EXPLANATORY NOTE
This
Schedule 13D/A (the “Amendment No. 3”) amends
the Schedule 13D filed on September 6, 2017 and amended on
September 6, 2017 and May 8, 2018 (and as further amended by this
Amendment No. 3, the “Schedule 13D”), on behalf
of the Reporting Persons named in Item 2(a) thereof, as amended.
Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in
the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms not
otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings
attributed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other
Consideration.
Item 3
is hereby supplemented as follows:
On
November 7, 2018, the Issuer agreed to issue an aggregate of
3,961,934 restricted shares of Common Stock to Matthew D. Rosen as
compensation for services rendered to the Issuer pursuant to an
employment agreement, as described in Item 4 below.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4
is hereby supplemented as follows:
On
November 7, 2018, the Issuer entered into an employment agreement,
effective as of November 6, 2018, with Matthew D. Rosen (the
“Rosen Employment
Agreement”), which replaced the previous employment
agreement between the Issuer and Matthew D. Rosen dated November 5,
2015. Pursuant to the Rosen Employment Agreement, the Issuer has
agreed to issue Matthew D. Rosen an aggregate of 3,961,934 shares
of restricted Common Stock (the “Restricted Stock Award”)
pursuant to the Issuer’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as
amended through the date hereof. Pursuant to the Rosen Employment
Agreement, 657,682 shares of Common Stock of the Restricted Stock
Award vested immediately upon execution of the Rosen Employment
Agreement, and 10% of the remaining 3,304,249 shares of Common
Stock vest and becomes non-forfeitable each quarter over a 2.5 year
period from the date of the Rosen Employment Agreement, subject to
Mr. Rosen’s continued employment with the Issuer on each such
vesting date; provided, that the vesting of the Restricted Stock
Award may be accelerated under certain circumstances set forth in
the Rosen Employment Agreement.
In
accordance with the terms of the Rosen Employment Agreement,
Matthew D. Rosen promptly surrendered 350,018 shares of Common
Stock to the Issuer immediately upon issuance thereof, to satisfy
employment tax obligations, for a net issuance of 3,611,916 restricted shares of Common
Stock.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is hereby supplemented as follows:
(a)-(b)
The beneficial ownership percentage of each of the
Reporting Persons is calculated based on 82,112,970 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of November 7, 2018, as reported to the Reporting
Persons by the Issuer. All
share amounts in this Schedule 13D reflect the 1-for-1.5 reverse
split of the Common Stock effected by the Issuer on May 4,
2018.

Except as set forth above, no Reporting Person beneficially owns
any shares of Common Stock.
The
aggregate 5,907,017 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
the Reporting Persons represent approximately 7.1% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each Reporting Person has
sole power to vote or to direct the vote, and to dispose or to
direct the disposition, of the Common Stock beneficially owned by
him, and no Reporting Person shares any such power with another
Reporting Person over any shares of Common Stock.
In
light of the director nomination rights and the voting requirements
of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be
deemed to be a “group” under Section 13(d)(3) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange
Act”) with BCHI and its affiliates that together
constitute a group. BCHI beneficially owns 49,776,310 shares of Common Stock, all
acquired at the Closing as merger consideration. The beneficial
ownership of BCHI set forth in this Amendment No. 3 is based on its
ownership reported in the prospectus dated July 11, 2018, filed by
the Issuer with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Reporting Persons disclaim
beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by BCHI. BCHI has separately made a Schedule 13D filing.
Collectively, the Reporting Persons and BCHI beneficially own
55,683,327 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 67.0%, of the
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any Common
Stock, pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, other than as
set forth above in this Item 5. Neither the filing of this
Amendment No. 3 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to
constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons are the
beneficial owners of the Common Stock referred to herein for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other
purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly
disclaimed.
(c)
Other than as set
forth in Item 3 of this Amendment No. 3, no transactions in the
Common Stock have been effected by the Reporting Persons during the
past sixty days.
(d)
The Reporting
Persons are not entitled to the other’s right to receive or
the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock.
(e)
Not
applicable.
ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 is hereby supplemented as follows:
The information set forth under Item 4 of this Amendment No. 3, and
the Exhibits filed with the Schedule 13D, are incorporated herein
by reference. The description of the Rosen Employment
Agreement contained in Item 4 hereof does not purport to be
complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the
full text of the Rosen Employment Agreement, which will be filed as
an exhibit to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the period
ended September 30, 2018, which the Issuer is expected to file on

13D.
Other than as described in the Schedule 13D, there are no
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or
otherwise) between the Reporting Persons and any person with
respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited
to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s
