EXPLANATORY NOTE

This statement amends and restates the Schedule 13D originally filed on July 11, 2016, and initially amended on November 7, 2016. Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. All items not supplemented in this Amendment remain unchanged from the Schedule 13D, as in effect prior to the date of this amendment. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

This statement relates to 180,616 shares (the “Issued Shares”) of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (the “Issuer”), and a warrant (the “$2.50 Warrant”) to purchase an additional 125,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock exercisable at any time prior to December 30, 2021, at a per share price of $20.00. The Issued Shares were acquired on November 7, 2016, upon exercise of two warrants (the “$0.25 Warrants” and together with the $2.50 Warrant, the “Warrants”): one exercisable for up to 125,000 shares of Common Stock and another Warrant exercisable for up to 218,750 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants were acquired from the Issuer as partial consideration under the Master Credit Facility, dated as of June 30 2016, among the Fund, the Issuer and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer (the “Master Credit Facility”) which provides for a revolving credit facility to the Issuer. The number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants were exercisable was adjusted for a 1-for-8 reverse split of the Common Stock on September 27, 2016. On November 7, 2016, 97,305 of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the $0.25 Warrants were repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to a partial issuer tender offer. On May 15, 2017, the Fund distributed 246,445 of the shares to its members, including 180,616 shares to PDN Investment Trust, a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund is the sole trustee of PDN Investment Trust. The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 801 W. Adams Street, Suite 600, Chicago, Illinois 60607.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate 305,616 shares of Common Stock (the “Aggregate Shares”), representing approximately 7.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding capital stock based upon the 3,934,616 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock stated to be outstanding as of May 11, 2017, in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2017.

The Fund has the right to require the Issuer to register any shares acquired upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the Issuer is registering other shares of Common Stock or if it is eligible to register shares of Common Stock on Form S-3, in each case subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

The Partners, by virtue of their relationship to the Fund, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the Aggregate Shares. The Partners disclaim beneficial ownership of the Aggregate Shares for all other purposes.

The Fund has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to the Aggregate Shares. The Partners have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to the Aggregate Shares.

The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Aggregate Shares effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Reporting Persons. Except as otherwise noted below, all such transactions were effected in the open market, and the table includes commissions paid in per share prices.

13D

Except as otherwise described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
