This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2013 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons (as defined in the Schedule 13D) with respect to shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share of GlyEco, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Issuer”) with its principal executive offices located at 4802 East Ray Road, Suite 23-196, Phoenix, Arizona 85044 .. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

  

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

 

On January 15, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer appointed Mr. Dwight B. Mamanteo to serve as a member of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Mamanteo serves as a Portfolio Manager for WCI.

 

Other than as set forth in this Item 4, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons do not have any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and to the extent permitted by law, may seek to engage in discussions with other stockholders and/or with management and the Board of the Issuer concerning the business, operations or future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons may, in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling shares of Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock, taking any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of its securities in any manner permitted by law or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4.
