CUSIP No. 871565107

The following constitutes Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 10”). This Amendment No. 10 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

Upon the conclusion of the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders held on June 30, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”), at which Christopher Hutter, Benjamin Rosenzweig and John P. Schauerman were elected to the Board of Directors (the “Board”), that certain Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2020 (the “Solicitation Agreement”), terminated in accordance with its terms. Effective upon the termination of the Solicitation Agreement, Privet Fund LP (“Privet Fund”), Privet Fund Management LLC (“Privet Fund Management”), Ryan Levenson and Mr. Rosenzweig (collectively, “Privet”) and (ii) UPG Enterprises LLC, Paul Douglass and Mr. Hutter (collectively, “UPG”) entered into the Group Agreement (as defined in Item 4). As a result, Privet may be deemed to be a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), comprised of Privet and UPG. It is the understanding of Privet that UPG will file a separate Schedule 13D with respect to its ownership of Shares pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) of the Exchange Act. Reference is made to such Schedule 13D for information concerning UPG and its investment in the Issuer. Andee Harris, Aldo Mazzaferro and Mr. Schauerman are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately upon the filing of this Amendment No. 10.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

According to the preliminary voting results from the Annual Meeting, three of Privet and UPG’s director nominees, Christopher Hutter, Benjamin Rosenzweig and John P. Schauerman, were elected to the Board by the Issuer’s stockholders.

On June 30, 2020, effective upon the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, Privet entered into a Group Agreement (the “Group Agreement”) with UPG. Pursuant to the Group Agreement, Privet and UPG agreed, among other things, to form a group for the purpose of focusing on methods to drive stockholder value and engaging in discussions with the Issuer regarding means to enhance stockholder value; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, Messrs. Rosenzweig and Hutter shall act in accordance with their fiduciary duties as directors of the Issuer and nothing in the Group Agreement shall limit the exercise thereof. The foregoing description of the Group Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Group Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 9,058,040 Shares outstanding as of May 19, 2020, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in Supplement No. 1 to the Issuer’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 4, 2020.

As of the date hereof, Privet Fund beneficially owned 1,535,507 Shares, constituting approximately 17.0% of the Shares outstanding.

9

CUSIP No. 871565107

Privet Fund Management, as the general partner and investment manager of Privet Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,535,507 Shares owned by Privet Fund, constituting approximately 17.0% of the Shares outstanding. Mr. Levenson, as the managing member of Privet Fund Management, may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,535,507 Shares owned by Privet Fund, constituting approximately 17.0% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the date hereof, Ms. Harris and Messrs. Mazzaferro, Rosenzweig and Schauerman did not beneficially own any Shares, constituting 0% of the Shares outstanding.

UPG has represented to Privet that it beneficially owns 723,401 Shares. Collectively, UPG and Privet beneficially own 2,258,908 Shares, which represents approximately 24.9% of the outstanding Shares. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares that he, she or it does not directly own. Furthermore, the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the 723,401 Shares beneficially owned by UPG.

(b)       Each of Privet Fund, Privet Fund Management and Mr. Levenson may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported owned by Privet Fund.

(c)       None of the Reporting Persons have entered into any transactions in the securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On June 30, 2020, Privet and UPG entered into the Group Agreement as defined and described in Item 4 above. A copy of the Group Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:

99.1 Group Agreement, by and among Privet Fund LP, Privet Fund Management LLC, Ryan Levenson, Benjamin Rosenzweig, UPG Enterprises LLC, Paul Douglass and Christopher Hutter, dated June 30, 2020.

WHEREAS, certain of the undersigned are stockholders, direct or beneficial, of Synalloy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, each of the undersigned was a party to that certain Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, dated as of March 16, 2020 (the “Solicitation Agreement”), for the purpose of, among other things, seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2020 Annual Meeting”);

WHEREAS, based on the preliminary voting results from the 2020 Annual Meeting, three of Privet and UPG’s director nominees, Christopher Hutter, Benjamin Rosenzweig and John P. Schauerman, were elected to the Board by the Company’s stockholders;

Rosenzweig and Hutter shall act in accordance with their fiduciary duties as directors of the Company and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the exercise thereof.

NOW, IT IS AGREED, this 30^th day of June 2020 by the Parties hereto:

1.Each of the undersigned agrees to form a “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) with respect to the securities of the Company. In furtherance of the foregoing and in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) under the Exchange Act, Privet and UPG shall separately file Schedules 13D and any amendments thereto with respect to the securities of the Company to the extent required by applicable law. Each member of the Group shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of its own disclosure therein, and is not responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning the other members of the Group, unless such member knows or has reason to know that such information is inaccurate.

2.So long as this Agreement is in effect, each of the undersigned shall provide written notice to Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP (“Olshan”), Jenner & Block LLP (“J&B”), Privet and UPG, such notice to be given no later than four (4) hours after each such transaction, of (i) any of their purchases or sales of securities of the Company, or (ii) any securities of the Company over which they acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership; provided, however, that each Party agrees not to purchase or sell securities of the Company or otherwise increase or decrease its economic exposure to or beneficial ownership over the securities of the Company if it reasonably believes that, as a result of such action, the Group or any member thereof would be likely to be required to make any regulatory filing (including, but not limited to, a Schedule 13D amendment, Form 3 or Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) without using its reasonable efforts to give the other members of the Group at least twelve (12) hours prior written notice; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any equity awards granted to Messrs. Rosenzweig or Hutter in their capacities as directors of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning of such term set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

3.Each of the undersigned agrees to form the Group for the Purposes described above. For the avoidance of doubt, Messrs. Rosenzweig and Hutter shall act in accordance with their fiduciary duties as directors of the Company and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the exercise thereof.

7.This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart.

8.This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. In the event of any dispute arising out of the provisions of this Agreement or their investment in the Company, the Parties hereto consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan or the courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York.
