(1) Based on 194,461,361 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of November 7, 2023 as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2023.

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 2”). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 4, 2024, the Reporting Persons entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to reasonably promptly identify a candidate (the “New Director”) for prompt appointment to the Board to the existing vacant seat in Class III of the Board (the “Class III Vacancy”). As part of the Committee’s search process, the Reporting Persons shall be entitled to consult with the Committee and recommend up to three candidates, with whom the Committee will conduct its interviews with and consider in good faith any recommendations made by the Reporting Persons. The appointment of the New Director is subject to the final approval of the Committee and the Board; provided, however, that such candidate is reasonably acceptable to the Reporting Persons. The Issuer further agreed that following the identification of the New Director, the Board and any applicable committees thereof shall take all necessary actions to appoint the New Director as a member of the Board to fill the Class III Vacancy.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Reporting Persons are subject to certain customary standstill restrictions (including with respect to not (i) acquiring beneficial ownership of more than 14.0% of any securities of the Issuer entitled to vote (the “Voting Securities”) outstanding, (ii) nominating persons for election to the Board, (iii) submitting any proposal for consideration at any stockholder meeting, (iv) soliciting any proxy, consent or other authority to vote from stockholders, and (v) taking any other action in support of changes to the Issuer’s management or corporate governance structure and other matters, including the separation of the Chair and CEO roles) from the date of the Agreement (the “Effective Date”) until the earlier of (a) 12 months from the Effective Date and (b) 10 calendar days prior to the notice deadline under the Issuer’s By-laws for the nomination of director candidates for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (such period, the “Cooperation Period”). Further, the Issuer and the Reporting Persons have each agreed to a general mutual release of claims of the other party with respect to claims arising on or prior to and including the Effective Date, and the Issuer agreed to dismiss the pending litigation against certain of the Reporting Persons. During the Cooperation Period, the Issuer and the Reporting Persons have also agreed not to disparage the other party.

During the Cooperation Period, the Reporting Persons also agreed to vote all of their Voting Securities (a) in favor of the nominees for director recommended by the Board and (b) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to any other matter presented to stockholders; provided, however, that the Reporting Persons shall be permitted to vote in their sole discretion on any proposal of the Issuer in respect of any Extraordinary Transaction (as defined the Cooperation Agreement) and in accordance with Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass, Lewis & Co. LLC (“Glass Lewis”) if both ISS and Glass Lewis publish a voting recommendation that differs from the Board’s recommendation with respect to any proposal (other than proposals related to director elections, removals or replacements, the authorization of shares, or the issuance of equity in connection with employee compensation) submitted to stockholders during the Cooperation Period.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6.

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

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 4, 2024, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into the Agreement as defined and described in Item 4 above and attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

Item 7.

Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:

99.1

The Agreement, by and among the Issuer and the Reporting Persons, dated February 4, 2024.
