Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

The securities reported in this Schedule 13D as directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were acquired with funds of approximately $9,051,809 (including brokerage commissions). All such funds were provided from the working capital or personal funds of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons who directly beneficially own such securities.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
The purpose of the filing of this Amendment to the Schedule 13D is to report that on August 10, 2017, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons participated in the closing of the Issuer’s rights offering, which expired on August 4, 2017, and raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.29 million, including $670,000 in cash and $1.62 million in redemption of previously issued notes, from the sale of 28.6 million shares of common stock at a price of $0.08 per share. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons exercised its rights (the “Rights”) in full plus over-subscription rights, acquiring an aggregate of 16,875,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.08 per share through the payment of cash and the redemption of the Issuer’s 8% promissory notes held by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons.
Other than as set forth in this Item 4, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons do not have any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and to the extent permitted by law, may seek to engage in discussions with other stockholders and/or with management and the Board of the Issuer concerning the business, operations or future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons may, in the future, take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling shares of Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock, taking any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of its securities in any manner permitted by law or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the 13D is hereby amended and restated by the addition of the following
(a), (b) and (c) As of August 10, 2017, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 49,797,748 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 30.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 163,452,779 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2017 as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 14, 2017.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons listed below:
Name | Number of Common Stock | Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock |
Wynnefield Partners I | 24,986,109 | 15.3% |
Wynnefield Partners | 14,453,862 | 8.8% |
Wynnefield Offshore | 9,271,237 | 5.7% |
Plan | 1,086,540 | 0.7% |
WCM is the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own.
WCI is the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. WCI, as the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. Messrs. Obus and Landes are executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes, as executive officers of WCI, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own.
The Plan is an employee profit sharing plan. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-trustees of the Plan and accordingly, Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that the Plan may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as the trustees of the Plan, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Plan.
Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Schedule 13D for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 49,797,748 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 30.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. 163,452,779 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 11, 2017 as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on August 14, 2017.
The filing of this Schedule 13D and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. Each of WCM, WCI and Messrs. Obus and Landes disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares covered by this Schedule 13D.
The Wynnefield Reporting Persons have acquired shares of Common Stock through the exercise of the Rights during the last 60 days, as follows:
