Explanatory Note:

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to Schedule 13D amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D, in relation to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Albany Molecular Research, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment is being filed to disclose the transactions described in Item 4 below. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously included in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment reports that the Dr. D’Ambra ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the Common Stock of the Issuer.

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 to Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On August 31, 2017, UIC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Issuer, UIC Parent Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Merger Sub.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and the Issuer continued as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Common Stock (other than Common Stock owned by the Issuer or by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer or of Parent (other than Merger Sub)) of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive $21.75.

ITEM 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

On August 31, 2017, all of the Common Stock of the Issuer held of record by Dr. D’Ambra were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $21.75 pursuant to and upon the closing of the Merger. Following such cancellation and conversion into the right to receive $21.75, Dr. D’Ambra no longer holds any shares of common stock of the Issuer.

(a)-(b) See the information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment which is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) There have been no reportable transactions with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer within the last 60 days by Dr. D’Ambra, except as described in this Amendment.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On August 31, 2017, Dr. D’Ambra ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Issuer.
