Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D. | |
|
|
Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
Item 2 is hereby amended and replaced by the following:
This statement is being filed by and on behalf of the Reporting Persons. The address of the principal office of each of the above Reporting Persons is 590 Madison Avenue, 25th Floor, New York, NY 10022.
The Funds are principally involved in the business of investing in securities. The Manager is principally involved in the business of providing investment advisory and investment management services to the Funds and, among other things, exercises all voting and other powers and privileges attributable to any securities held for the account of the Funds. Mr. Moller is the managing member of the Manager.
None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. | |
|
|
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 is hereby amended and replaced by the following:
The source of funds for the purchases of Shares reported on herein was the general working capital of the respective purchasers, which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business.
As of August 8, 2013, Master Fund I had invested $19,539,308 (excluding brokerage commissions) in the Shares of the Issuer, Master Fund VI had invested |

Item 5 is hereby amended and replaced by the following:
(a), (b): The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference. As of the close of business on August 8, 2013, Master Fund I beneficially owned an aggregate of 1,297,855 Shares, representing approximately 2.6% of the outstanding Shares, Master Fund VI beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,168,576 Shares, representing approximately 4.4% of the outstanding Shares and Master Fund IX beneficially owned an aggregate of 3,518,598 Shares, representing approximately 7.1% of the outstanding Shares. As of the close of business on August 8, 2013, each of the Manager and Mr. Moller may be deemed to beneficially own 6,985,029 Shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, which represented approximately 14.2% of the outstanding Shares. All percentages set forth in this paragraph are based on 49,219,560 Shares of Common Stock outstanding (as of May 1, 2013), which number of Shares of Common Stock is based upon the Issuer’s Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2013 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Each of the Funds is the direct owner of the Shares reported owned by it. For purposes of disclosing the number of Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, the Manager, as investment manager of the Funds, and Mr. Moller, as managing member of the Manager, may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) all Shares that are owned beneficially and directly by the Funds. Each of the Manager and Mr. Moller disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes. Master Fund I, Master Fund VI and Master Fund IX each disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares held directly by the other.
(c) Except as set forth above or in Schedule I, no Reporting Person has effected any transaction in Shares since the date of the most recent filing of Schedule 13D (i.e., the date of the filing of Amendment No. 1 to this Schedule 13D).
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable. |
