  (d), (e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.  The Reporting Persons disclaim membership in a group.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.  
     

 

The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D/A to correct the beneficial ownership reported on the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Reporting Persons on January 4, 2024.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired their Shares for investment and are filing this Schedule 13D/A to report a change in their respective beneficial ownership percentages of the Shares resulting from an agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Persons to remove beneficial ownership blocker provisions of notes and warrants of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, as reported on Table II of the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Persons on November 21, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference (the “Derivatives”) and as further described in Item 6.

 

On August 5, 2022, Morgan C. Frank was appointed to the board of directors of the Issuer to serve as Chair.

 

The Reporting Persons have acquired their Shares of the Issuer for investment. The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which, other than as expressly set forth below, would relate to or would result in: (a) any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer; (b) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer; (c) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (d) any material change in the operating policies or corporate structure of the Issuer; (e) any change in the Issuer's charter or by-laws; (f) the Shares of the Issuer ceasing to be listed from a national securities exchange or to ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; or (g) causing the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The Reporting Persons, however, reserve the right, at a later date, to effect one or more of such changes and may dispose of or enter into other transactions in the shares they may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

The Reporting Persons have been and may continue to be in contact with members of the Issuer's management, the Issuer's Board of Directors, other significant shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to maximize shareholder value.

 

The Reporting Persons further reserve the right to act in concert with any other shareholders of the Issuer, or other persons, for a common purpose should it determine to do so, and/or to recommend courses of action to management and the shareholders of the Issuer.
