Except as specifically amended below, all other provisions of the Schedule 13D remain in effect. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment are used as defined in the Original 13D.

This Amendment is being filed voluntarily and is not being filed as required by Rule 13d-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

Mr. Lin was awarded the Shares under the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and 2023 Equity Incentive Plan stated above. Mr. Lin is currently the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company and therefore will continue to participate in and receive awards under the Company’s incentive programs for as long as he is an employee of the Company. These share awards did not result in a material change in Mr. Lin’s ownership of the Company’s common shares as defined by Rule 13d-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Mr. Lin files this Schedule 13D voluntarily.

 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
