(1) Reflects a one (1) for-eight (8) reverse stock split of the shares of Common Stock effected August 24, 2012.

(2) Based on 2,220,530 split-adjusted shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on November 6, 2013, as represented in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended September 30, 2013.


This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 3") 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") and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons with the Commission on July 26, 2013 ("Amendment No. 2").

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 and Amendment No. 2, each Item of the Original Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

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

The shares of the Issuer's commons stock reported herein were acquired by the Reporting Person for an aggregate purchase price of $2,851,848 (including brokerage commissions). The source of such funds was the personal funds of the Reporting Person.

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. 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 Shares, 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 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.

Simultaneously with the filing of this Amendment No. 3, 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 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 Company 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.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) and 5(c) is hereby amended as follows:

(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 3, as discussed above, the Reporting Person owns 398,587 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 17.95% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, based on 2,220,530 split-adjusted shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on November 6, 2013, as represented in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarter ended September 30, 2013;

(c) Since the filing of Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person acquired the following shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, inclusive of any transactions effected through 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date hereof. All such transactions were purchases of Shares effected in the open market, and the table includes commissions paid in per share prices.

The terms and conditions set forth herein are subject to change and this letter does not constitute an offer, however, the Expense Reimbursement and Binding terms section of the document are binding. The issuance and sale of such securities is subject to completion of due diligence to the Investors' satisfaction, the preparation of definitive documentation to effect this transaction that is mutually satisfactory to each party and, in the case of the Investors, that the Investors shall have determined that subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the closing of this transaction, there shall have been no material adverse developments relating to the business, assets, operations, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Issuer:

Digital Ally, Inc., "DGLY"

   

Investors:

Gans Family Investments, LLLP ("GFI") and certain other investors acceptable to GFI (collectively, the "Investors").

   

Securities:

$2 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the "Notes") and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock").

   

Maturity Date:

The Notes will mature on the twenty-fourth month anniversary of the closing date, except as otherwise provided in the Notes (the "Maturity Date").

   

Interest:

6% per annum, payable quarterly in cash.

   

Rank:

The Notes will be designated by the Company as senior indebtedness, and will be secured by a perfected first priority security interest in all of the assets of the Company (including without limitation receivables and inventory), of its subsidiaries, and will be senior in right of payment to all of the Company's existing and future indebtedness, subject to permitted liens (as defined in the definitive documentation). Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, currently formed or formed in the future, will grant a security interest in any assets of the Company. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company will not incur any new debt, except for (x) trade payables in the ordinary course of business, (y) permitted subordinated indebtedness (as defined in the definitive documentation), and (z) such other indebtedness designated as permitted indebtedness in the definitive documentation.

   

Conversion Price:

The Investor may elect to convert the Notes into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price") equal to the Market Price (as defined below), in each case, subject to adjustment, including full ratchet anti-dilution upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock below the then-existing Conversion Price. Anti-dilution adjustments to the conversion price of the Notes shall be downward only, except in the event of a reverse split or similar event. Customary exceptions shall apply including stock options issued to employees. The Conversion Price of the Notes shall also be subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and similar events.

 

The "Market Price" shall be equal to 115% of the lower of (x) the consolidated closing bid price on the trading day immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the subscription agreement and (ii) the arithmetic average of the 5-day VWAP immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the subscription agreement.

   

Amortization

Commencing on the 6 month anniversary of the closing date, (the "Initial Amortization Date"), the Company will redeem a fraction of the Notes the numerator of which is equal to the initial principal amount of the Notes and the denominator of which is equal to the amount of months from the Initial Amortization Date to the Maturity date (each monthly amount, the "Monthly Amortization Amount"). The investors will have the ability to defer payments.

   

Payment of Amortization & Interest:

The Company may elect to pay the Monthly Amortization Amount and/or Interest in cash or by that number of shares of Common Stock equal to (a) the sum of the Monthly Amortization Amount and Interest (the "Monthly Payment Amount") to be paid in shares of Common Stock divided by (b) the lesser of (i) the then existing Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the Amortization/Interest Market Price (as defined below), provided that on each such date (1) the Company meets standard equity conditions, and (2) all shares of Common Stock delivered in satisfaction of the Monthly Payment Amount can be delivered without restrictive legends and immediately eligible for resale without restriction or limitation. The Company shall make such election no later than the twenty-first (21st) Trading Day immediately prior to the applicable amortization date (each, an "Amortization Notice Date")

 

The "Amortization/Interest Market Price" shall be equal to the average of the volume weighted average prices ("VWAP") for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable amortization payment date, subject to a pre-share delivery (with the "true-up" on the applicable amortization payment date), based on the twenty (20) consecutive trading days period ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Amortization Notice Date.

   


Company Call/Forced Conversion:

As long as equity conditions have been met and the Company's common stock price exceeds 200% of the original Conversion Price for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to force a conversion/call the entire balance of the Debentures. The investor will always have the ability to voluntarily convert the debenture during the period.

   

Warrants:

The Company shall issue a number of warrants, each to purchase one share of Common Stock, in a quantity equal to 35% of the number of shares of Common Stock the Investor would receive if the Notes were converted at the Conversion Price on the trading day immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the subscription agreement. The warrants shall expire five (5) years from their initial issuance date. The initial exercise price shall be equal to 120% of the Market Price (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and similar events)(the "Original Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment. The warrants shall have full ratchet anti- dilution to the then-existing exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock below the then-existing exercise price. Anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price of the Warrants shall be downward only, except in the event of a reverse split or similar event. The warrants shall also be subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and similar events. The warrants will be exercisable for cash; provided, however, if a prospectus covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants is not available, the Investor may exercise the warrant using standard cashless exercise provisions. The warrants will carry customary black scholes fundamental transaction and dividend protection provisions.

   


Limitations on Beneficial
Ownership:

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Note or Warrant of any Investor shall be convertible or exercisable, as applicable, if after such exercise such Investor (or any number of Investors acting in concert so as to form a "group") would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

   

Nasdaq Vote:

The company will agree to file a proxy within 45 days after the Company files the 10K, seeking shareholder approval for the contemplated transaction. In no event prior to the shareholder approval will the notes be convertible into shares representing more than 19.9% of the shares outstanding.

   

Right of Participation:

The Investors shall have the right to participate for 50% of any future offering by the Company until the two (2) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

   

Customary Terms:

The definitive documentation will contain such additional and supplementary provisions, including, without limitation, customary representations, warranties, covenants (including a negative covenant on patents), agreements, non-price based anti-dilution protections, change of control provisions, payments and remedies, as are appropriate to preserve and protect economic benefits intended to be conveyed to the Company and to the Investors pursuant hereto.

The Company will pay all of Investor's actual and reasonably documented due diligence, travel and legal fees and expenses related to this transaction, regardless of whether the transaction is consummated or not; provided, that such fees for the documentation of the transaction shall not exceed $50,000 without the prior consent of the Company. Such fees will be due in part as the Investor may request from time to time, and in full upon the earlier of the closing or the termination of negotiations with respect to this transaction.

The parties further agree, following the execution hereof, to keep this term sheet confidential until the earlier of the public announcement of the Company's intention to raise the capital contemplated herein or termination of discussions amongst the parties.

This term sheet will be considered void if it is not executed by the Company prior to the close of business on _________________________, 2014.
