The following constitutes Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 10”). This Amendment No. 10 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

Effective January 27, 2021, Shannon M. Johnson withdrew herself as a nominee for election to the Issuer’s Board of Directors at the Issuer’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In connection with such withdrawal, Ms. Johnson will no longer be a member of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be a Reporting Person immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing as a group statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)(b) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover page to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Securities, and percentage of the outstanding Securities, beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, respectively. See rows (7) through (10) of the cover page to this Schedule 13D for the number of Securities as to which the Reporting Persons have the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote of and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of.

The aggregate percentage of Securities reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon (i) 2,776,971 shares of Series F Preferred Stock outstanding, (ii) 4,341,723 shares of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding, (iii) 2,578,417 shares of Series H Preferred Stock outstanding, and (iv) 3,268,504 shares of Series I Preferred Stock outstanding as of January 22, 2021, as set forth on the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-11 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2021.

(c)       The Reporting Persons have not entered into any transactions in the Securities since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer that he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein that he, she or it does not directly own.

Item 6.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

As of the close of business on January 28, 2021, the Reporting Persons owned in the aggregate 1,618,998 shares of Common Stock, including 40,000 shares of Common Stock underlying certain call options purchased in the open market (representing less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) and 83,886 shares of the Issuer’s Series D Preferred Stock (representing less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock).
