*	Excludes 18,450 Common Shares held by Mr. Myers’ spouse, for which he disclaims beneficial ownership.

 

**

Mr. Myers shares voting power and dispositive power with respect to: (i) 253,021 Common Shares held by The Louis S. Myers & Mary S. Myers Foundation (the “Foundation”), of which Mr. Myers is a trustee; (ii) 19,500 Common Shares held by the Semantic Foundation (“Semantic”), of which Mr. Myers is a trustee; and (iii) 913 Common Shares held by MSM & Associates, LP (the “Partnership”), of which Mr. Myers is a shareholder of the Partnership. Mr. Myers may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares held by the Foundation, Semantic and the Partnership as a result of his position with such organizations, although Mr. Myers disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares to the extent he does not hold a pecuniary interest with respect to such shares.

This Amendment No. 4 is filed by Stephen E. Myers and amends the Schedule 13D previously filed by Mr. Myers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 12, 1999, and later amended on April 24, 2007, March 2, 2009 and April 12, 2012 (“Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”) of Myers Industries, Inc. (“Myers” or the “Issuer”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 4 is to update Mr. Myers’ beneficial ownership information to reflect that, as a result of cumulative dispositions of Common Shares since the filing date of the last amendment to this Schedule 13D, the amount of Common Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Myers has decreased by more than one percent of the Issuer’s total outstanding Common Shares as of the date of this filing. The information below supplements the information previously reported.
