SCHEDULE 13D/A
Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 2 amends, as described below, the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 28, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by the Schedule 13D/A filed on March 23, 2020 (as amended, the “Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D”), by James V. Barnes and Terry J. Barnes. All terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.
ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.
There have been no material changes to the information last reported in Item 1 of the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the Company or the Common Stock.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
There have been no material changes to the information last reported in Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D with respect to the identity and background of the reporting persons.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
There have been no material changes to the information last reported in Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
“Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction” of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Reporting Persons acquired all of the shares of Common Stock reported in this Statement over time through open market purchases or pursuant to the exercise of put options by the counterparties thereto. Between the date of filing of the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D and the date of this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Persons have net disposed of 526,884 shares of the Common Stock.
As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Persons are short 1 put option contract expiring in 2021 with an exercise price of $5.00 per share, and will be required to purchase additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to such option if exercised by the counterparties thereto.
The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 is to report the sale of certain shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock by the Reporting Persons. As a result of such sales, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. As such, the filing of this Amendment No. 2 represents the final amendment to the Original Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
“Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer” of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 2, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 2,565,000 shares of Common Stock, which represents 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock.
(b) The Reporting Persons have shared voting and dispositive power over all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Neither of the Reporting Persons have sole voting or dispositive power with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(c) Transactions by the Reporting Persons in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the last sixty days are as follows:
