(1)Based on information provided by the Issuer as of December 4, 2023, reflecting 2,309,576.502 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of such date.

This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 12, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on November 9, 2023 (as amended, the “Existing Schedule 13D”). Except as set forth herein, the Existing Schedule 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Existing Schedule 13D.

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

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

VHG distributed 31,700 shares of Common Stock for no consideration to employees of a subsidiary of VEP Group on December 4, 2023.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a)The following information is as of the date hereof and assumes there are 2,309,576.502 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 4, 2023, based on information furnished by the Issuer.

The Adviser is the direct beneficial owner of 1,250 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock held by the Adviser represents 0.1% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Statement. Holdco is the sole general partner of the Adviser. Holdco’s sole member is VEP Group.

VHG is the direct beneficial owner of 215,649.672 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock held by VHG represents 9.3% of the Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Statement. VEP Group is the general partner of VHG.

Robert F. Smith is the sole managing member of VEP Group. Consequently, Mr. Smith and VEP Group may be deemed the beneficial owners of the shares held directly by the Adviser and VHG. Each of the Vista Entities and Mr. Smith expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares not held directly and the filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any of the foregoing is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Statement.

(b)By virtue of the relationship among the Reporting Persons described in Item 2, each such Reporting Person may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote and to share the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock as set forth in rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages of this Statement.

(c)Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
