On April 3, 2017 (the Closing Date), the Issuer completed the acquisition of AmCo Holding Company, a North Carolina corporation (AmCo), from RDX Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Sole Stockholder), as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 17, 2016 (the Merger Agreement), by and among the Issuer, Kilimanjaro Corp., a North Carolina corporation (Merger Sub), Kili LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Merger LLC), AmCo, the Sole Stockholder, and certain equityholders of the Sole Stockholder party thereto (collectively, the Sole Stockholder Member Parties) which is filed hereto as Exhibit 2. The acquisition of AmCo was completed through a series of mergers, including (a) the merger of Merger Sub with and into AmCo, with AmCo surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the First Merger), and (b) the merger of AmCo, as the survivor of the First Merger, with and into Merger LLC, with Merger LLC surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Mergers). In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, Merger LLC changed its name to AmCo Holdings Company, LLC.

At the effective time of the First Merger, the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of AmCo (other than shares owned by AmCo, the Issuer, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries,

The Reporting Persons have acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares as described in this Statement on Schedule 13D for investment purposes. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement (as described below), depending on various factors, including but not limited to the Issuers financial position and strategic direction, price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets, and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including changing their current intentions, with respect to any or all matters required to be disclosed in this Schedule 13D.

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer, the Sole Stockholder and the Reporting Persons entered into the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2016 (the Stockholders Agreement) attached hereto as Exhibit 3, which grants certain board nomination and designation rights to Mr. Peed. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, as of the Closing Date, the board of directors of the Issuer (the Issuer Board) was increased from seven directors to ten directors and Michael R.

Item 6.

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

The information provided in Items 3, 4 and 5 is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Stockholders Agreement

The Stockholders Agreement governs certain terms and conditions in respect of the securities of the Issuer that held by the Reporting Persons, as well as the Reporting Persons relationship with and investment in the Issuer.

Board Representation. Upon the Closing, the Issuers board increased its number of directors from seven to ten and appointed Peed and two other individuals as directors. Peed was also appointed Non-Executive Vice Chairman of the Issuer Board. Mr. Peed will continue to have the right to designate up to three individuals to be members of the Issuer Board (each, a Stockholder Designee) for nomination or appointment, as applicable, until the time that the Reporting Persons, their affiliates and permitted transferees no longer beneficially own voting securities of Issuer representing 15% of Issuers issued and outstanding voting securities. Each Stockholder Designee must meet certain requirements as described in the Stockholders Agreement.

Voting Restrictions. The Stockholders Agreements voting provisions provide that, until the earlier of the Closings five year anniversary and the date that the Reporting Persons beneficially own less than 25% of Issuers outstanding voting securities, the Reporting Persons may vote up to 25% of their Issuer voting securities in their sole discretion for any matters on which Issuer stockholders vote. All other Issuer voting securities owned by the Reporting Persons must be voted in proportion to the votes cast by all other holders of Issuer voting securities. However, if the Reporting Persons designate Stockholder Designees, they may vote all of their Issuer voting securities in favor of the Stockholder Designees.

Other Covenants. In addition to the board designation rights and voting restrictions described above, the Stockholders Agreement also (i) subject to certain exceptions, imposes upon the Reporting Persons certain standstill restrictions, non-competition and confidentiality obligations, and restrictions on transfers of voting securities of Issuer, and (ii) grants customary demand and piggyback registration rights to the Reporting Persons in respect of the Merger Consideration.

A copy of the Stockholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholders Agreement.
