of Class A Common Stock directly held by the Funds were purchased with the working capital of the Funds.
ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
On June 30, 2022, Kennedy Lewis Investment Management
delivered a Non-Binding Proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) in respect of a potential offer by one or more funds advised by the Adviser to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer at a price per Share equal to $5.00 in cash. Kennedy Lewis Investment
Management has not proposed any specific structure for the transaction nor has it received any feedback from the Issuer.
The Proposal is non-binding in nature, constitutes a preliminary inquiry and does not obligate in any way Kennedy Lewis Investment Management, the Reporting Persons or the Issuer to negotiate or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Proposal. The foregoing description of the Proposal
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposal, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Neither the Proposal nor this Schedule 13D is meant to be, nor should be construed as, an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to
sell any of the Issuer’s securities.
The Reporting Persons acquired the Class A Common Stock and the Warrants (as defined below) for investment purposes due in part to their continuing belief that the Class A Common Stock is undervalued. The Reporting Persons intend to have discussions with members of the Issuer’s
management and members of the Issuer’s Board regarding the Proposal. The Reporting Persons may also from time to time have further discussions with directors and officers of the Issuer, or discussions with other shareholders or third parties
regarding the Issuer’s business operations, strategies, capital structure, assets, liabilities and other matters related to the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may engage in a number of conversations that may relate to one or more of the items in
subsections (a) through (j). The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
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 response to the Proposal, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board (to the extent public), 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 Class A Common Stock and/or other equity, notes, other securities, derivatives or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer, or any debt of
the Issuer or its affiliates, irrespective of whether it is a security (collectively, “Instruments”) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Instruments in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or
similar transactions with respect to the Instruments; 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 |
(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 36,389,073 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of April 30, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2022. The shares of Class A Common
Stock include the 239,130 shares issuable to Master Fund II upon the exercise of warrants.
The Funds delegated to the Adviser voting and investment power over the securities held by the Funds pursuant to an Investment Management
Agreement with the Funds. As a result, each of the Adviser, KLM, as the general partner of the Adviser, Kennedy Lewis Investment Management, as the owner of KLM, and Messrs. Richman and Chene, as managing members and control persons of Kennedy Lewis
Investment Management, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over the shares of Class A Common Stock directly held by the Funds. Each of the Funds may be deemed the beneficial owners of the Class A Common Stock, including the shares
underlying the warrants such Fund holds. Fund II GP, as general partner of Master Fund II and Holdings II, as managing member of Fund II GP, may be deemed beneficial owners of the Class A Common Stock (including shares underlying the warrants) held
by Master Fund II. Fund III GP, as general partner of Master Fund III and Holdings II, as managing member of Fund III GP, may be deemed beneficial owners of the Class A Common Stock held by Master Fund III.
(c) Information concerning transactions in the shares of Class A Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons on behalf of the Funds
during the past sixty days is set forth in Schedule I hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
(d) The disclosure regarding the relationship between the Reporting Persons in Item 2(c) of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference
herein. All securities reported in this Schedule 13D are directly held by the Funds, investment management clients of the Adviser. The investors in the Funds have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale
of, the shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Funds in accordance with their respective investment percentages in the Funds.
(e) Not applicable.
ITEM 6. | CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
On May 14, 2020, the Issuer entered into a loan and security
agreement with the Adviser and the lenders party thereto pursuant to which the Issuer issued to Master Fund II a total of 239,130 warrants (the “Warrants”). The
Warrants have an exercise price of $5.75 per share and will expire on May 14, 2030.
