CUSIP No. 88642R 10 9

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a)-(c) and (e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 39,231,039 Shares outstanding as of November 4, 2019, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 21, 2019.

As of the close of business on December 30, 2019, each of Raging Capital and William C. Martin may be deemed to beneficially own 1,937,538 Shares held directly by RC GLF by virtue of their relationships with RC GLF discussed in further detail in Item 2 of Schedule 13D, constituting approximately 4.9% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the close of business on December 30, 2019, William C. Martin may be deemed to beneficially own an additional 59 Shares and 644 Shares underlying Warrants held directly by him, which, together with the 1,937,538 Shares held directly by RC GLF that he may also be deemed to beneficially own, constitute approximately 4.9% of the Shares outstanding.

Each of the Reporting Persons, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer owned by the other Reporting Persons. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein that he or it does not directly own. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, each of RC GLF and the Raging Funds specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer held or previously held by it by virtue of its inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of the LPA or IMA, as applicable.

(b)       Raging Capital and William C. Martin may be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose of the Shares held by RC GLF.

William C. Martin has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares he directly owns.

(c)       Schedule B annexed hereto lists all transactions in the securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons. All of such transactions were effected in the open market.

(e)       As of December 27, 2019, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Shares.
