The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D, as amended by amendments 1 and 2 as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background.   Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

This Statement is being filed by David Sandberg, the controlling member of Red Oak Partners, which manages each of Red Oak Fund, Red Oak Long Fund and Red Oak Founders Fund (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are private investment vehicles formed for the purpose of investing and trading in a wide variety of securities and financial instruments. The Funds directly own the shares as reported in this Statement.  Each of the filers hereto disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares other than shares owned directly by such filer.

 

The principal office or business address of the Funds, Red Oak Partners and David Sandberg is 95 S. Federal Hwy, Suite 201, Boca Raton, FL 33432.

 

(d)-(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) 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 4.

Purpose of Transaction.   Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

The Reporting Persons will review their investments in the Common Stock from time to time, and, subject to applicable law and regulation and depending upon certain factors, including, without limitation, the financial performance of the Issuer, the availability and price of the Common Stock or other securities related to the Issuer, and other general market and investment conditions, the Reporting Persons may determine to:

 

·

acquire additional Common Stock through open market purchases or otherwise;

 

·

sell Common Stock through the open market or otherwise; or

 

 

·

otherwise engage or participate in a transaction with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company.

 

Such transactions may take place at any time and without prior notice.  There can be no assurance, however, that any Reporting Person will take any such actions.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.   Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)       The aggregate percentage of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock reported owned by each Reporting Person is based on 8,352,253 shares of common stock outstanding at June 4, 2020, as reported by the Issuer on its Form DEF 14A, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12, 2020. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock other than the shares owned directly and of record by such Reporting Person.

 

Red Oak Partners beneficially owns 496,789 shares of Common Stock, representing 5.9% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Funds are each controlled by Red Oak Partners. Therefore, Red Oak Partners may be deemed to beneficially own (i) the 234,362 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Fund, (ii) the 203,637 shares of Common Stock held by Red Oak Founders Fund, and (iii) the 58,790 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Long Fund.

Red Oak Founders Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 203,637 shares of Common Stock, representing 2.4% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Red Oak Long Fund may be deemed to beneficially own 58,790 shares of Common Stock, representing less than 1% of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b)       Each of Red Oak Partners and Mr. Sandberg may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to (i) the 234,362 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Fund, (ii) the 203,637 shares of Common Stock held by Red Oak Founders Fund, and (iii) the 58,790 shares of Common Stock held by the Red Oak Long Fund.
