Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

This Schedule 13D amendment is being filed to report that, effective May 16, 2024, BOC has newly issued a 10-Q highlighting the recent changes in their shares outstanding.

 

The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business. All purchases of the Common Stock were based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Given the Reporting Persons’ ownership percentage of, and Mr. Peterson’s role with, the Issuer, the Reporting Persons holding of the Common Stock may have the purpose or effect of controlling the Issuer.

 

Although Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal to acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of the Common Stock, Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations.

 

Adam K. Peterson is Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Issuer. As a result, the Reporting Persons will, in the ordinary course, engage in communications with one more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer, other members of the board of directors of the Issuer, and other representatives of the Issuer regarding the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)

Currently, the Reporting persons beneficially own 6,112,360 shares of Class A common stock, 527,780 shares of Class B common stock, and 52,778 Class B warrants. The Class B warrants include 1,262 Class B warrants at a strike price of $8.00 and 51,516 Class B warrants at a strike price of $10.00.

 

The Class B warrants are convertible at any time and at the holder’s election into shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock. The Class B common stock is convertible at any time, at the holder’s election and for no additional consideration, into shares of Class A common stock on a one-on-one basis. The conversion right has no expiration date.

 

Based on the foregoing:

 

Mr. Peterson may be deemed the beneficial owner of 6,692,918 shares of Common Stock held for himself and the accounts of MCF and BOC I.

 

TMG may be deemed the beneficial owner of 6,169,811 shares of Common Stock held for itself and the accounts of the MCF and BOC I.

 

MCF may be deemed the beneficial owner of 580,558 shares of Common Stock that it holds.

 

BOC I may be deemed the beneficial owner of 5,589,253 shares of Common Stock that it holds.

 

BOC II no longer holds any shares of Common Stock.

 

The Issuer's 10-Q, filed on May 13, 2024, listed 30,931,349 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock outstanding, and 527,780 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The shares beneficially owned, in total, represent approximately 21.2% of the shares issued and outstanding. For purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, for those Reporting Persons that report beneficial ownership of the Warrants, the Common Stock underlying the Warrants has been added to the Issuer's reported outstanding share count.

 

(b)

The information set forth in Rows 5 through 11 of the cover page for each Reporting Person is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b) for each such Reporting Person.

 

(c)

No acquisition or disposition by the Reporting Persons has occurred in the past 60 days. The Reporting Persons file this Schedule 13D to report a change in their beneficial ownership percentage resulting from a stock buyback conducted by the Issuer.

 

(d)

Except as disclosed herein, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.

 

(e)

This item is not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The powers of disposition and voting of the shares held for MCF are held pursuant to a limited partnership agreement entered into between MCF and TMG. The powers of disposition and voting of the shares held for BOC I are held pursuant to a limited partnership agreement entered into by and between BOC I and TMG. As described above in Item 2, Mr. Peterson is the managing member of TMG.
