CUSIP NO. 30049R209

SCHEDULE 13D/A

 

Preliminary Note. Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Act, this amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 5”) amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 27, 2017 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended on June 13, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”), August 3, 2017 (“Amendment No. 2”), November 13, 2017 (“Amendment No. 3”) and November 28, 2017 (“Amendment No. 4”). The Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No.1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4 and this Amendment No. 5 are collectively referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D”. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings given them in the Original Schedule 13D (as amended). The Original Schedule 13D (as amended) remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 5.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The first paragraph of the response to Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

As of November 28, 2017, the Reporting Person had purchased an aggregate of 1,250,000 Shares over the course of various prior purchases totaling approximately $5.8 million. As of March 22, 2021, the Reporting Person has sold 251,100 such Shares, as described in Item 5 of this Amendment No. 5.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The first and second paragraphs of the response to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

 

The Reporting Person acquired the Shares because it believed the Shares were, at the time of purchase by the Reporting Person, undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Person’s representatives (which includes employees of Kokino and Kokino’s advisers) may have discussions with the Issuer’s representatives (including its board of directors and management) regarding topics including: (1) the Issuer’s strategy, governance, business and operations and (2) improving the performance of the Issuer’s stock. In addition, the Reporting Person may engage in communications regarding items (1) and (2) above with other stockholders of the Issuer, knowledgeable industry or market observers, industry participants, or other persons.

 

The Reporting Person reviews its investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis. The Reporting Person may take a number of actions to maximize the value of its investment, including decreasing the size of its remaining investment in the Issuer. The actions taken by the Reporting Person to maximize the value of its investment will depend upon numerous factors, including, among other things, the price and availability of securities of the Issuer; subsequent developments affecting the Issuer; the Issuer’s business and prospects; general stock market and money market and economic conditions; tax considerations; ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations, prospects and strategic alternatives; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; the attitudes and actions of the board of directors and management of the Issuer; and other factors deemed relevant.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The response to Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

		Shares Beneficially Owned by Reporting Person1	Percent of Class2
(a) and (b)	Sole Voting Power	998,900	8.1%
	Shared Voting Power	-0-	0%
	Sole Dispositive Power	998,900	8.1%

(c)

The following table sets forth all transactions in the Shares effected by the Reporting Person during the sixty days preceding the filing of this Amendment No. 5. All such transactions were effected in the open market through one or more brokerage entities, and the reported price per share excludes brokerage commissions. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide upon request by the SEC staff full information regarding the number of Shares purchased or sold at each separate price.

 

Trade Date	Shares Purchased (Sold)	Weighted Average Price Per Share ($)	Maximum Price ($)	Minimum Price ($)
3/18/21	(251,100)	$5.28	$5.62	$5.01

 

¹        The Reporting Person is a pooled investment vehicle formed for the benefit of a single family and certain “key employees” (as defined in Investment Advisers Act Rule 202(a)(11)(G)-1 (the “Family Office Rule”)) of Kokino. The Reporting Person is managed by its managing member, PCM. PCM is in turn managed by its managing member, Kokino. Additionally, Kokino is the trading manager of the Reporting Person, and in that capacity Kokino acts on behalf of the Reporting Person as an agent. Robert Averick, in his capacity as an employee of Kokino, manages the Reporting Person’s investment in the Shares. Mr. Averick holds an economic interest in Piton (which interest may be held directly and, from time to time, indirectly through PCM). PCM and Kokino are each a “family office” (as defined in the Family Office Rule) of the same family, and any voting power or investment power PCM, Kokino or Mr. Averick may hold over the Shares is ultimately attributed to the Reporting Person.

²        This calculation is rounded down to the nearest tenth and is based upon 12,258,184 Shares outstanding, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 17, 2021 (File No. 001-34261).
