CUSIP No. 007800 10 5
The following constitutes Amendment No. 29 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 29”). This Amendment No. 29 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On April 26, 2022, Warren Lichtenstein issued an open letter to shareholders of the Issuer expressing his serious concerns that Eileen Drake, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, is pursuing a self-serving and unjustifiable takeover of the Board by way of a purported special meeting of shareholders of the Issuer she is seeking to call (the “Special Meeting”). In the letter, Mr. Lichtenstein contends that Ms. Drake is trying to take control of the Issuer without providing shareholders the opportunity to see evidence against her at the Trial in May over her alleged misuse of company resources to advance her personal interests in violation of Delaware law and the TRO entered by the Delaware Court. Mr. Lichtenstein has proposed holding the Annual Meeting on June 27, 2022, within one week of the date that Ms. Drake is proposing for her Special Meeting, provided that the Trial concludes on May 27, 2022. This would allow shareholders to make a fully informed decision on the future leadership of the Issuer based on any further violations of the law and failures to comply with the TRO by Ms. Drake that may be exposed at the Trial. In the letter, Mr. Lichtenstein discusses why he believes handing control to Ms. Drake would place shareholders at grave risk and trigger costly change-in-control provisions, including with respect to costumer contracts, lender covenants and her own employment agreement. He also lists Ms. Drake’s numerous failures as the Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer, including poor contingency planning, unacceptable underperformance, unprofessional threats to other Board members, employee attrition issues, weak alignment with shareholders and dissemination of false and misleading information. A copy of the press release and open letter to shareholders is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On April 27, 2022, SPHG Holdings and Warren Lichtenstein filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California naming as defendants Eileen Drake, Kevin Chilton, Thomas Corcoran, Lance Lord, Gail Baker, Marion Blakey, Charles Bolden and Deborah Lee James (“Defendants”). The Defendants have recently filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC (the “Special Meeting Proxy”) seeking to call Ms. Drake’s purported Special Meeting. The Complaint alleges that the Special Meeting Proxy, and other materials disseminated by the Defendants to the Issuer’s shareholders, contain false and misleading statements in violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 14a-9. The Complaint seeks injunctive and declaratory relief. A copy of the Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On April 27, 2022, Warren Lichtenstein issued a press release announcing the filing of the Complaint and commenting on the Complaint’s allegations regarding Ms. Drake’s ongoing efforts to mislead shareholders in violation of federal securities laws and her attempt to orchestrate a self-serving Board coup at her purported Special Meeting.
