Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Avanish Vellanki (the “Reporting Person”) on April 29, 2023 (the “Schedule 13D”).

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D as previously amended. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

 

This Amendment supplements the disclosure in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, as previously amended, by adding the following:

 

On December 13, 2023, the Issuer filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Merger 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing that on December 13, 2023, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pathos AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and WK Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). According to the Merger 8-K, the Merger Agreement provides, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for (i) the acquisition of the Issuer by Parent through a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) by Merger Sub for all of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock for: (A) $1.16 per share and (B) contingent cash payments pursuant to a contingent value rights agreement to be entered into at or prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) among Parent, Merger Sub, a rights agent and a representative, agent and attorney in-fact of the holders of CVRs (the amounts set forth in clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the “Offer Price”), and (ii) following the completion of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. As further described in the Merger 8-K, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders, each outstanding share of Common Stock (other than certain excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price.

 

In connection with Issuer’s entry into the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Person entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed, among other things, to irrevocably tender the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person in the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of such agreement. The Support Agreement will terminate upon certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement or if the Issuer’s Board of Directors votes to approve a superior proposal. By entering into the Support Agreement, the Reporting Person has also agreed to other customary terms and conditions, including certain transfer and voting restrictions, in respect of shares of Common Stock that it beneficially owns.

 

The Issuer filed the Merger Agreement as an exhibit to the Merger 8-K. A form of the referenced Support Agreement is attached to this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit 3. The foregoing summaries of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Support Agreement are qualified by reference to those documents and are not substitutes for reading those documents in their entirety.

 

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

 

This Item 6 incorporates by reference the information in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 1 regarding the Support Agreement.

 

Item 7.Material to Be Filed as Exhibits

 

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

 

Exhibit 3. Support Agreement by and among Pathos AI, Inc., WK Merger Sub, Inc., and the Reporting Person, dated December 13, 2023.

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
