Each of the executive officers and directors of MTD is a citizen of the United States of America and has a business address of 5965 Grafton Road, Valley City, Ohio 44280.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(b) MTD and the other persons identified below had, as of July 19, 2017, after giving effect to the transactions described under paragraph (c) below, sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Common Stock as follows:

As of such date, MTD beneficially owned 7,905,266 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 34.2% of the outstanding Common Stock. MTD has the sole power to vote and dispose of 7,300,866 of such shares. MTD has shared power to vote and dispose of 604,400 shares of Common Stock owned by the MTD Products Inc. Master Employee Benefit Trust (the Trust), a trust fund established and sponsored by MTD.

Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D previously disclosed that MTD shared voting power with respect to shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Curtis E. Moll because Mr. Moll had agreed to vote his shares as directed by MTD. MTD and Mr. Moll no longer have any agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of his shares, and therefore MTD no longer has shared voting power with respect to shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Moll.

As of such date, Mr. Curtis E. Moll, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of MTD, owned directly 194,596 shares of Common Stock with the sole power to vote and dispose of such shares. In addition, Sara H. Moll, the wife of Mr. Moll, owned 1,104 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Moll shares voting and dispositive power with respect to Common Stock held by Sara H. Moll.

As of such date, Dieter Kaesgen, President of MTD and a member of MTDs Board of Directors, owned directly 62,835 shares of Common Stock, David J. Hessler, Secretary of MTD, owned 74,759 shares of Common Stock, Martha Hessler, the wife of David J. Hessler, owned 1,000 shares of Common Stock, Robert J. King, Jr., a member of MTDs Board of Directors, owned 15,524 shares of Common Stock and 1,500 shares of Common Stock in trust, Robert T. Moll, a member of MTDs Board of Directors, owned 73 shares of Common Stock, and Theodore S. Moll, a member of MTDs Board of Directors, had voting power regarding 1,700 shares of Common Stock held by a trust.

Curtis E. Moll, David J. Hessler and Theodore S. Moll serve as trustees of The Jochum Moll Foundation, a charitable organization, and have the power to vote and dispose of the 20,000 shares held by The Jochum Moll Foundation.

MTD disclaims beneficial ownership of shares held by its executive officers and directors.

Percentages set forth on the cover pages hereof and in this Item 5 are based on 23,123,792 shares of Common Stock outstanding according to the Companys Prospectus, dated July 13, 2017 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2017 pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Prospectus), after giving effect the issuance and sale of shares by the Company as described therein (and full exercise by the underwriters of the option described therein).

(c) On July 13, 2017, the Trust entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as representatives (the Representatives) of the underwriters named therein. As part of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Trust granted the underwriters an option (the Option) to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock from the Trust for $7.755 per share. The underwriters exercised the Option in full and the Trust sold 500,000 shares of Common Stock to the underwriters on July 19, 2017.

In connection with the Underwriting Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, MTD, the Trust and the directors and executive officers of the Company agreed to customary lock-up provisions (the Lock-Up Agreement) pursuant to which they are restricted from selling or otherwise disposing of shares of Common Stock for a period of 90 days following the date of the Prospectus without the prior written consent of the Representatives.

References to and descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and form of Lock-Up Agreement included as Exhibit A thereto, which has been filed as an Exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 6.

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