(“Focused Compounding,” or the “Reporting Person”) on January 28, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 15, 2023, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on December 22, 2023 (together, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Parks!

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On January 4, 2023, Focused Compounding filed a contested preliminary proxy statement with the SEC (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”). Such Preliminary Proxy Statement named Geoff Gannon and Andrew Kuhn, principals of Focused Compounding, as well as James Ford as director-nominees for election to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”).

Mr. Ford, whose principal business address is 13950 Ballantyne Corp. Place, Suite 185, Charlotte, NC 28277, is a citizen of the United States and beneficially owns 546,198 Shares.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On January 4, 2024, Focused Compounding filed the Preliminary Proxy Statement described in Item 2 above, which is incorporated in this Item 4 by reference. The matters described in the Preliminary Proxy Statement to be considered and voted upon at the Special Meeting consist of the five (5) following proposals:

PROPOSAL 1 (Bylaw Restoration): Repeal any provision of the Bylaws of Parks! America, Inc. as adopted on January 30, 2004 and as revised as of June 12, 2012 (the “Bylaws”), including any amendments thereto, in effect at the time this Proposal becomes effective, which was not included in the Bylaws that were in effect as of June 12, 2012 and were filed with the SEC on July 16, 2012 (the “Bylaw Restoration Proposal”) to restore the Bylaws to their current form if the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company attempts to amend them in any manner prior to completion of this proxy solicitation.

PROPOSAL 2 (Removal): Remove all seven (7) members of the Board (Lisa Brady, Todd White, Dale Van Voorhis, John Gannon, Charles Kohnen, Jeffery Lococo and Rick Ruffolo) pursuant to Section 4.9(a) of the Bylaws (the “Removal Proposal”).

 

 

PROPOSAL 3 (Bylaw Amendment): Amend and restate Section 4.7 of the Bylaws (the “Bylaw Amendment Proposal”) to read as follows:

 

“4.7 Vacancy on Board of Directors. In case of a vacancy on the Board of Directors because of a director’s resignation, removal or other departure from the board, or because of an increase in the number of directors, the remaining directors, by majority vote, may elect a successor to hold office for the unexpired term of the director whose position is vacant, and until the election and qualification of a successor. In the event any directors are removed by a vote of the shareholders, then the shareholders shall have the right to elect successors to hold office for the unexpired term of the director or directors whose positions are vacant, and until the election and qualification of their successors.”

 

PROPOSAL 4 (Election): Subject to the concurrent approval of the Removal Proposal, elect as members of the Board each of the following individuals (each a “Nominee” and collectively the “Focused Nominees”): (i) Andrew Kuhn, (ii) Geoff Gannon and (iii) James Ford (the “Election Proposal”).

PROPOSAL 5 (Adjournment): To permit Focus Compounding to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, any of the Bylaw Restoration Proposal, the Removal Proposal, the Bylaw Amendment Proposal or the Election Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Focused Compounding and Mr. Ford collectively beneficially own 29,656,348 Shares, representing roughly 39.27% of the 75,517,763 Shares reported to be issued and outstanding on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2023, filed with the SEC on December 12, 2023.

On December 22, 2023, Focused Compounding filed Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D and issued a demand to the Company that it hold the Special Meeting. The Company then filed additional soliciting material with the SEC on January 2, 2024. The Special Meeting is scheduled to be held on February 26, 2024 at 11:00 am Eastern Time to hold a stockholder vote on, among the other proposals listed above, whether to replace the entire Board with the three nominees named in the Preliminary Proxy Statement: (i) Geoff Gannon, (ii) Andrew Kuhn, and (iii) James Ford. On January 8, 2024, Focused Compounding issued an open letter to the Board, and such letter was filed with the SEC as additional soliciting materials that same day.
