ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes.
Samuel T. Chen is a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. In such capacity, Samuel T. Chen regularly interacts with management and other directors, and may interact with other stockholders and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, governance, management, strategy, capitalization and/or future plans of the Issuer, including the possibility of exploring extraordinary corporate transactions. As a result, Samuel T. Chen may take positions with respect to and seek to influence the decision of the Board of Directors of the Issuer regarding these and other matters.
On or about September 23, 2020, Samuel T. Chen was approached by H.P. Jin (“Dr. Jin”), the President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, to consider supporting a possible transaction involving the acquisition of all the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer led by Dr. Jin that would result in the Common Stock of the Issuer ceasing to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Markets (a “Transaction”), including by providing financing and/or assisting with finding financing and by voting the shares of the Issuer to support such Transaction. The Reporting Persons currently intend to vote their shares of the Issuer in support of a Transaction and Mr. Chen has orally expressed to Dr. Jin that he currently intends to provide funding for the Transaction (directly or indirectly, including through Digital) on economic terms to be agreed and to provide Dr. Jin access to his network of potential financing sources. The Transaction, if consummated, would result in certain actions or events specified in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (the “Enumerated Events”).
Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, have no present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any Enumerated Events. However, each Reporting Person reserves the right to change its intentions with respect to support for the Transaction (financial or other) and to develop plans or proposals at any time. Each Reporting Person also reserves the right to acquire (or dispose of) additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, through the exercise of stock options, through the vesting of restricted stock units or performance-based stock units, through purchases of shares under the Issuer’s equity incentive plan, through block trades, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, in any combination of the foregoing or in any other lawful manner, and to change their intentions with respect to, the Issuer and their investment in securities of the Issuer. This evaluation may be based on various factors, including the Issuer’s business and financial condition and results of operations and prospects, the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities, other future developments, market conditions, such Reporting Person’s general investment and trading policies, and other factors.
