The following constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 5”). This Amendment No. 5 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 owned by the Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,039,000 Shares beneficially owned by the Fund is approximately $1,849,420, excluding 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 Reporting Person is based upon 20,783,032 Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2016, 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 11, 2016.
 
As of the close of business on September 21, 2016, the Fund beneficially owned 1,039,000 Shares, constituting approximately 4.99% of the outstanding Shares. Each of Radix, as the general partner of the Fund, and Mr. Tanger and Mr. Packwood, as the co-managing members of Radix, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by the Fund.
 
Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any Shares other than the Shares owned directly by such Reporting Person.
 
(b)           The Fund, Radix, Mr. Tanger and Mr. Packwood have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 1,039,000 Shares held by the Fund.
 
(c)            The transactions in the Shares on behalf of the Fund during the past sixty days are set forth in Schedule A and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
(e)           The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Shares as of September 21, 2016.
