The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
All of the Shares to which this Statement relates were purchased on behalf of the Reporting Persons
using the investment capital of the respective Reporting Person. The aggregate amount of funds used for the purchase of the securities held by the Reporting Persons was approximately $10,135,263, including commissions.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 to the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) – (b) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 36,032,095 Shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 3, 2021, which is the
total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2021.
As of the date hereof, International beneficially owned 1,767,193 Shares, constituting 4.9% of the Shares
outstanding. By virtue of their relationship with International discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Partners and GP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned directly by International. By virtue of its relationship with
Partners discussed in further detail in Item 2, Management may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned directly by International. By virtue of its relationship with Partners discussed in further detail in Item 2, Caraway may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned directly by International. By virtue of his relationship with each of Management, GP and Caraway discussed in further detail in Item 2, Mr. Samaha may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares
owned by International. International and Mr. Samaha have shared voting and dispositive power over the Shares of Common Stock directly held by International.
As of the date hereof,
the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 1,767,193 Shares, constituting approximately 4.9% of the outstanding Shares. Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial
ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
(c) The Reporting Persons have not entered into any transactions in the Common
Stock during the past sixty days, except (i) as set forth on Schedule A hereto.
(d) No Person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Shares that may be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e) The Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than five percent (5%) of the Common Stock May 27, 2021.
