Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 4, 2018, Standard Diversified Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”) a Certificate of Correction of the Registrant’s Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) certifying that the Certificate of Incorporation, when filed by the Registrant with the Secretary of State on August 18, 2017, should have stated in Article IV that the authorized shares of capital stock of the Registrant consisted of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), 300,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), for a total of 380,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock, but instead stated that the authorized shares of capital stock of the Registrant consisted of 500,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 300,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, for a total of 830,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock.

The filing of the Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State corrects this error and confirms that the authorized shares of capital stock of the Registrant consist of 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 300,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, for a total of 380,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock.

No shares of Preferred Stock are, or have been at any time since the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation, outstanding.
