Each of the foregoing is referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” Each of the Reporting Persons is party to that certain Joint Filing Agreement, as further described in Item 6. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.
Note: The Reporting Persons previously filed on Schedule 13G with respect to the securities of the Issuer and are now hereby converting their filing to this Schedule 13D based on the activities discussed in Item 4 below. The initial Schedule 13G was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015, and was thereafter amended on February 8, 2016, February 14, 2017 and February 14, 2018.
(b) The address of the principal office of each of the Reporting Persons is 205 East 42nd Street, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10017.

(e) No Reporting Person, nor any person listed on Schedule A to the Schedule 13D, has, during the last five years, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) Mr. Abbe and Ms. Page are citizens of the United States of America. The citizenship of the persons listed on Schedule A to the Schedule 13D is set forth therein.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
The Shares and Warrants (as defined below) purchased by Iroquois Master Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as in Schedule B, which is incorporated by reference. The aggregate purchase price of the 382,754 Shares, the Series A, Series D and Series E Warrants to acquire 260,024 Shares and the Series C and Series F Warrants to acquire 208,332 Shares (collectively, with the Series A, Series D and Series E Warrants, the “Warrants”) beneficially owned by Iroquois Master Fund and Iroquois Capital was approximately $1,430,866, including brokerage commissions.
Mr. Abbe received the 70,775 Shares through a distribution of interests by a limited liability company. The total purchase price for such Shares was approximately $142,201, including brokerage commissions.
The Accounts used working capital of such Accounts to acquire the 77,864 Shares and the Warrants to acquire 71,352 Shares reported herein. The total purchase price for such Shares and Warrants was approximately $229,567, including brokerage commissions.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Reporting Persons cannot exercise (i) any of the Warrants that are Series A, Series D or Series E Warrants if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 4.9% of the outstanding Shares or (ii) any of the Warrants that are Series C or Series F Warrants if the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.9% of the outstanding Shares (the applicable “Blockers”), and the percentage set forth in Row 13 of the cover page for each Reporting Person gives effect to the applicable Blockers. Consequently, as of the date of the event which requires the filing of this statement, the Reporting Persons were not able to exercise all of the Warrants due to the applicable Blockers.
Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction. |
The Reporting Person purchased the securities of the Issuer reported herein based on the Reporting Person’s belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer desirable, the Reporting Person may endeavor to increase or decrease its position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Person may deem advisable.
7 |
The Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time engage in additional discussions with management and the Board concerning among other things recommending changes to the Board of Directors. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the securities of the Issuer, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, making proposals to or concerning the Issuer, purchasing additional securities of the Issuer, selling some or all of their securities of the Issuer, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the securities of the Issuer, or change its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 10,877,723 Shares, which represents (1) the 10,605,724 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 26, 2017, as represented in the Company’s prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 29, 2017 plus (2) an aggregate of 281,830 Shares issuable upon the (i) exercise of the Series C and F Warrants owned by Iroquois Master Fund to acquire 208,332 Shares, and (ii) exercise of the Series C and Series F Warrants owned by the Accounts to acquire an aggregate of 73,498 Shares.
