The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on August 1, 2022 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

On August 30, 2022, Star Equity Fund (together with the other Reporting Persons, the “Shareholder Group”) issued a press release (the “Aug 30 Press Release”) emphasizing the results of the Issuer’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders (“Annual Meeting”), wherein 56% of votes cast voted WITHHOLD on the re-election of Paul Lamb and Richard Smith to the Issuer’s Board of Directors ("Board") in line with both Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") and Glass Lewis & Co. LLC ("Glass Lewis"), two proxy advisory services firms, recommendations. The Aug 30 Press Release also took note that 57% of votes cast voted against the approval of the Issuer's executive compensation in a non-binding advisory vote. As more fully explained in the Aug 30 Press Release, which is attached hereto

CUSIP No. 403829104

as Exhibit 99.5 and is incorporated herein by reference, the Shareholder Group believes the results of the Annual Meeting indicate significant Issuer shareholder frustration.

The Reporting Persons have engaged, and may continue to engage, in general discussions with the Issuer's Board and management team, including with respect to the composition of the Board, the Issuer’s corporate governance and evaluating all options to maximize shareholder value, including potential business combinations or strategic alternatives involving the Issuer or certain of the Issuer’s businesses or assets.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in additional communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with shareholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons' investment, making proposals to the Issue r concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including Board composition) or operations of the Issuer, or potential business combinations or strategic alternatives involving the Issuer or certain of the Issuer’s businesses or assets, including transactions in which the Reporting Persons may seek to participate and potentially engage in (including with other third parties), purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.


Item 7.			Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:
