    Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
       
      Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
       
      On November 3, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned, privately held subsidiary of Parent.
       

     

    CUSIP No. 86184W10613D/APage 6 of 8 Pages

      

      At the Effective Time, shareholders of the Issuer ceased to have any rights with respect to the Common Stock, except their rights pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  Certain funds affiliated with the Investment Manager provided equity financing of $109,868,507.50, solely for the purpose of providing a portion of the financing for the transactions.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, in connection with the Merger, the Axar Vehicles (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) contributed all their shares of Common Stock to Axar Cemetery Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
       
      On the Closing Date, the Issuer notified the NYSE of the consummation of the Merger and requested that (i) trading of Common Stock be suspended prior to the opening of trading on November 4, 2022 and (ii) the NYSE filed with the SEC a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 in order to delist the Common Stock from the NYSE and deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, Parent intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the termination of registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Trading of the Common Stock on the NYSE was halted prior to the opening of trading on November 4, 2022.
       
      At the Effective Time, the StoneMor Inc. Phantom Stock Award was cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement in exchange for a cash payment of $3.50 per share, representing the cash Merger Consideration.
       
      The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
       

     

    CUSIP No. 86184W10613D/APage 7 of 8 Pages

      

    Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
       
      Items 5(a), (b), (c) and (e) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

     

      (a) and (b) As a result of the consummation of the Merger on November 3, 2022, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons have beneficial ownership of 0 shares of Common Stock, constituting 0% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
         
      (c) Except for the transactions described in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 20, no transactions in shares of the Common Stock have been effected since the filing of Amendment No. 19 by the Reporting Persons.
         
      (e) November 3, 2022.

     

    Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
       
      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:
       
      The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Item 4 of this statement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
