AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D
The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Prescott
Group Capital Management, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Prescott Capital”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P., an Oklahoma
limited partnership (“Prescott Small Cap II”, and, together with Prescott Small Cap, the “Small Cap Funds”), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P., an Oklahoma general partnership (“Master Fund”) and Phil Frohlich, the principal of
Prescott Capital, relating to Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Performant Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) on March 26, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 26, 2020.
This Amendment No. 2 relates to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held in the account of the Master Fund, of which the Small Cap Funds are general
partners. Prescott Capital serves as the general partner and investment manager of the Small Cap Funds and may direct the Small Cap Funds, the general partners of the Master Fund, to direct the vote and disposition of the 12,545,261 shares of Common
Stock held by the Master Fund. As the principal of Prescott Capital, Mr. Frohlich may direct the vote and disposition of the 12,545,261 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended.
Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction |
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
Prescott Capital delivered a Confidentiality Agreement Termination Notice to the Issuer, dated June 2, 2021, to effectuate the termination of the
previously disclosed Amended Agreement and the Issuer confirmed the termination of the Amended Agreement effective as of June 2, 2021.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future
depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s Board, price levels of the Issuer’s securities, other investment opportunities available to the
Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. These actions may include: (i) acquiring additional shares
of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing
of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 of Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows:
(a) and (b) Items 7 through 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. Such information is based on
55,249,883 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 14, 2021, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2021.
As of June 3, 2021, the Master Fund directly held and beneficially owned 12,545,261 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
22.7% of the outstanding Common Stock. As general partners of the Master Fund, the Small Cap Funds may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund. As the general partner of the Small Cap Funds, Prescott Capital
may also be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund. As managing member of Prescott Capital, Phil Frohlich may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund.
The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as admission that any of Prescott Capital, the Small Cap Funds or Mr. Frohlich is for
the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 12,545,261 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund and pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Prescott Capital, the Small Cap Funds
and Mr. Frohlich disclaim all such beneficial ownership.
(c) There have been no transactions by the Reporting Persons in the class of securities reported on that were effected within the past 60 days.
(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds
from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |

The information in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.
