Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended and supplemented by this Amendment No. 1, the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The total cost for purchasing the Common Stock reported as directly held by Palm Global, including brokerage commissions, was approximately $383,500. The source of these funds was working capital.

 

The total cost for purchasing the Common Stock reported as directly held by Mr. Horowitz, including brokerage commissions, was approximately $57,849. The source of these funds was personal funds.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

On December 13, 2021, Palm Global signed an additional consenting noteholder accession letter and thereby acceded to the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”), dated August 31, 2021, among the Company and certain holders of 6.625% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2022 (the “Notes”) of the Company. The RSA memorializes the agreed-upon terms for a financial restructuring of the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Term Sheet attached as an exhibit to the RSA (the “Note Restructuring”). The RSA contemplates that the Note Restructuring will be effectuated through (i) a scheme of arrangement in respect of the Notes pursuant to section 86 of Part IV of the Companies Act (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Scheme”) and (ii) a recognition proceeding with respect to the Scheme pursuant to chapter 15 of title 11 of the United States Code. Under the terms of the RSA, the Note Restructuring is expected to be completed by March 1, 2022, resulting in a five-year extension of the stated maturity through April 26, 2027 and other agreed modifications. The description of the RSA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2021 and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.2.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock reported in this Statement for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons and their affiliates may in the future acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons in open-market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable. The Reporting Persons may engage in short selling or hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable, subject to applicable law.

 

The Reporting Persons are closely monitoring the Company’s restructuring activities and may engage in discussions with the board and management of the Company regarding its business and affairs. Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal that would result in any of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons reserve the right in the future to formulate any such plans or proposals, and to take any actions with respect to their investments in the Company, including any or all of the actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
