The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 2”). This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 25, 2019, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into a cooperation agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Issuer increased the size of its Board of Directors (the “Board”) by two and immediately appointed (i) Janice Stipp as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Issuer’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders and (ii) Jeri Harman as a Class I director with a term expiring at the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”). The Issuer has agreed to nominate Ms. Stipp for election to the Board at the 2019 Annual Meeting and reduce the size of the Board by one director effective as of the 2019 Annual Meeting, so that immediately following the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Board will be fixed at eight directors and may not be further expanded without the Reporting Persons’ consent, provided that they continue to beneficially own at least the lesser of (i) 4.0% of the outstanding Shares and (ii) 1,684,168 Shares (the “Ownership Threshold”).

Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Issuer also agreed to seek stockholder approval at the 2019 Annual Meeting to amend its Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the annual election of directors such that, if passed, directors elected at the 2019 Annual Meeting will serve one-year terms and the Board will be fully declassified at the time of the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Cooperation Agreement further provides that during the Standstill Period (as defined below) if Ms. Stipp or Ms. Harman cease to serve on the Board and at that time the Reporting Persons continue to meet the Ownership Threshold, the Reporting Persons shall have the right to privately propose a replacement who satisfies certain conditions set forth therein.

The terms of the Cooperation Agreement provide that the Reporting Persons are subject to customary standstill obligations from the date of the Cooperation Agreement until fifteen days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations of directors for the 2020 Annual Meeting (the “Standstill Period”). During the Standstill Period, the Reporting Persons agreed not to acquire ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding Shares. The Reporting Persons have also agreed to vote in a manner consistent with the recommendation of the Board, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Cooperation Agreement, during the Standstill Period.

The foregoing description of the Cooperation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Cooperation Agreement, which is referenced as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 25, 2019, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into the Cooperation Agreement as defined and described in Item 4, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.

Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:

99.1

Cooperation Agreement, dated February 25, 2019, by and among the Reporting Persons and the Issuer.
