Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

Pursuant to the Schedule 13G filed on May 2, 2017, the Reporting Person has acquired more than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock through the purchase of Common Stock. The Reporting Person acquired such Common Stock with personal funds. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Common Stock.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Person has been an investor in the Issuer for approximately nine years. After growing more concerned with the Issuer’s sales strategies and declining stock price in recent years, on January 24, 2018, the Reporting Person sent the Board of Directors of the Issuer a letter requesting the following: (i) to nominate himself as a director, so the Issuer might take advantage of the Reporting Person’s long and successful history in sales, and (ii) to grant shareholders the ability to directly access the Issuer’s proxy materials. The Reporting Person’s concerns stem from being a long-term shareholder and reflect his commitment to his investment in the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Person intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may engage in discussions with the Issuer’s Board of Directors and/or management; other stockholders of the Issuer; and/or other relevant parties concerning the Issuer’s business, corporate governance, management and future plans. The Reporting Person may take such actions in the future with respect to his investment in the Issuer as he deems advisable including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or selling some or all of his shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the shares, and/or otherwise changing his intention with respect to the matters referred to in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Such actions will depend upon various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial and strategic direction and position, the response of the Board of Directors to the proposal referred to above, the price performance of the Issuer’s shares, general conditions in the Issuer’s industry, the economy and the securities markets, and the availability of other investment opportunities.

At any time and from time to time, the Reporting Person may review, reconsider and change his position and/or change his purpose and/or develop such plans or proposals.
