SCHEDULE 13D

Item 1.
Security and Issuer

The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 31, 2006 by the Reporting Persons, as previously amended by Amendments No. 1 through 9 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), of American Railcar Industries, Inc., a North Dakota corporation (the “Issuer”), is hereby further amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein.  IEH ARI Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was the record owner of 11,871,268 Shares and is one of the Reporting Persons (“IEH ARI Holdings”).  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

Consummation of the Transactions Contemplated by the Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, on October 22, 2018, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with STL Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”).  On October 26, 2018, a North Dakota corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) executed a joinder agreement with the Issuer and Parent pursuant to which Merger Sub became a party to the Merger Agreement.

On December 5, 2018, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation following the merger (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger, the Issuer has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding Share held by the Reporting Persons was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $70.00, without interest.  As a result of the foregoing and as of the effective time of the Merger, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a)          As of the date hereof and as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

(b)          As of the date hereof and as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

(c)          Except as described in Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions with respect to the Shares within the past 60 days.

(d)          Not applicable.

(e)          As of the date hereof and as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.

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

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.
