(1) Reflects a one (1) for-eight (8) reverse stock split of the shares of Common Stock effected August 24, 2012. (2) Based on 2,295,553 split-adjusted shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding at the close of business on May 13, 2014, as represented in the Issuer's Registration Statement
on Form S-3 Filed on May 15, 2014. This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 4") amends the statement on Schedule 13D relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
"Common Stock") of Digital Ally, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Issuer"), filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 24, 2011
(the "Original Schedule 13D") as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on August 17, 2011 ("Amendment No. 1"), as further amended by
Amendment No. 2 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on July 26, 2013 ("Amendment No. 2") and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto filed by the
Reporting Person with the Commission on March 6, 2014 ("Amendment No. 3"). Each capitalized term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein and in Amendment No.
1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, each Item of the Original Schedule 13D remains unchanged. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration No changes are made to this Item from what was reported in Amendment No. 3. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as follows: The Reporting Person originally purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Person's 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 Person, and the availability of Shares at prices that
would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Person may endeavor to increase or decrease its position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale
of Shares (or securities convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for Shares) on the open market or in private negotiated transactions (including with the Issuer) or otherwise, on such terms
and at such times as the Reporting Person may deem advisable. The Reporting Person was elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 25, 2012. The Reporting Person, in the ordinary course of acting in his capacity as a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors, engages in activities relating to the strategy, business, assets,
operations, capital structure, financial condition, extraordinary corporate transactions, and corporate governance of the Issuer. As such, the Reporting Person has had many conversations with
management and the other members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer concerning ways for the Issuer to increase stockholder value and the Reporting Person plans to have continuing
discussions with management and the other members of the Board of Directors concerning how to maximize stockholder value in the future. On March 3, 2014, the Reporting Person delivered to the Issuer's Board of Directors a proposal from an entity with which the Reporting Person is affiliated for a convertible debt financing in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, which proposal was rejected by the Issuer.
Simultaneously with the filing of Amendment No. 3 on March 6, 2014, the Reporting Person sent a letter to the other members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, namely, Stanton E.
Ross, Leroy C. Richie, Elliot M. Kaplan, and Daniel F. Hutchins (the "Incumbent Directors"), to address the Reporting Person's concern that the foregoing have committed serious
violations of the fiduciary duties owed to the Issuer and advising the Issuer and Board of Directors that the Reporting Person is prepared to pursue any and all actions available to him,
including, without limitation, the commencing of litigation, in order to protect stockholder value. On May 22, 2014 the Reporting Person filed a stockholder derivative lawsuit against the Incumbent Directors in the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of
Nevada in and for the County of Clark, Case Number A-14-701146-B. A copy of the complaint may be obtained at
On May 23, 2014 the Reporting Person filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14D with the Commission soliciting proxies to vote against two proposals contained in the Issuer's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14D filed with the Commission on April 24, 2014 and relating to its upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. The Reporting Person was not re-nominated as a director as were each of the Incumbent Directors. The Issuer gives no explanation of this in their proxy statement and has offered no explanation to Mr. Gans. The two proposals subject to the Reporting Person's preliminary proxy statement are:
The Reporting Person's preliminary proxy statement also asks for a proxy to vote as he determines on any other business as may properly come before the Issuer's annual meeting of stockholders
.Other than the foregoing, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Person intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and continue to make himself available to the Issuer to discuss methods for maximizing stockholder value. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and results of operations, the Reporting Person's investment strategy, the price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, communications with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with third parties and stockholders of the Issuer about the Issuer and the Reporting Person's investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the present Board of Directors, management, capitalization, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer or a change of control transaction, seeking additional representation on the Board of Directors of the Issuer through election contests or otherwise, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of his Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing his intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4. Without limiting the foregoing, the Reporting Person expressly reserves the right to nominate individuals for election to the Issuer's Board of Directors, call a special meeting of stockholders and engage in election and proxy contests with respect to the Issuer.
The Reporting Person reserves the right to change his plans and intentions at any time as he deems appropriate.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5(a) is hereby amended as follows:
(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 4, as discussed above, the Reporting Person owns 398,587 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 17.36% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, based on 2,295,553 split-adjusted shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on May 13, 2014, as represented in the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed on May 15, 2014;
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Please see discussion of the preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14D filed with the Commission on May 23, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
