Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

On August 15, 2022, Janel accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms of the Offer (as described in Item 4) 1,108,000 Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to expiration of the Offer at 12:00 Midnight (New York City Time) on August 12, 2022 (the “Expiration Time”). Payment for such Shares was made promptly and the shares were delivered to Janel’s account on August 19, 2022, in accordance with the terms of the Offer for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $22,160,000 paid with cash on hand and the proceeds from the Bridge Loan (as defined in the Offer to Purchase  dated July 13, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”), which is filed with the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO initially filed with the SEC on July 13, 2022).

 

The information set forth in the sections of the Offer to Purchase titled “Summary Term Sheet” and “THE OFFER—Section 10. Source and Amount of Funds” is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On July 13, 2022, Janel commenced the Offer.

 

At the Expiration Time, 2,206,889 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, including 100,966 Shares tendered in accordance with the guaranteed delivery procedures. Janel has accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms of the Offer 1,108,000 Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to Expiration Time, representing 44.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares of Issuer’s common stock as of August 3, 2022. Payment for such Shares was made promptly, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer exceeded the maximum tender amount of 1,108,000 Shares. Because the Offer was oversubscribed, the number of Shares purchased from each of the tendering stockholders was prorated to limit Janel’s purchase to Shares representing 44.99% of the Shares outstanding as of August 3, 2022. The final proration factor, as reported by the Depositary was 50.311427% of the tendered Shares.  All Shares tendered but not accepted for payment in the Offer were returned to the tendering stockholders.

Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, upon consummation of the Offer, Janel was entitled to designate two of the four members of the board of directors of the Issuer. On August 19, 2022, Janel’s two designees were appointed to the board of directors of the Issuer.
