This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to Schedule 13D amends the corresponding items in the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission by Mr. Sokol (the “Reporting Person”) on April 15, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as specifically set forth herein, and except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 1, all other items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged in all material respects. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On August 13, 2019, pursuant to the Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Plan, the Reporting Person was granted 300,000 shares of restricted Class A common stock and 500,000 options to purchase shares of Class A common stock, which will vest in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of April 5, 2019, such RSAs and Options in addition to the RSAs and Options granted to the Reporting Person on November 10, 2016 pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of October 26, 2016, by and between the Reporting Person and the Issuer (the “Employment Agreement”), which vested in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of April 5, 2016, and the RSAs and Options granted to the Reporting Person on April 9, 2013 pursuant to the Employment Agreement, which vested in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of April 4, 2013. It is currently expected that, consistent with the terms of the Employment Agreement and past practice, there may be future issuances of RSAs and Options to the Reporting Person. It is currently expected that employees, consultants and directors of the Issuer may receive future awards of RSAs and Options by the Issuer (as well as continue to vest into existing Options and RSA grants) consistent with past practice, and as Chief Executive Officer, President and member of the Board, the Reporting Person will evaluate any such issuances.

It is the current intent of the Issuer to continue to grow through strategic acquisitions, and as Chief Executive Officer, President and member of the Board, the Reporting Person reviews and evaluates potential transactions and the consideration used, which may include Class A common stock.
 
Except as described above, the Reporting Person presently has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any action enumerated in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions for Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) and (b) The Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 1,341,171 shares of Class A common stock representing approximately 6.4% of the Class A common stock, including (i) 766,171 shares of Class A common stock; and (ii) 575,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days of August 13, 2019.  Percentage ownership is based on 20,256,791 shares of Issuer’s Class A common stock issued and outstanding as of August 13, 2019.
The Reporting Person has sole power to direct the voting of all of the shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by him. The Reporting Person has sole power to direct the disposition of 941,171 shares of Class A common stock, which includes 366,171 shares of Class A common stock and 575,000 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options exercisable within 60 days of August 13, 2019. The Reporting Person does not have the power to direct the disposition of 100,000 shares of restricted Class A common stock, which will vest upon the fair market value of the Class A common stock price reaching or exceeding $15.00 per share on at least ten trading days (which need not be consecutive) following the Effective Date. The Reporting Person does not have the power to direct the disposition of 300,000 shares of restricted Class A common stock, which will vest in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of April 5, 2019.
