The address of the principal executive office of EVO is 8285 West Lake Pleasant Parkway, Peoria, Arizona 85382.

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 11 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 11 shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7, Amendment No. 8, Amendment No. 9, and Amendment No. 10.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 11 to report that on July 13, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Issuer adopted a resolution creating a new series of Series D Non-Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred”) that was issued on that date to Antara Master Fund (the “Lender”), as required pursuant to the terms of that certain Third Extension Agreement, dated July 8, 2022, among the Issuer, certain specified subsidiaries of the Issuer (the “Guarantors”), the Lender and certain current and former executives of the Issuer, or funds affiliated with such executives (the “Third Extension Agreement”), to that certain Senior Secured Loan and Executive Loan Agreement dated March 11, 2022, as amended by that certain Extension Agreement dated May 31, 2022, that certain Second Extension Agreement dated June 30, 2022 and the Third Extension Agreement (as further amended from time to time, the “Loan”).

The Series D Preferred grants the Lender certain voting rights with respect to the Issuer’s voting capital stock that are further described in Item 6.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following supplemental information:

The Reporting Persons are directly or indirectly party to the following arrangements with the Issuer:

(a) Series D Non-Participating Preferred Stock

Under the Certificate of Designations with respect to the Series D Preferred (the “Series D Certificate of Designations”), prior to a payment default under the Loan (a “Bridge Loan Triggering Event”), and on and following the date on which all principal and accrued interest (including default interest) payable under the Loan has been paid-in-full (the date of such payment-in-full, the “Bridge Loan Discharge Date”), the holder of Series D Preferred shall vote together with the holders of the Issuer’s common stock as a single class on any matter presented to the holders of the Issuer’s common stock for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting) or on which such holders of common stock are otherwise entitled to act (each, a “Shareholder Matter”), and the holders of Series D Preferred shall be entitled to cast a number of votes on any Shareholder Matter equal to the total number of votes of all non-holders of Series D Preferred entitled to vote on any such Shareholder Matter plus 10. In addition, the Series D Certificate of Designations provides that governance mechanisms that could have the effect of limiting, reducing or adversely affecting the Series D Preferred holders’ voting rights under the Series D Certificate of Designations shall require the consent of holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series D Preferred (the “Series D Majority”). When considered together with the existing Series C Preferred held by Lender (as described in Amendment No. 7, including the form of the corresponding Certificate of Designation adopted by the Board of Directors of the Issuer and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on March 11, 2022 (the “Series C Certificate of Designations”) filed as an exhibit thereto), the Series D Preferred will provide Lender with majority control of the Issuer’s voting capital stock.

The Series D Majority may elect to waive or decline to exercise any or all voting rights granted under the Series D Certificate of Designations, in whole or in part, on either a revocable or irrevocable basis.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Series D Certificate of Designations, filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
