Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

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

 

The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of Common Stock and the Series H Preferred Stock convertible into the shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates for investment purposes, and such purchases were made in the ordinary course of business of the Reporting Persons.

 

In pursuing such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may further purchase, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in Issuer securities at times, and in such manner, as they deem advisable including as they may deem appropriate or advisable as contemplated by the Issuer’s prior shareholder protection rights agreement and including to benefit from, among other things, (1) changes in the market prices of such securities; (2) changes in the Issuer’s operations, business strategy or prospects; or (3) from the sale or merger of the Issuer. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons intend to closely monitor the Issuer’s operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as other economic, securities markets and investment considerations.

 

Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria and subject to the Standstill Agreement (as defined below), the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the management or Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such evaluations and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (1) modifying their ownership of Issuer securities; (2) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (3) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance or capitalization; (4) pursuing a transaction that would result in the Reporting Persons’ acquisition of all or a controlling interest in the Issuer; or (5) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The description of the Standstill Agreement contained in Item 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Currently, each of Daniel Schribman and Todd Sims, employees of a subsidiary of BRF, serves as a member of the Board.

 

In addition to the information disclosed in this Schedule 13D and subject to the Standstill Agreement, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (1) formulate other plans and proposals; (2) take any actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; and (3) acquire additional Issuer securities or dispose of some or all of the Issuer securities beneficially owned by them, in each case in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.

 

By virtue of the removal of any trading and voting power authority in any capacity of BRF, B. Riley Capital Management, LLC, a New York limited liability company, a registered investment advisor (“BRCM”), and Bryant R. Riley over the assets of BRC Partners Opportunity Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“BRPLP”), BRF, BRCM and Bryant R. Riley no longer may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by BRPLP.

(a) – (b)

 

1.

As of the date of hereof, (i) BRS beneficially owns directly 1,159,261 shares of Common Stock, representing 6.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock; (ii) BRFI beneficially owns directly 3,433,532 shares of Common Stock, representing 19.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock; and (iii) BRPI beneficially owns directly 14,162 shares of Common Stock, representing less than 0.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. The calculations of the ownership percentages reported herein are based on a total of 17,808,434 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of May 27, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on June 3, 2022. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock underlying the shares of Series H Preferred Stock and the Warrants directly held by BRPI and BRFI, which, in each case, cannot be acquired by the Reporting Persons within 60 days due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

Bryant R. Riley disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by BRS and BRFI, or the Robert Antin Children Irrevocable Trust in each case except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer owned by the other Reporting Persons (subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, to the extent applicable). The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer it does not directly own or control. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that it does not directly own or control.

Riley (collectively, the “Standstill Parties”) will acquire shares of the Issuer’s capital stock that would cause the foregoing persons to (i) beneficially hold securities representing more than 45% of the Issuer’s fully diluted voting power or (ii) exceed certain monthly share acquisition limits, in each case without prior approval of the board of directors of the Issuer. In addition, the Standstill Agreement provides that the Standstill Parties may not, during that one-year period, among other things, (i) make certain disclosures related to their plans and proposals with respect to the Issuer, the Issuer’s board of directors or the Issuer’s management, (ii) engage in a solicitation of proxies with respect to the Issuer’s securities, (iii) enter into any agreements or work with any third party in furtherance of the foregoing or (iv) challenge the validity of the Standstill Agreement.
