Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated March 17, 2014 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock, $0.10 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Rand Capital Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Corporation”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person hereby amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as follows.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,238,692 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is approximately $4,085,454, including brokerage commissions, which was funded by the Reporting Person client funds for which the Reporting Person acts as an investment advisor pursuant to an investment management agreement between the Reporting Person client and the Reporting Person (the “Investment Agreement”).  The Shares are held in a separately managed account, which may utilize margin credit from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin account bears interest at a rate based upon the broker's call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein.
