The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 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 to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by AREX Capital Master and held in the AREX Managed Accounts were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,075,000 Shares beneficially owned by AREX Capital Master is $ 6,779,898, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,203,332 Shares held in the AREX Managed Accounts is approximately $7,858,715, including brokerage commissions.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On April 15, 2020, the Reporting Persons entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Issuer regarding the composition of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) and certain other matters. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Issuer agreed to, among other things, as promptly as practical following the date of the Agreement, but in no event later than five days following the date of the Agreement, have its Nominating and Governance Committee take all necessary action to (i) increase the size of the Board by two director seats and appoint Ronald Garriques and Edward Terino (the “New Directors”) to the Board, and (ii) Include each New Director on the slate of nominees recommended by the Board in the Issuer’s proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) and any special meeting of stockholders that occurs during the Standstill Period (as defined below). In addition, no later than (a) May 1, 2020, or (b) the earlier first meeting of the applicable Board committee following the date of the Agreement, either one or both of the New Directors shall be appointed to each of the three standing committees of the Board such that the New Directors shall constitute at least one-fourth of the members of such committee during the Standstill Period, as well as any non-standing committee in place as of the date of the Agreement and any new committee of the Board that may be established after such date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, during the Standstill Period, the Reporting Persons agreed to, among other things, vote all Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (i) in favor of all directors nominated by the Board for election at any such meeting and (ii) consistent with the recommendation of the Board on all other matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Issuer; provided, however, that in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) both recommend otherwise than the Board with respect to any proposal submitted by the Issuer or any of its stockholders (other than proposals relating to the election of directors, “say-on-pay” and the appointment of registered public accountants), the Reporting Persons will be permitted in their discretion to vote in accordance with the recommendation of ISS and Glass Lewis or, if their recommendations differ from each other, in accordance with ISS’ or Glass Lewis’ recommendation; provided, further, that the Reporting Persons will be permitted to vote in their discretion on any proposal in respect of an “Extraordinary Transaction” or any vote regarding a stockholders’ rights plan.

7

The Reporting Persons agreed to certain customary standstill provisions, effective as of the date of the Agreement until the earlier of (i) fifteen business days prior to the deadline under the Issuer’s Bylaws for director nominations and stockholder proposals for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) the consummation of an Extraordinary Transaction, or (iii) the date the agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms (the “Standstill Period”). The standstill provisions generally restrict the ability of Reporting Persons to engage in proxy solicitations, make stockholder proposals, call meetings of stockholders or solicit consents from stockholders, obtain additional representation on the Board and seek to remove any of the Issuer’s directors. Also, under the standstill provisions, the Reporting Persons have agreed not to enter into any transaction that would result in (a) the Reporting Persons owning, controlling or otherwise having any beneficial ownership or other ownership interest in more than 9.99% of the Shares outstanding at such time or (b) a “Third Party” owning, controlling or otherwise having any beneficial or other ownership interest in the aggregate of more than 4.99% of the Shares outstanding at such time, subject to certain exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
