Reference to “beneficial ownership” of securities for purposes of the Statement, as amended by this Amendment, shall be understood to refer to beneficial ownership as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

As of December 11, 2023 (the “Transaction Date”), the date as of which the Reporting Person became obligated to file this Amendment, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate 5,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The Reporting Person is the direct beneficial owner of all of the securities described in the preceding sentence.

 

The beneficial ownership information included in this Amendment reflects the repurchase of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock described below (the “Transaction”).

 

On the Transaction Date, the Reporting Person entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to repurchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the Reporting Person, for cash consideration. The parties expect that the Transaction will close as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Transaction Date, and that the 5,000,000 shares which are the subject of the Repurchase Agreement will be retired and canceled on or about the date of the closing.

(b)            Percent of Class:

 

As of the Transaction Date, the Reporting Person was deemed to directly beneficially own an aggregate 6.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock.

 

The aforementioned percentage was calculated in accordance with Rule 13(d)-3(d)(1)(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act and based on an aggregate total of 81,710,582 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of November 6, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on November 9, 2023, less the 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Issuer from the Reporting Person pursuant to the Transaction.
