Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On August 12, 2016, Bulldog Investors, LLC announced that Hill International’s Board of Directors had taken a series of actions to avoid losing a proxy contest to Bulldog.  At 9:15 am Eastern Time on August 11, 2016, the Board announced that the annual meeting of stockholders, originally scheduled for 11 am Eastern Time on that day, was purportedly cancelled.  The Board acted with the knowledge that, had the meeting been held as scheduled, all of Bulldog’s nominees would have been elected by a margin of approximately two to one and each of Bulldog’s proposals would have been adopted by a similar margin.  The Board also announced that it had increased its size from nine to eleven directors and had added two directors. No reasons were given for any of these actions.
 
On August 15, 2016, Bulldog filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court seeking, among other things, a declaration that its nominees were elected and that any action purportedly taken by the Board of Directors after the annual meeting was supposed to start is void.
 
On August 10, 2016, David Richter, Hill’s CEO, filed a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County against Phillip Goldstein and Bulldog, alleging that, as a result of statements they made during the proxy contest, Mr. Richter “suffered financial loss and damage to his unblemished professional reputation as an ethical businessman…and emotional distress.”
