The following constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 5”). This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
| Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:
As a result of the decision made by the Reporting Persons to withdraw the Nomination Letter, as further described below in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 5, the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement was terminated, effective immediately. Accordingly, Mr. Madnani shall no longer be a member of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be a Reporting Person immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 5. The Reporting Persons who will remain Reporting Persons subsequent to this filing shall continue filing statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. Each of those remaining Reporting Persons is party to the Joint Filing Agreement, as further described in Item 6.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
The Reporting Persons are pleased that the Board has followed their recommendation and announced the formation of a special committee tasked to explore strategic opportunities. Based on this decision, as well as the announcement last week that the CEO would be transitioning and another longer tenured director would be stepping off the Board by the 2023 Annual Meeting, which actions the Reporting Persons believe came largely as a result of their pressure, the Reporting Persons have determined to withdraw the Nomination Letter and their nomination of three nominees for election at the 2023 Annual Meeting.
Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
On May 8, 2023, the Reporting Persons who will remain Reporting Persons subsequent to the filing of this Amendment No. 5 entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which such Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 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 | Joint Filing Agreement by and among Toro 18 Holdings LLC, Immersion Corporation, William Martin and Eric Singer, dated May 8, 2023. |
