This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on March 5, 2009, as previously amended on December 12, 2012, September 13, 2013 and September 20, 2013 (the “Schedule 13D”) by Oakmont Capital Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Oakmont”), E.J.K. Holdings Inc., an Ontario corporation (“EJK”), 1272562 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“1272562”), and Gregory P. Hannon and Terence M. Kavanagh, each of whom are citizens of Canada (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). Capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. All references to common shares in this Amendment have been adjusted for the rights offering which expired on September 6, 2013 (the “Rights Offering”).

 

ITEM 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following:

 

In addition, in connection with the previously announced Rights Offering, the Reporting Persons have received 381,250 Series B Warrants of the Issuer. Each such warrant entitles the Reporting Persons to purchase one Share. The terms and conditions of the Series B Warrants are set forth in the previously filed Common Stock Series B Warrant Agreement. On September 14, 2014, Oakmont exercised the previously reported 381,250 Series A Warrants to purchase the same number of Shares at a price of US$4.50 per Share, or an aggregate purchase price of US$1,715,625.

 

In addition, on February 3, 2014, Oakmont purchased 13,143 Class A Preferred Shares, Series 1, and 82,144 Series C Warrants from the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of US$328,575. Each Preferred Share is convertible into 6.25 Shares (or an aggregate of 82,143 Shares for such 13,143 Preferred Shares) at a conversion price of US$4.00 per share. On July 8, 2014, the Series C Warrants were automatically exchanged with the Issuer for the same number of Series B Warrants. As a result, Oakmont currently owns 463,394 Series B Warrants.
