Item 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION |
Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: | |
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock reported herein at an aggregate cost of $35,741,926. The funds used to purchase the shares of Common Stock were obtained from the general working capital of MAK Fund, MAK-ro Fund and Paloma, as applicable, which may at any given time include funds borrowed in the ordinary course in their margin accounts. Such shares of Common Stock are held by the Reporting Persons in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker's call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein. |

Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: | |
The Reporting Persons initially acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes because they believed the Issuer's Common Stock represented an attractive investment opportunity. | |

The Reporting Persons intend to have further discussions with management, the Board, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties relating to the Issuer's business, operations, strategy, future plans, management, board composition (and may seek representation on the Board), corporate governance and related matters and may seek the support of other shareholders in connection therewith. | |
CUSIP No. 989855101 | SCHEDLE 13D/A | Page 10 of 12 Pages |

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board or the Issuer's management, price levels of the Common Stock, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock, and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. |
