The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 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 to read as follows:
The Shares purchased by Vertex Opportunities 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, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,569,184 Shares beneficially owned by Vertex Opportunities is approximately $2,832,592, excluding brokerage commissions.
The Shares purchased by BLR Partners 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, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 3,419,729 Shares owned directly by BLR Partners is approximately $4,181,919, including brokerage commissions.
The Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 600,415 Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff is approximately $694,007, including brokerage commissions.
The Shares directly owned by Mr. Schechter were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 100,000 Shares directly owned by Mr. Schechter is approximately $109,157, excluding brokerage commissions.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On October 9, 2015, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In light of the destruction of shareholder value that has occurred under the incumbent Board’s watch, including an approximately 40% decline in share price this year alone, the Reporting Persons urged the Board to refrain from taking any action that would further harm shareholders either by making a material acquisition or by entrenching themselves. The Reporting Persons advised the Board and the Issuer’s management not to engage in any material transaction without shareholder approval or prior to shareholders having the opportunity to vote on the composition of the Board. The Reporting Persons made clear that they standby ready to work constructively with the Board to help address the problems facing the Issuer. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 54,573,594 Shares outstanding as of July 31, 2015, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2015.
