Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Mr. Brown, alone or in conjunction with other stockholders, has determined from time to time, to engage with the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and to take actions in his capacity as a significant stockholder to strengthen the Company’s corporate governance. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”), stockholders have the right to call special meetings of stockholders and to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Previous actions taken by Mr. Brown and Mr. Bartels are described in Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, and Amendment No. 4 and previous actions taken by Mr. Brown and the Trust are described in Amendment No. 5 and Amendment No. 6.

 

As reported in Amendment No. 5, on August 19, 2019, Mr. Brown and the Trust delivered a written request (the “August Request”) that the Company call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with Section 2.02 of the By-Laws for the purpose of voting on a proposal to remove Arthur B. Drogue and R. Eric McCarthey from the Board without cause (the “Removal Proposal”). Mr. Bartels did not participate in this action. The foregoing summary of the August Request is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the August Request, which is filed as Exhibit 12 to Amendment No. 5 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

As reported in Amendment No. 6, on September 12, 2019, Mr. Brown and the Trust delivered a further written request (the “September Request”, and together with the August Request, the “Prior Requests”) that the Company call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with Section 2.02 of the By-Laws for the purpose of voting on the following proposal1 to be presented for a vote following the Removal Proposal (together with the Removal Proposal, the “Prior Proposals”):

 


1 The September Request also included proposals to increase the size of the Board by one and to elect Panos Lazaretos as a director of the Company. However, these proposals were mooted when Mr. Lazaretos was elected to the Board by written consent of a majority of the Company’s stockholders, which was submitted to the Company on October 13, 2019 by Mr. Brown, the Trust and Mr. Bartels, as reported in Mr. Bartels’ Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on October 18, 2019.

 

 
CUSIP No. 784933103 Page 7 of 12 Pages

 

A proposal to adopt amendments to the By-Laws, as set forth in the Appendix attached to the September Request, which amendments would (i) reduce the waiting period set forth in Section 3.04 for stockholders to fill certain vacancies on the Board from 90 days to 30 days and (ii) adopt a new provision establishing the applicable independence standards set forth in the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and SEC rules as the independence standards applicable to the Company’s Board and Board Committees.

 

Mr. Bartels did not participate in this action. The foregoing summary of the September Request is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the September Request, which is filed as Exhibit 14 to Amendment No. 6 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

On December 17, 2019, the Reporting Persons delivered a further written request (the “December Request”) that the Company call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with Section 2.02 of the By-Laws for the purpose of voting on the following proposals to be presented for a vote following the Prior Proposals and in the order presented below:

 

· A proposal to increase the size of the Board by one, provided such vote shall be of no effect if, at the time of the Election (as defined below), a vacancy exists on the Board due to the removal of Arthur B. Drogue or R. Eric McCarthey.

 

· A proposal to elect James R. Brown Sr. as a director of the Company (the “Election”).

 

The December Request is intended to supplement the Prior Requests. Mr. Bartels did not participate in this action. It is the expectation of the Reporting Persons that the proposals set forth above will be presented to Company stockholders for a vote at the special meeting of stockholders currently expected to be held on January 16, 2020 or any postponed meeting date, in addition to the Prior Proposals to be presented at that meeting based on the Prior Requests. The foregoing summary of the December Request is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the December Request, which is filed as Exhibit 15 to this Amendment and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons (alone or in conjunction with other stockholders of the Company) currently have no plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided, such plans or proposals may have been considered, and may from time to time hereafter be considered. The Reporting Persons may also acquire or dispose of Company securities in the ordinary course.
