CUSIP No. 45667G103

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. As of March 18, 2020, as reflected in this Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Subject Shares”), set forth on the cover pages hereto.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:

20,975,384 shares of Common Stock were acquired pursuant to certain agreements entered into by the Issuer, Optical and an affiliate of Optical as previously reported in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D.

The 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock purchased by Optical were purchased 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. The aggregate purchase price of the 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock purchased by Optical is approximately $13,279,761, excluding brokerage commissions.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

Since the filing of the initial Schedule 13D in October 2018, the Reporting Persons have been closely monitoring developments at the Issuer and have remained constructively engaged with management and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on a variety of matters. In recent discussions with the Issuer, the Reporting Persons communicated their strong belief that meaningful shareholder representation is immediately required on the Board in order to ensure that the Board is aligned and acting in the best interests of its shareholders. To that end, the Reporting Persons have called upon the Board to immediately appoint both a direct representative of the Reporting Persons to the Board as well as a highly-qualified independent director designee identified by the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons have expressed their sense of urgency regarding these matters and look forward to working with the Board towards a cooperative outcome.  The Reporting Persons are optimistic that an amicable resolution with the Issuer can be promptly achieved and intend to continue their dialogue with the Board in this regard. The Reporting Persons reserve their rights to take whatever steps they believe may be required to protect and enhance shareholder value, including certain actions relating to the Issuer’s upcoming 2020 Annual Meeting, but hope any such steps will prove unnecessary.

CUSIP No. 45667G103

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) - (b)

Ownership percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon a total of 183,026,317 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding, as reported in the Issuer’s annual report on Form 10-K filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2020.

Optical directly holds 24,175,384 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 13.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Stock. 

GP LLC, in its capacity as the general partner of Optical, has the ability to direct the management of the business of Optical, including the power to direct the decisions of Optical regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical; therefore, GP LLC may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

GP I, in its capacity as the managing member of GP LLC, has the ability to direct the management of GP LLC’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of GP LLC regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical; therefore, GP I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

Capital I, in its capacity as the general partner of GP I, has the ability to direct the management of GP I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of GP I regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical; therefore, Capital I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

Holdings I, in its capacity as the general partner of Capital I, has the ability to direct the management of Capital I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of Capital I regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical; therefore, Holdings I may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

Holdings, in its capacity as the managing member of Holdings I, has the ability to direct the management of Holding I’s business, including the power to direct the decisions of Holdings I regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical; therefore, Holdings may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

OCG, in its capacity as the managing member of Holdings, has the ability to direct the management of Holdings’ business, including the power to direct the decisions of Holdings regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical. Therefore, OCG may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

OCGH GP, in its capacity as the manager of OCG, has the ability appoint and remove directors of OCG and, as such, may indirectly control the decisions of OCG regarding the voting and disposition of securities held by Optical; therefore, OCGH GP may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares.

(c)

The transactions in the securities of the Issuer by certain of the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set forth on Schedule A. No other Reporting Person has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock in the past sixty days, except as disclosed herein.
