The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
A total of approximately $20,825,185 was paid to acquire the Shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. The funds used to purchase these securities were obtained from the general working capital of the Domestic Fund, the Offshore Fund and Cheval and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business, although the Reporting Persons cannot determine whether any funds allocated to purchase such securities were obtained from any margin account borrowings.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
As reported in the Issuer’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, holders of the Issuer’s outstanding convertible notes issued in 2018 and 2019, including Cheval, are entitled to convert the principal and unpaid interest on such notes into shares of common stock as a result of the Issuer’s completion of a “Non-Qualified Financing” as defined in such notes. On April 2, 2020, Cheval notified the Issuer of its exercise of such conversion rights under its 2018 convertible note.1 Pursuant to the exemption from registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, the Issuer issued 1,583,333 shares to Cheval. Please see Item 5 herein for the Reporting Persons’ updated holdings.”
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Sub-clause (a) of Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(a)            The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon approximately 121,468,306 Shares outstanding as of April 6, 2020, as reported in the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2020.
As of the date hereof, the Domestic Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 5,996,710 Shares, the Offshore Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 13,997,832 Shares and Cheval may be deemed to beneficially own 49,636,917 Shares, constituting approximately 4.9%, 11.5% and 40.9%, respectively, of the outstanding Shares.
BH Management, by virtue of its relationships with Domestic Fund and Cheval discussed in further detail in Item 2, may be deemed to beneficially own the 55,633,627 Shares beneficially owned by the Domestic Fund and Cheval, constituting approximately 45.8% of the outstanding Shares.
Mr. Chappell, by virtue of his relationships with the Domestic Fund, the Offshore Fund and Cheval discussed in further detail in Item 2, may be deemed to beneficially own the 69,631,459 Shares owned by each of the Domestic Fund, the Offshore Fund and Cheval, constituting approximately 57.3% of the outstanding Shares.”
Sub-clause (c) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(c)            As described in further detail in Item 4 of Amendment No. 3, on April 2, 2020, the Issuer issued to Cheval 1,583,333 Shares with respect to Cheval’s conversion of its 2018 convertible note. There were no other transactions effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.”

1While the Issuer disclosed on its Current Report on 8-K filed with the Commission on April 6, 2020 that the 2018 and 2019 convertible notes first became convertible as of December 11, 2019, the Reporting Persons only became of their ability to convert in early April 2020.  Upon notice of their ability to convert, the Reporting Persons elected to do so and promptly filed this Amendment No. 3 in connection therewith.

SIGNATURES
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information with respect to it set forth in this statement is true, complete, and correct.
