Explanatory Note

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 8 (“Amendment No. 8”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on March 4, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed March 1, 2018, Amendment No. 2 filed February 8, 2019, Amendment No. 3 filed June 7, 2019, Amendment No. 4 filed December 13, 2019, Amendment No. 5 filed March 1, 2021, Amendment No. 6 filed March 29, 2022, and Amendment No. 7 filed May 31, 2022. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 8 shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following information:

This Amendment No. 8 is being filed to report that, as of January 16, 2023 (the “Report Date”), the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership percentage of the Issuer’s Common Stock class of securities increased from 12.7% to 13.9%. The change resulted from decreases in the number of the Issuer’s outstanding shares as well as increases in the Reporting Person’s beneficial holdings due to the vesting of 27,500 options on each of January 15, 2023 and January 16, 2023.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The ownership percentage set forth herein as of January 16, 2023 is based on 8,598,682 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 16, 2023 plus 412,500 shares of Common Stock representing the Reporting Person’s vested options to purchase 110,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share, expiring January 7, 2027; vested options to purchase 110,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $40.00 per share, expiring February 8, 2028; vested options to purchase 110,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $53.00 per share, expiring January 15, 2029; and vested options to purchase 82,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $48.00 per share, expiring January 16, 2030, representing a total of 9,011,182 shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding for purposes of calculating the Reporting Person’s ownership percentage as of January 16, 2023.

 

(a) As of January 16, 2023, the Reporting Person directly owned (jointly with spouse) 447,000 shares of Common Stock, directly owned (personally) 333,000 shares of Common Stock, and directly owned 20,000 Restricted Shares (all of which the Reporting Person may vote and receive dividends and other distributions but may not assign, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise alienate or hypothecate). The Reporting Person indirectly owned (via his IRA) 37,500 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person beneficially owned 412,500 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of vested options. The Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person represented 13.9% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 16, 2023.

 

(b) The Reporting Person has and will continue to have the sole power to vote 817,500 shares of Common Stock (447,000 of which such power is jointly held with spouse), 20,000 Restricted Shares, and 412,500 shares of Common Stock if and when the Reporting Person exercises the vested options. The Reporting Person has the sole power to dispose of 817,500 shares of Common Stock and 412,500 shares of Common Stock if and when the Reporting Person exercises the vested options. The Reporting Person, upon the vesting of all 20,000 Restricted Shares, will have the sole power to dispose of such 20,000 Restricted Shares, in addition to the Common Stock held directly by him and the shares issuable upon exercise of the vested options as set forth immediately above.

 

(c) The information set forth in Item 3 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c).
