The following constitutes Amendment No. 17 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 17”). This Amendment No. 17 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On May 20, 2020, FUNC filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Garrett County Maryland (the “Garrett County Complaint”) seeking a declaratory judgment that Reporting Persons were prohibited from voting their shares of Common Stock and nominating candidates for election to director.

On September 4, 2020, the Partnership filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “Federal Complaint”) against FUNC and the members of FUNC’s board of directors (the “Director Defendants”) alleging that, among other things, the Director Defendants had breached the fiduciary duties owed to the Partnership. A copy of the Federal Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

  

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

   

 

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:
