The following constitutes Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 8”). This Amendment No. 8 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Shares purchased by each of Master Fund, Opportunities Fund and North Tide through the Account 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 450,000 Shares beneficially owned by Master Fund is approximately $5,490,615, excluding brokerage commissions.  The aggregate purchase price of the 100,000 Shares beneficially owned by Opportunities Fund is approximately $2,501,500, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 200,000 Shares held in the Account is approximately $5,003,000, excluding brokerage commissions.

The 22,727 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Laughlin represent (i) 11,250 Shares underlying stock options that are currently exercisable and (ii) 11,477 Shares¹ underlying restricted stock units that have vested, which were granted to Mr. Laughlin in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

On August 1, 2017, the Reporting Persons sold 1,750,000 Shares of the Issuer in a block sale with a broker transaction.

The Reporting Persons continue to own approximately 750,000 Shares of the Issuer. Conan Laughlin, founder and portfolio manager of North Tide, was elected to the Issuer’s (formerly Healthways, Inc.)
