The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 2”). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares reported herein were purchased with the working capital of the Investment Vehicles (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 6,710,074 Shares held in the aggregate by the Investment Vehicles is approximately $76,492,494, including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), (c) and (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 153,184,099 Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2022, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2022.

As of the close of business on October 27, 2022, each of Scopia Capital, Scopia Management and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich may be deemed to beneficially own the 6,710,074 Shares, constituting approximately 4.4% of the Shares outstanding, held in the aggregate by the Investment Vehicles.

The Investment Vehicles have delegated to Scopia Capital sole voting and investment power over the securities held by the Investment Vehicles pursuant to their respective Investment Management Agreements with Scopia Capital. As a result, each of Scopia Capital, Scopia Management, as the general partner of Scopia Capital, and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich, as Managing Directors of Scopia Management, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over the Shares directly held by the Investment Vehicles. The Investment Vehicles specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer directly held by them by virtue of their inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of their respective Investment Management Agreements with Scopia Capital.

(c)       Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of the Investment Vehicles) during the past 60 days. All of such transactions were effected in the open market unless otherwise noted therein.

(e)       As of October 24, 2022, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding Shares.

SIGNATURES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
