The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") to the 13D filed by the undersigned on November 14, 2022 (the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 14, 2023, Star Equity Fund issued a press release announcing its nomination of Hannah M. Bible, Bashara C. Boyd, Richard K Coleman, Jr., John W. Gildea, Robert C. Pearse, and G. Mark Pomeroy (collectively, the “Nominees”) for election to the Issuer's board of directors (the

CUSIP No. 817732100

"Board") at the Issuer's 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Therein Star Equity Fund noted that the Nominees are experienced, capable, and fully committed to act in the best interests of all Issuer shareholders.

Star Equity Fund mentioned at the Issuer's 2022 annual meeting of shareholders that a majority of the votes casts voted WITHHOLD on the incumbents Cosgrove and Gygax, and that the executive compensation plan failed to obtain the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. Star Equity Fund asserted the entrenched Board amended its bylaws to create barriers to the director nominee process as a defense mechanism to discourage dissident shareholders from seeking consideration of matters and nominations at the Annual Meeting.

Star Equity Fund noted the Board declined to meet or return phone calls regarding worthwhile ideas and suggestions on how to create value for Issuer shareholders; and Star Equity Fund is resolute in its opinion that significant change in Board composition is vital to altering corporate governance practices, improving financial results, and ultimately unlocking shareholder value at Issuer.

Star Equity Fund concluded, by stating it intends to file a preliminary proxy statement and accompanying WHITE proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to be used to solicit votes for the election of its slate of highly-qualified director nominees at the Annual Meeting.

The foregoing description of the press release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6 and is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 7.			Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following:

The following items are filed as exhibits:


99.6						Press Release, dated February 14, 2023

CUSIP No. 817732100

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.
