CUSIP No. 45772H202

 

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 of Common Stock purchased by Bandera Master 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). The aggregate purchase price of the 3,485,000 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Bandera Master Fund is approximately $1,340,000, excluding brokerage commissions.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 8, 2023, the Purchasers (as defined below) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer’s outgoing Chief Executive Officer, Sam Klepfish, as further described in Item 6 below, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

(a)       The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 47,779,010 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 8, 2022, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2022.

As of the date hereof, Bandera Master Fund directly owned 3,485,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 7.3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. By virtue of their respective relationships with Bandera Master Fund as discussed in further detail in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, each of Bandera Partners, Mr. Bylinsky and Mr. Gramm may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned directly by Bandera Master Fund.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

(c)       Except as otherwise disclosed herein, there have been no transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Bandera Master Fund purchased 360,000 shares of Common Stock from Mr. Klepfish at a price of $0.25 per share.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 8, 2023, Bandera Master Fund and JCP Investment Partnership, LP (collectively, the “Purchasers”) entered into the Purchase Agreement with Mr. Klepfish. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, each Purchaser purchased 360,000 shares of Common Stock from Mr. Klepfish at a price of $0.25 per share. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties thereto.
