Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Prior Statements remains unchanged.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Prior Statements is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) - (c) and (f)

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly, pursuant to a second amended and restated joint filing agreement, by (i) Oaktree, a Delaware limited partnership and a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, whose principal business is to provide investment advisory services to investment funds and accounts; (ii) Oaktree Capital Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (OCM GP LLC), whose principal business is to serve as, and perform the functions of, the general partner of Oaktree; (iii) Atlas OCM Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Atlas OCM Holdings), whose principal business is to act as the holding company and controlling entity of each of the general partner and investment adviser of certain investment funds and separately managed accounts; (iv) Oaktree Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (OCG), whose principal business is to act as the holding company and controlling entity of the general partner of certain investment funds and separately managed accounts; (v) Oaktree Capital I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (Oaktree Capital I), whose principal business is to serve as, and perform the functions of, the general partner of Oaktree Fund GP I, L.P. and to invest in securities; (vi) OCM Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Holdings I), whose principal business is to serve as, and perform the functions of, the general partner of Oaktree Capital I and to hold limited partnership interests in Oaktree Capital I; and (vii) Oaktree Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Holdings and, together with Oaktree, OCM GP LLC, Atlas OCM Holdings, OCG, Oaktree Capital I and Holdings I, the Reporting Persons), whose principal business is to serve as, and perform the functions of, the managing member of Holdings I.

The Reporting Persons have entered into a second amended and restated joint filing agreement, dated as of November 27, 2019, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

Set forth in the attached Annex A is a listing of the directors, executive officers, investment managers, managers, members and general partners, as applicable, of each Reporting Person (collectively, the Covered Persons), and Annex A is incorporated by reference into this Item 2. Except as set forth in Annex A, each of the Covered Persons that is a natural person is a United States citizen.

The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons and each Covered Person is c/o Oaktree Capital Group, LLC, 333 South Grand Avenue, 28th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071.

(d) and (e)

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the best of their knowledge, none of the Covered Persons: (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a) 5(c) of the Prior Statements are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

As a result of the Voting Agreement described in Item 6 of the Original Statement and Item 3 of Amendment No. 2 among Oaktree and the Tannenbaum Stockholders, Oaktree may be deemed to be beneficially own 21,873,884, or approximately 15.5%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, which shares of Common Stock are held by the Tannenbaum Stockholders (the Tannenbaum Shares).


CUSIP No. 67401P 108    13D    Page 10 of 13 Pages

 

As a result of Oaktree Capital I purchasing 276,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market (the Oaktree Shares), Oaktree Capital I may be deemed to beneficially own 276,000, or approximately 0.2%, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

OCM GP LLC, in its capacity as the general partner of Oaktree, has the ability to direct the management of Oaktree, including the power to direct the decisions of Oaktree regarding the voting and disposition of securities beneficially owned by Oaktree. Therefore, OCM GP LLC may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Tannenbaum Shares.

Atlas OCM LLC, in its capacity as the sole managing member of OCM GP LLC, has the ability to direct the management of OCM GP LLC, including the power to direct the decisions of OCM GP LLC regarding the voting and disposition of securities beneficially owned by OCM GP LLC. Therefore, Atlas OCM LLC may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Tannenbaum Shares. Atlas OCM LLC is managed by its ten member board of directors.

Holdings I, in its capacity as the general partner of Oaktree Capital I, has the ability to direct the management of Oaktree Capital Is business, including the power to direct the decisions of Oaktree Capital I regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Oaktree Capital I. Therefore, Holdings I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Oaktree Shares.

Holdings, in its capacity as the managing member of Holdings I, has the ability to direct the management of Holding Is business, including the power to direct the decisions of Holdings I regarding the voting and disposition of securities beneficially owned by Holdings I. Therefore, Holdings may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Oaktree Shares.

OCG, in its capacity as managing member of Holdings, has the ability to direct the management of Holdings business, including the power to direct the decisions of Holdings regarding the voting and disposition of securities beneficially owned by Holdings. Therefore, OCG may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Oaktree Shares. OCG is managed by its ten member board of directors.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock referred to herein for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

To the actual knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Covered Persons directly owns any shares of Common Stock, other than John B. Frank, who beneficially owns 53,634 shares of Common Stock (of which (i) 28,784 shares are held directly by Mr. Frank and (ii) 24,850 shares are held by a member of Mr. Franks family and he may be deemed to have voting and/or investment power with respect to, but he has no pecuniary interest in, such shares); provided, however, that because of each Covered Persons status as an investment manager, manager, general partner, director, executive officer or member of a Reporting Person, a Covered Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person. Each of the Covered Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such Covered Person is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement, other than Mr. Frank with respect to shares of Common Stock directly owned by him.

 

Item 7.

Materials to be Filed as Exhibits

Exhibit 1 of Amendment No. 2 is replaced with the Second Amended and Restated Joint Filing Agreement, by and among the Reporting Persons, dated as of November 27, 2019, filed with this Amendment No. 3.
