Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") is being filed as an amendment to the initial statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock") of Banzai International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 23, 2025 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 435 Ericksen Ave, Suite 250, Bainbridge Island, Washington 98110.
The Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | ||
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
| (a) | Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:
As of August 17, 2026, Alco may be deemed to beneficially own 13,556 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represents approximately 0.4% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.
The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is calculated based on 3,517,105 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of August 13, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2026. For purposes of calculating the beneficial ownership percentage of Alco, the amount includes the 6,657 shares that Alco has the right to acquire within 60 days upon exercise of the 6,657 Common Warrants previously issued to Alco on September 20, 2024, as previously adjusted for reverse stock splits effected by the issuer on May 8, 2026 and July 8, 2025. | |
| (b) | See above response to Item 5(a). | |
| (e) | The reporting person is filing this Amendment to Schedule 13D on a voluntary basis to report beneficial ownership as of August 17, 2026 that is less than 5% solely as a result a series of dilutive issuances of equity securities by Banzai International, Inc. (the "Issuer") in 2025. There have not been any transactions in the Issuer's securities since the reporting person's previously filed Schedule 13D on April 23, 2025. | |
| SIGNATURE | |
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.
