AMENDMENT NO 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Indaba Capital Management, L.P. (the “Investment Manager”), IC GP, LLC (“IC GP”) and Derek C. Schrier (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on December 15, 2020. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The source of the funds used to acquire the shares of Common Stock reported herein is the working capital of the Fund, which at any given time may include funds borrowed on margin in the ordinary course of business and on customary terms.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) – (b)  The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.  As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 2,754,494 shares of Common Stock, which shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of the Investment Manager, IC GP and Mr. Schrier, and which represent approximately 8.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. All percentages set forth herein are based on 32,201,280 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 6, 2020, as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2020.

In addition, the Fund holds $50,681,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 1.25% convertible senior notes due December 15, 2023 (the “Senior Notes”).  As the Issuer has the option, at its discretion, to settle conversions of the Senior Notes in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, the Reporting Persons are not deemed to be beneficial owners of any shares of Common Stock underlying the Senior Notes as the Reporting Persons do not have the right to acquire such underlying shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement, the Fund and its general partner have delegated all voting and investment power over the securities of the Issuer directly held by the Fund to the Investment Manager. As a result, each of the Investment Manager, IC GP, as the general partner of Investment Manager, and Mr. Schrier, as Managing Member of IC GP, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over the securities of the Issuer directly held by the Fund. The Fund specifically

disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer directly held by it by virtue of its inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of such delegation to the Investment Manager.

(c) Except as previously disclosed in this Schedule 13D, information concerning transactions in the shares of Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons on behalf of the Fund during the past sixty days is set forth in Schedule I hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 (d) Not applicable.

 (e) Not applicable.

SIGNATURES

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

Date: January 4, 2021
