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

 

On March 26, 2021, Mr. Bronson acquired from the Issuer 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000. Mr. Bronson paid the purchase price for the shares by cancelling $349,442.18 in principal and accrued interest outstanding under a Revolving Promissory Note, dated as of December 31, 2016, made by the Issuer in favor of Mr. Bronson, as amended to the date of conversion, and paying $50,557.82 in cash. Mr. Bronson used his personal funds to acquire Note and to subsequently acquire the shares of Common Stock from the Issuer.

 

 

On May 13, 2022, Mr. Bronson contributed an aggregate of 2,544,805 shares of Common Stock to SB4 as a capital contribution.

 

On October 11, 2023, Mr. Bronson acquired shared trading authority to 34,353 shares of Common Stock owned by his parents.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired and hold the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons may: (i) increase or decrease their beneficial ownership of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, (ii) sell all or part of their shares of Common Stock in open market or privately negotiated sales or otherwise, or (iii) make further purchases of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer through open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Neither of the Reporting Persons has reached any decision with respect to any such possible actions. If the Reporting Persons do reach a decision to undertake any of the above described possible actions, they will, among other things, timely file an appropriate amendment to this Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)            The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as owned by each person named herein is based upon 2,860,773 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2023, 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 August 11, 2023.

 

As of the date hereof, SB4 directly owns 2,544,805 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 89.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. SB4 shares voting and dispositive power over these shares with Mr. Bronson, who serves as Managing Manager and majority owner of SB4.

 

As of the date hereof, Mr. Bronson solely owns 7,500 shares of Common Stock, jointly owns with his former spouse, Kimberly Bronson, 84,988 shares of Common Stock, and has been given voting and dispositive control over 711 shares of Common Stock owned solely by Kimberly Bronson. Effective October 11, 2023, Mr. Bronson assumed shared trading control over 34,358 shares of Common Stock (approximately 1.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) held by his parents and thus may be deemed to have a beneficial ownership of such shares. Additionally, by virtue of his relationships with SB4 discussed in further detail in Item 2, and his power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned directly by SB4, Mr. Bronson may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,544,805 shares of Common Stock directly owned by SB4, bringing Mr. Bronson’s total combined ownership to 93.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

(b)            SB4 shares with Mr. Bronson the power to vote and dispose of the 2,544,805 shares of Common Stock directly owned by SB4. Mr. Bronson also shares with his former spouse, Kimberly Bronson, voting and dispositive power over 85,699 shares of Common Stock, of which 84,988 shares are owned by Mr. Bronson jointly with Kimberly Bronson, and 711 shares of Common Stock are owned solely by Kimberly Bronson and for which Mr. Bronson has been given voting and dispositive control. Mr. Bronson has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 7,500 shares of Common Stock solely owned by Mr. Bronson.

 

(c)            Effective October 11, 2023, Mr. Bronson assumed shared trading control over 34,358 shares of Common Stock (approximately 1.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) held by his parents and thus may be deemed to have a beneficial ownership of such shares

 

 

(d)            No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock, other than Mr. Bronson’s former spouse, Kimberly Bronson, who has such rights with respect to 85,699 shares of Common Stock that she owns solely or jointly with Mr. Bronson.

 

(e)            Not applicable.

 

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as 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 of the securities reported herein. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that are not directly owned by such Reporting Person.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On July 1, 2022, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which the Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to securities of the Issuer, to the extent required by applicable law. A copy of this agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
