See Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

 

On February 15, 2024, the Reporting Person distributed to holders of its common and preferred stock, by way of a special in-kind dividend, approximately 3,331,747 of shares of Common Stock (the “Distribution”). Based on the number of shares of the Reporting Person’s stock outstanding as of the record date for the Distribution, January 15, 2024, stockholders of the Reporting Person received 0.37709668 of a share of Common Stock for each share of the Reporting Person’s common stock held (in the case of the Reporting Person’s preferred stock, as if such preferred stock had been converted into common stock) as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the record date. The holder of the Reporting Person’s senior convertible notes waived its right to participate in the Distribution. The Reporting Person will not distribute fractional shares of Common Stock, but rather will round each of its stockholders’ entitlement to shares of Common Stock to the nearest whole number of shares. Based on closing market price of Common Stock on the distribution date, the special dividend reflects a distribution of Common Stock with a market value of approximately $0.52 per share of the Reporting Person’s stock.

 

 

The Reporting Person is the parent company of the Issuer and, with its ownership of approximately 65.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, has the power to elect all of the directors of the Issuer and to control all matters that would require the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Person or any of the Principals, respectively, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer and may retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Each of the Reporting Person and each of the Principals, respectively, intends to review its ownership of the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Person or any Principal might undertake with respect to the Common Stock may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Person’s review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments relating to the Reporting Person and/or Principal(s) and the Issuer.

 

Other than as described above, and except in accordance with its role as the parent company of the Issuer, the Reporting Person and Principals do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
