Director Appointment

On January 13 2022, Mr. Porter was invited to serve as a member of the board of directors of the Issuer and accepted that invitation. In connection with his appointment to the board of directors, Mr. Porter entered into a director agreement (the Director Agreement) with the Issuer pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Porter agreed to certain restrictions on trading in the Issuers securities. In addition, as compensation for his service as a director of the Issuer, Mr. Porter will receive 50% of his director compensation in the form of restricted stock units.

The foregoing description of the Director Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Director Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuers business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuers securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

Subject to the terms of the Director Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons, including Mr. Porter in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, securityholders of the Issuer, and other relevant parties, or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Common Shares; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or distribution policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuers business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors. To facilitate their consideration of such matters, the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible courses of action before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.

CUSIP No. 29287R103		13D		Page 6 of 8 pages

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) (b)

The following sets forth, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of Common Shares and percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, as well as the number of Common Shares as to which each Reporting Person has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, as of the date hereof, based on 15,543,309 Common Shares outstanding as of August 31, 2021.

 

Reporting Person		Amount beneficially owned				Percent of class				Sole power to vote or to direct the vote				Shared power to vote or to direct the vote				Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition				Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition
Stuart D. Porter			2,196,400				9.9	%			0				2,196,400				0				2,196,400
Three Curve Holding Corporation			2,196,400				9.9	%			0				2,196,400				0				2,196,400
Three Curve Capital LP			2,196,400				9.9	%			0				2,196,400				0				2,196,400

The amounts reflected in the table above consists of (i) 679,734 Common Shares held of record by Mr. Porter, (ii) 866,666 Common Shares held of record by Three Curve LP, and (iii) 650,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant held of record by Three Curve LP.

Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, Three Curve LP may exercise the warrant only to the extent that doing so would not result in the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owners of more than 9.9% of the then-outstanding Common Shares, after accounting for the Common Shares to be issued at the time of any such warrant exercise.

Mr. Porter is the sole shareholder of Three Curve Holding Corporation, which is the general partner of Three Curve LP. As such, each of the foregoing entities and Mr. Porter may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the securities held of record by Mr. Porter and Three Curve LP. Each of them disclaims any such beneficial ownership.

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 above, during the past 60 days none of the Reporting Persons or Related Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Shares.
