Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

The Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that such securities, when purchased, were significantly undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to (i) increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the securities of the Issuer without affecting their beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock.

 

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a periodic basis and may from time to time engage in communications and discussions with management and the Board, other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such review and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (i) modifying their ownership of the Common Stock; (ii) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (iii) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance or capitalization; (iv) pursuing a transaction that would result in the Reporting Persons’ acquisition of all or a controlling interest in the Issuer; or (v) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Initially, such discussions are expected to involve the Issuer’s business plan, G&A levels, other expenditures and corporate governance, as well as the composition of the Board and the compensation levels of management and the Board.

 

The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

The Reporting Persons believe that substantial and immediate change is needed at the Issuer. In support of this belief, on February 26, 2021, the Reporting Persons submitted a nomination notice to the Issuer (“Nomination Notice”) nominating seven individuals, Larry E. Jennings, Jr., Daniel Katz, Eric Ray, Richard H. Ross, Eric Shahinian, Sharon Stern and Archer G. Stevenson (the “Nominees”) for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2021 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer (“Annual Meeting”). The Nomination Notice discloses the Reporting Person’s intent to solicit proxies from the stockholders of the Issuer to elect the Nominees. The Nomination Notice also includes a proposal concerning the repeal of any provision or amendment to the Issuer’s By-laws adopted by the Board without stockholder approval after October 27, 2020 (which is the date of the last publicly available amendment to the Issuer’s By-laws). The press release issued by Camac Partners regarding the foregoing is attached as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated by reference.

 

On February 26, 2021, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement (the “Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement”) in which, among other things, the Reporting Persons agreed to (1) the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Company; and (2) form a “group” for the purpose of, among other things, soliciting proxies or consents at one or more annual or special meetings of the stockholders of the Issuer. The foregoing description of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated by reference. Ms. Stern and Messrs. Jennings, Katz, Ray, Ross and Stevenson have entered into powers of attorney with Camac for certain limited purposes. The powers of attorney are attached as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference.

 

 

Camac intends to engage in discussions with the Board and the Issuer’s management regarding representation on the Board for Camac and the composition of the Board generally.
