusive, and a weighted average price of $1.68 per share

     

      •  

    September 14, 2022—86,320 shares in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $1.71 to $2.00, inclusive, and a weighted average price of $1.88 per share

     

      •  

    September 15, 2022—3,456 shares in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $2.08 and $2.10, inclusive, and a weighted average price of $2.09 per share


    The Reporting Persons undertake to provide to the Company, any security holder of the Company or the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), upon request, full information regarding the number of shares of Common Stock purchased at each separate price within the ranges set forth above.

    None of the Reporting Persons have any present plan or proposal that would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as set forth herein and except as may be proposed by Mr. Cerminara in his capacity as director of the Company, or by such board of directors with Mr. Cerminara’s participation. The Reporting Persons reserve the right in the future to formulate any such plans or proposals, and to take any actions with respect to their holdings in the Company, including any or all of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

    The Reporting Persons may in the future acquire additional shares of Common Stock of the Company or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by them in open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable, subject to applicable law.

    Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
