Except to the extent set forth in this Amendment, all information disclosed in the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

On May 12, 2021, the parties to that certain Group Agreement, dated February 12, 2021, as amended by that certain Joinder Agreement, dated February 16, 2021 (as amended, the "Group Agreement"), agreed to terminate the Group Agreement effective immediately.  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are no longer members of a Section 13(d) group with VIEX or Osmium.  The Reporting Persons shall continue filing statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.  Each of the Reporting Persons is party to the Joint Filing Agreement, as further described in Item 6.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, the Reporting Persons may vote in favor or against the proposed acquisition of the Issuer by Graham Holdings Company announced on April 6, 2021, or increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable. 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D are amended and restated as follows:

(a) The information set forth in rows 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference.

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 36,032,095 Shares outstanding of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-Q, filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2021.

(b) As of the date hereof, neither Mr. McConnell nor Mr. Mutch owns any shares.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On May 12, 2021, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which the Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 15 and is incorporated herein by reference.
