Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

As noted in Amendment No. 13, in connection with Master Fund reaching maturity and effecting an orderly liquidation and distribution of its assets to its limited partners, Master Fund, through an affiliated fund (“Sub Fund”), has begun selling shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The shares of Common Stock being sold represent the pro rata interest of an outside investor in the Master Fund (the “Outside Investor”) and the proceeds of the sale will be distributed to the Outside Investor.  After the sales reported in each of Amendment Nos. 13 through 16, the Outside Investor’s remaining interest in the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Master Fund represents 7,258,691 of the remaining shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Master Fund (directly and indirectly through Sub Fund).

 

The Reporting Persons may continue to seek to dispose of the remaining shares of Common Stock attributable to the Outside Investor through other means available, including but not limited to additional public resales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, registered resales pursuant to an underwritten secondary offering, and/or private resales pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Master Fund not attributable to the Outside Investor, and the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by EGI Investors, are not being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of at this time.

 

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

(a) and (b) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, 59,813,700 shares of Common Stock were outstanding as of February 18, 2022, as disclosed in the Issuer’s annual report on Form 10-K filed February 25, 2022.  EGI Investors is the beneficial owner of 1,824,305 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 3.0% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and EGI Investors shares voting and dispositive power with General Partner with respect to such shares.  Master Fund is the beneficial owner of 8,782,816 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 14.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Master Fund shares voting and dispositive power with General Partner with respect to such shares.

 

(c) On January 26, 2022, 509,551 shares of Common Stock were distributed in kind, pro-rata and for no additional consideration, from the Master Fund to EGI Investors.  A description of all of the other transactions in the Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 15, each of which was effected in the open market in routine brokerage transactions, is included in Exhibit 4.

 

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or to direct the power to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

 

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Exhibit 4:

Schedule of Transactions, in response to Item 5(c)
