The following constitutes Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 10”). This Amendment No. 10 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:

Of the 33,195,673 Shares beneficially owned by 22NW Fund, (i) 21,981,043 of such Shares were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) and have an aggregate purchase price of approximately $44,335,026, excluding brokerage commissions, (ii) 3,899,745 of such Shares were granted by the Issuer, following shareholder approval, at a deemed price of $0.40 per Share as reimbursement for legal fees and other expenses incurred by 22NW Fund in connection with the contested director election at the Issuer’s 2022 annual and special meeting and (iii) 7,314,885 of such Shares are currently issuable upon the conversion of certain of the Issuer’s outstanding 6.00% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “January 2026 Convertible Debentures”) and 6.25% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the “December 2026 Convertible Debentures,” and, together with the January 2026 Convertible Debentures, the “Convertible Debentures”), which Convertible Debentures have an aggregate purchase price of approximately C$17,262,885.

The Shares directly owned by Mr. English were purchased with personal funds (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 1,777,369 Shares directly owned by Mr. English is approximately $994,199, excluding brokerage commissions.

The aggregate purchase price of the 1,250 Shares directly owned by Mr. Hirai-Hadley is approximately $1,763, excluding brokerage commissions.

The Shares directly owned by Mr. Jones were purchased with personal funds (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 1,200 Shares directly owned by Mr. Jones is approximately $2,780, excluding brokerage commissions.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 104,797,972 Shares outstanding as of November 17, 2023, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in Amendment No. 2 to the Issuer’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2023, plus the number of Shares underlying the Convertible Debentures as reported herein, as applicable.

As of the date hereof, 22NW Fund directly beneficially owned 33,195,673 Shares, constituting approximately 29.6% of the Shares outstanding, including 7,314,885 Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures owned by 22NW Fund.

As of the date hereof, Mr. English directly beneficially owned 1,777,369 Shares, constituting approximately 1.7% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the date hereof, Mr. Jones directly beneficially owned 1,200 Shares, constituting less than 1% of the Shares outstanding.

Mr. English, as the Portfolio Manager of 22NW, Manager of 22NW GP and President and sole shareholder of 22NW Inc., may be deemed to beneficially own the 33,195,673 Shares beneficially owned by 22NW Fund, which, together with the Shares he directly beneficially owns, constitutes an aggregate of 34,973,042 Shares, constituting approximately 31.2% of the Shares outstanding.

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)       The transactions in the securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D are set forth in Schedule A and are incorporated herein by reference.
