Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D

 

John D. Weil (the “Reporting Person” or “Mr. Weil”) previously reported the acquisition of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock, no par value (“Class A Shares”) of Baldwin and Lyons, Inc. (the “Issuer”) in an initial filing of this Schedule 13D on March 28, 1985, as most recently amended by Amendment No. 7, filed on March 14, 2019 (“Amendment No. 7”).

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Statement relates to the shares of Class A Voting Stock of Protective Insurance Corp. (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 111 Congressional Blvd., Suite 500, Carmel, IN 46032.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

This Statement is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Person, John D. Weil. The business address of the Reporting Person is 4625 Lindell Blvd., Suite # 335, St Louis Missouri 63108.

 

John Weil is a self-employed investor and is a citizen of the United States.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

All shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were acquired using the Reporting Person’s personal funds or by transfers from family members and affiliates described in previous amendments to this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

As of the date on which this schedule was filed and subject to the disclaimers below in this Item 5, the Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 108,776 Class A Shares, which represents 4.2% of the Issuer’s 2,603,350 issued and outstanding Class A Shares as of June 30, 2020, the last date for which the Issuer has disclosed the number of outstanding Class A Shares in any filings with the Securities Exchange Commission.

 

The Reporting Person beneficially owns 23,718 (0.9%) Class A Shares with sole voting or dispositive power and 85,058 (3.3%) Class A Shares with shared voting or dispositive power. The reduction in the number of Class A Shares owned with shared voting or dispositive power since the filing of Amendment No. 7 is the result of changes in the investment control over the Class A Shares made by members of Mr. Weil’s extended family pursuant to which such family members, all of whom are adults outside of Mr. Weil’s household, assumed such control. As a result of such changes, Mr. Weil’s aggregate beneficial ownership of Class A Shares has fallen below 5.0% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares. Mr. Weil will no longer file reports on Schedule 13D until such time as required by Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
