The filing of this Amendment shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims all such beneficial ownership except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in any such shares, if applicable.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in this Schedule 13D, as previously amended.

 

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 as follows:

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

On September 6, 2023, the Sub-Account, as a selling shareholder, entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the Company and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (the “Underwriter”), with respect to an underwritten public offering of 850,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Secondary Offering”).  In connection with the Secondary Offering, which closed on September 8, 2023, the Sub-Account sold 850,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $45.63 per share.  The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Sub-Account.

In connection with the Secondary Offering, certain Greenlight entities and each executive officer and director of the Company (collectively, the “Lock-Up Parties”) entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with the Underwriter pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions (including the forward sale transactions referenced below), the Lock-Up Parties have agreed not to dispose of or hedge any of their shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (“Lock-Up Securities”) or make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities through the date that is 30 days after the date of the final prospectus used to sell the above-referenced 850,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the form of Lock-Up Agreement, which are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

In addition, as previously disclosed, in connection with an internal restructuring of certain Greenlight entities, holders of the Class A interests in the SPVs have elected to have a total of approximately two million shares of Common Stock held by the SPVs sold in the intermediate term, likely within the next sixteen months, subject to market conditions and legal, regulatory and other restrictions and limitations.  The SPVs, partially in furtherance of those contemplated sales, and another Greenlight entity, to reduce the concentration of its investment portfolio, may in the near future enter into and perform one or more forward sale transactions with the Underwriter or its affiliate, as dealer, with respect to an aggregate of approximately two million shares of Common Stock.  Additional shares controlled by Greenlight may be sold in similar or other transactions in the future.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) and (b) See Items 7-13 of the cover pages.

The percentages reported herein are based on a statement in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 2, 2023 that there were 45,378,678 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 26, 2023.

(c)  The information described in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c).  The Reporting Persons have not engaged in any other transactions in the Common Shares during the sixty day period prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D that have not previously been reported.

 

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information described in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

 

Item 7.  Exhibits.
