CUSIP No. 125525584
The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 2”). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On September 27, 2023, Mr. Negari issued an open letter (the “Open Letter”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) reiterating his proposal, initially made on April 17, 2023, to acquire all of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer for $8.88 per Share in cash (the “Proposal”), representing a substantial premium of over 119% to the Issuer’s most recent closing price of $4.05 and nearly 112% to the Issuer’s 30-day average closing price of $4.194. In addition to reiterating the Proposal, Mr. Negari detailed alternative strategies for the Board to consider to enhance shareholder value should the Board continue to refuse to commence a sales process, including (i) the immediate sale of non-core assets and repurchasing Shares or (ii) disposing of all assets and returning capital to shareholders.
The foregoing description of the Open Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Open Letter, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:
99.1 | Open Letter, dated September 27, 2023. |
