The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

All of the Shares reported herein were purchased on behalf of the Reporting Persons using their investment capital or funds under management. The aggregate purchase price of 2,616,459 Shares reported herein was approximately $56,352,966 (including brokerage commissions and transaction costs).

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On November 25, 2024, the Reporting Persons issued a press release and open letter to the Issuer’s shareholders (the “November 25^th Letter”). In the November 25^th Letter, the Reporting Persons expressed their views regarding the Issuer’s need for a reconstituted Board and independent CEO search process. The Reporting Persons also called on the Issuer to collaborate with them to add new directors to the Board, appoint an Executive Chairman and ensure a wholly independent CEO search process to identify the Issuer’s next leader. The Reporting Persons further encouraged shareholders to make their own concerns known by communicating them directly to the Issuer. The Reporting Persons concluded the November 25^th Letter by making clear that they intend to nominate several exceptionally qualified directors for election at the Issuer’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders if the Board remains unwilling to engage constructively with the Reporting Persons on changes they believe are necessary to unlock value at the Issuer.

The foregoing description of the November 25^th Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the November 25^th Letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a) – (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Amendment No. 4 are incorporated herein by reference. As of the date of this Amendment No. 4, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 2,616,459 Shares, representing approximately 11.7% of the outstanding Shares. The percentage in this paragraph relating to beneficial ownership of Shares is based upon 22,371,000 Shares outstanding as of September 28, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2024.

(c) The transactions in the securities of the Issuer since the filing of Amendment No. 3 are set forth in Schedule A and are incorporated herein by reference. All of such transactions were effected in the open market unless otherwise noted therein.

Item 7.

Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:

99.1       November 25^th Letter.
