EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 15, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”). Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is hereby amended in relevant part as follows:

 

The information set forth in Item 5 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended in relevant part as follows:

 

The information set forth in Item 5 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 is hereby amended in relevant part as follows:

 

(a)-(b):

 

On September 16, 2022, Savanna Holdings distributed 2,946,961 Shares to Master Fund I and Fund IV, ratably, for no consideration. In addition, on September 16, 2022 Fund IV distributed 2,231,256 Shares to its partners, ratably, for no consideration, which included 63,758 Shares distributed to P2 Capital GP IV, LLC (“GP IV”).

 

As of the date hereof, Master Fund I holds directly 715,705 Shares, representing 2.8% of the outstanding Shares and Fund IV no longer holds any Shares. The Manager, as investment manager of the Funds, and Claus Moller, as managing member of the Manager, may each be deemed to own beneficially all Shares that are held directly by the Funds. Each of the Manager and Mr. Moller disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held directly by the Funds for all other purposes.

 

Mr. Moller is also the managing member of GP IV and may be deemed to own beneficially all Shares that are held directly by GP IV. Mr. Moller disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares held directly by GP IV for all other purposes.

 

The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on an aggregate of 25,593,313 Shares outstanding, based on the number of Shares outstanding as of August 3, 2022 as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 12, 2022.

 

Following the distributions described above, Savanna Holdings no longer holds any Shares and is no longer subject to the voting arrangements under the Shareholders Agreement. As a result, the Reporting Persons are no longer deemed to constitute a “group” with Jermyn Street and the other shareholders party to the Shareholders Agreement for purposes of section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

(c) Except as set forth in Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in any Shares.

 

(e) As of September 16, 2022, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding Shares.

 

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

 

Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph after paragraph four of “Shareholders Agreement”:

 

As a result of the distributions described in Item 5 above, Savanna Holdings no longer satisfies the minimum ownership threshold set forth in the Shareholders Agreement to designate any members to the Issuer’s board of directors. Savanna Holdings also no longer has any voting rights or obligations and any registrations rights with respect to the Issuer’s Shares.
