CUSIP NO. 93317W102
The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On November 22, 2015, Baker Street Capital Management and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Baker Street”) entered into an investor agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the Agreement, effective as of December 7, 2015, the size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) will be increased to eleven (11) directors and Vadim Perelman will be appointed to serve as a Class II director on the Board with a term expiring at the Issuer’s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2017 Annual Meeting”). Upon the effectiveness of his appointment, Mr. Perelman will be offered membership on the Issuer’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee, Compliance Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, subject to satisfying the necessary eligibility requirements. In connection with the Agreement, the Issuer amended its existing shareholder rights agreement to permit Baker Street to acquire up to 25% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Baker Street agreed to vote all of its Shares at the Issuer’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders in support of each current Class I director nominated by the Board and against any shareholder proposals not approved by the Board. Baker Street has also agreed to vote, at the 2017 Annual Meeting, all of its Shares in support of each nominee to the Board that is recommended by the Board and in accordance with the Board’s recommendation on any other matter, provided the Issuer and Mr. Perelman agree to his nomination for re-election as a director at the 2017 Annual Meeting, and subject to certain limitations described in the Agreement. In addition, (i) Baker Street agreed to certain customary restrictions through the date that is thirty (30) calendar days prior to the deadline established pursuant to the Issuer’s by-laws for the submission of shareholder nominations for the 2017 Annual Meeting, subject to an extension if the Issuer delivers a notice of intent to nominate Mr. Perelman for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting, and (ii) Mr. Perelman shall resign as a director in the event Baker Street fails to maintain beneficial ownership of at least 9.9% of the outstanding Shares.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
On November 22, 2015, Baker Street and the Issuer entered into the Agreement as defined and described in Item 4 above and attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
