This Amendment No. 2 to a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 1, 2010 and amended on May 16, 2011 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”), is being filed to report the disposition of 505,500 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) resulting in the Reporting Persons ceasing to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock, so that Items 4 and 5 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, as below:
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
The Reporting Persons sold 500,000 shares of the Common Stock to the Issuer on June 17, 2011 at a price of $29.30 per share. In addition, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 5,500 shares of the Common Stock in the open market. The disposition to the Issuer resulted in the Reporting Persons ceasing to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons may continue to review JMB Capital Partners Master Fund, L.P.’s (the “Master Fund”) investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and may engage in discussions with Issuer’s management, its Board of Directors, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, concerning the business, operations, governance, management, and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, 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 the Master Fund's investment in the Issuer as the Reporting Persons deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling some or all of the shares of Common Stock still held by the Master Fund, engaging in short selling or any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
Accordingly, while the Reporting Persons do not have any specific plans or proposals that would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing to the Issuer or third parties any or all of such transactions.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) As of the date hereof, the Master Fund is the owner of 108,297 shares of Common Stock. By virtue of their investment management authority, each of the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned by the Master Fund. Based on (i) 6,137,888 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer currently outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2011 and; (ii) the Issuer’s repurchase of an aggregate of 650,000 shares of Common Stock as reported in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 21, 2011, the Reporting Persons are currently the beneficial owner of 2.0% of the outstanding Common Stock.
CUSIP No. 001031103 | 13D | Page 8 of 11 Pages |
(b) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 0
Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share the power to vote or to direct the vote of the shares held by the Master Fund.
Sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition: 0
Shared power to dispose of or to direct the disposition: Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the shares held by the Master Fund.
(c) Set forth below are transactions effected by the Master Fund in the Common Stock in the past sixty (60) days constituting all of the transactions effected by the Reporting Persons in the Issuer’s Common Stock in the past 60 days.
