Item 4 is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

Mario Gabelli serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.  As disclosed in Item 1 above, Mr. Gabelli is also deemed to be the control person of the Issuer.  Because of the foregoing, the Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time in the ordinary course of performing their roles relating to the Issuer or as investors in the Issuer may propose or take action in relation to the business of the Issuer including: changes in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; the business and operations of the Issuer; share repurchases by the Issuer; distributions by the Issuer, including the amounts, makeup and timing thereof; the terms of any new issuances of an existing or new class of securities by the Issuer; sales of assets; changes in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; and any such other matters.  Any such proposals or actions by the Reporting Persons may be based on the Reporting Persons’ views of their best interest, their obligations to the Issuer (to the extent required by applicable law or agreement), and other factors in light of (i) the Issuer’s financial position, future actions taken by the Issuer’s Board, price levels of the common stock or other equity or debt securities of the Issuer and (ii) general economic, political, or industry conditions, including conditions in the securities market, or changes in laws, rules, regulations or customs, and any other conditions or changes thereto, in the Reporting Persons’ sole determination.  In as much as none of these proposals or activities would represent a material change in the plans of the Reporting Persons regarding their control over the Issuer, the Reporting Persons will not file amendments to this Schedule 13D reflective thereof.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending on various factors the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their investment decision, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, the price levels of the Issuer’s common stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may decide to acquire additional securities, sell some or all of their securities, or to continue to hold their existing position in the securities for investment.

Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which related to or would result in any transaction, change or event specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5 is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares by each of the Reporting Persons.  However, this table ignores the fact that the 599,943 Convertible Class B Shares may be exchanged for Class A Shares so as to reflect the total voting power of the Reporting Persons, as the Class B Shares have ten votes per share and the Class A Shares have only one vote per share.  The percentages of beneficial ownership below are based upon 8,409,985 Class A Shares and 19,024,117 Class B Shares outstanding as December 17, 2020, as provided by the Issuer.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
