Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for investment purposes or in connection with their service as officers and/or directors of the Issuer. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
On July 26, 2018, Steven C. Eror announced his intention to commence a consent solicitation to expand the size of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) and elect a slate of eight highly qualified director candidates. Mr. Eror intends to file preliminary consent materials with the SEC in the coming days.
Also, on July 26, 2018, Mr. Eror delivered a letter to the Issuer (the “Letter”) requesting that the Board establish a record date for the forthcoming consent solicitation to determine the shareholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting. In the Letter, Mr. Eror stated that if the Issuer does not respond in writing by August 3, 2018 stating that it has fixed a record date or intends to fix a record date, then the record date for the consent solicitation will be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the proposed actions is properly delivered to the Issuer in accordance with Section 213 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The full text of the Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Through his consent solicitation, Mr. Eror will be seeking shareholder consent to approve the following set of corporate actions (each, a “Proposal” and, collectively, the “Proposals”):
1. | Amend Article 2, Section 2.1 of the Company’s First Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to provide that shareholders have the exclusive ability to fix the size of the Board and to increase the size of the Board to twelve (12) directors; |
2. | Amend Article 3, Section 3.2 of the Bylaws to allow any vacancies on the Board resulting from any newly created directorship(s) or for any cause to be filled exclusively by the shareholders of the Company; |
3. | Upon approval of Proposals 1 and 2 above, to elect each of Richard Serbin, Todd Morgan, Michael Christiansen, Eric Sokol, Ron Dunford, Steven Eror, Brian Loveridge and Don Patterson (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the “Nominees”) to serve as a director of the Company (or, if any such Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of the Company, any other person designated as a Nominee by Mr. Eror); and |
4. | To repeal any provision of the Bylaws in effect at the time this proposal becomes effective, including any amendments thereto, which were not included in the Bylaws that were adopted on July 14, 2017. |
Mr. Eror further reserves his right to nominate a slate of candidates for election as directors at the Issuer’s 2018 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Mr. Eror would view any attempt by the Issuer to amend its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws to limit the right of shareholders to (i) submit director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, (ii) expand the size of the Board or (iii) act by written consent to elect directors without a meeting as a clear attempt to manipulate the Issuer’s corporate machinery to disenfranchise its shareholders.
12 |
Mr. Eror remains willing to engage in discussions with the Issuer regarding Board structure and composition, capital raising, clinical trials, commercialization and the launch of products, financing, strategy, and, generally, means to enhance shareholder value. Mr. Eror seeks to add eight directors to the Board because he does not believe the current Board is acting in the best interests of the Issuer’s shareholders and that experienced directors are needed to enhance shareholder value. Mr. Eror believes the approval of the Proposals would provide the Issuer with qualified and experienced directors who, in accordance with their respective fiduciary duties, would provide proper oversight and direct management to take decisive steps to maximizing shareholder value.
No Reporting Person has any 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 or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in additional communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition), potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, or suggestions for improving the Issuer’s financial and/or operational performance, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a)The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 3,861,848 Shares outstanding, as of May 21, 2018, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 21, 2018.
As of the close of business on July 30, 2018, Mr. Eror beneficially owned 174,251 Shares, which represents approximately 4.5% the outstanding Shares.
As of the close of business on July 30, 2018, Mr. Morgan beneficially owned 172,188 Shares, including (i) 32,500 Shares owned by the Todd M.
