Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:

 

(a)                   The information set forth on the cover page of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, Mr. Rabin beneficially owns an aggregate of 4,588,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock.

 

Excluded from Mr. Rabins beneficial ownership are 3,580,600 shares of Common Stock underlying restricted stock units of the Company (RSUs) and 500,000 shares of Common Stock underlying performance stock units of the Company (PSUs).

 

Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting. The RSUs are eligible to vest as follows:

 

·                                1,230,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs will vest in full upon December 31, 2020;

33.33% of the PSUs will vest on each of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The PSUs will vest based on the Companys selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses being below a certain target amount for each fiscal year in which the PSUs are scheduled to vest.  The Company has not confirmed if the PSU targets have been met for 2019.

 

(b)                   The information set forth on the cover page of this Amendment and Item 5(a) hereof is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, Mr. Rabin holds sole dispositive and voting power over an aggregate of 4,588,000 shares of the Common Stock, consisting of all of the shares identified in Item 5(a) hereof, excluding the RSUs and PSUs identified therein.

During the past 60 days, on December 31, 2019, 1,230,000 shares of Common Stock underlying certain RSUs vested and were issued to Mr. Rabin for no additional consideration.

 

(d)                   To the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, no person other than the Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Person identified in this Item 5.
