CUSIP No. 428567101
The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
As previously disclosed, on April 23, 2024, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Genesis Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”), Steps Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for purposes of certain provisions specified in the Merger Agreement, JD Sports Fashion plc, the ultimate parent company of Parent and Merger Sub. On July 25, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) effective as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, each Share of the Issuer owned by the Reporting Persons immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive $87.50 in cash, without interest. Accordingly, as a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares of the Issuer.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5(a) – (c) and (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a), (b) Effective July 25, 2024, as a result of the Merger, each Share owned by the Reporting Persons was converted into the right to receive $87.50 in cash, without interest, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares of the Issuer.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein, there have been no transactions in the securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons since the filing of the Schedule 13D.
(e) As of the Effective Time, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Shares of the Issuer.
