SCHEDULE 13D

Page 8 of 13

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The information in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for strategic investment purposes. The Reporting Persons will continuously review their investment in Issuer, and depending on market, economic and industry conditions, their continuing evaluation of the business, strategies, prospects, management, governance, operations, performance, financial matters, capital structure and prospects, market positions, strategic and other transactions of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities and changes in law and/or regulations and all other factors that may be deemed relevant, the Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional securities of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to engage in constructive discussions with the Issuer’s management and/or board of directors (the “Board”), other stockholders of the Issuer and other interested parties that may relate to the business, management, operations (including cost structure), assets, capitalization, financial condition, strategic plans, governance, Board composition and the future of the Issuer. Subject to market conditions and other factors described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may also seek to monetize their securities in the Issuer through various transactions, including, without limitation, derivative transactions or a pledge of their interests in the securities of the Issuer as collateral for liquidity purposes.

The Reporting Persons do not have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. However, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters in the future and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, the Reporting Persons have held and may hold discussions with or make informal recommendations or formal proposals to the Issuer’s management or Board, including any special committees of the Board and their respective advisors, other holders of the Issuer’s securities, industry analysts, financial sponsors, existing or potential strategic partners, actual or potential sources of capital and other third parties regarding such matters.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The information contained on the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. Calculations of the percentage ownership of the Common Shares beneficially owned are based on a total of 35,052,180 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of March 7, 2022, as reported on the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Issuer on March 8, 2022.

The Reporting Persons comprise a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Mr. Rosen and Azurite disclaim beneficial ownership over the 110,200 Common Shares owned by Crawford United and Messrs. Crawford, and Crawford United and Messrs. Crawford disclaim beneficial ownership over the 3,221,558 Common Shares owned by Mr. Rosen and Azurite. However, as a group, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to collectively beneficially own 3,331,758 Common Shares, which represents 9.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares.

Azurite is the owner of record of 3,221,558 Common Shares. Mr. Rosen, in his capacity as the sole manager of Azurite, has the ability to indirectly control the decisions of Azurite regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by Azurite, and as such may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the 3,221,558 Common Shares held by Azurite.

Crawford United is the owner of record of 110,200 Common Shares. Messrs. Crawford, in their capacity as holders of a majority of the voting power of Crawford United and as two of six members of Crawford United’s board of directors (of which Mr. Rosen is also a member), share the ability to indirectly control the decisions of Crawford United regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by Crawford United, and as such may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the 110,200 Common Shares held by Crawford United. Other than Messrs. Crawford and Rosen, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the Covered Persons beneficially owns Common Shares.

For information on the Reporting Persons’ powers to vote and dispose of such shares, see rows 7 to 10 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D.

Transactions by the Reporting Persons in the Common Shares effected during the past 60 days are set forth in Schedule B below and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Except as described above and herein in this Schedule 13D, there are no other contracts, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons, or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the Covered Persons and between such persons and any person with respect to any of the securities of the Issuer currently owned by the Reporting Persons.
