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 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations |
The Shares as to which this report on Schedule 13D is being filed were acquired at an aggregate price (excluding commissions) of approximately $9,797,000 and were purchased by clients of IA with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases as set forth in Schedule 5, which is incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
On December 28th, the IA sent a letter (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer. The letter sets forth the views of IA with respect to the capital structure and leverage of the Issuer (which IA believes should be reduced). The letter also sets forth the views of IA with respect to certain operational, strategic and investor relations matters. Further, the letter reiterates the views of IA about the importance of board representation for minority public shareholders and once again requests that the Issuer add Parsa Kiai to its Board of Directors. Finally, the letter sets forth the views of IA against Issuer engaging in acquisitions and in favor of all value creating alternatives including a potential sale of the company.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | IA (as the portfolio manager for its clients, including investment funds of which an affiliate of IA is general partner) and Mr. Kiai (as the managing member of IA), may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the number and percentage of Shares set forth on the cover page of this Schedule 13D on which they are respectively named. The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 11,385,619 Shares outstanding, as of October 27, 2022, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC November 3, 2022. |
| (b) | IA and Mr. Kiai have the power to vote or direct the vote and dispose of or direct the disposition of the number and percentage of Shares set forth on the cover page of this Schedule 13D on which they are respectively named. |
| (c) | Transactions by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of clients of IA, including investment funds of which an affiliate of IA is general partner) within the past sixty days (as of 8:00 AM on December 28, 2022) to the extent not previously reported on Schedule 13D, are set forth on Schedule 5. |
| (d) | Clients of IA, including investment funds of which an affiliate of IA is general partner, own the Shares which are the subject of this Schedule 13D and have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares. |
| (e) | Not applicable. |
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer that he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.
| Item 7. | Material to Be Filed as Exhibits |
| 99.2 | Letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer dated December 28th, 2022 |
