The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 3. | |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 4. Investment Agreements On November 3, 2025 (the "Initial Issue Date"), HHCF Sub entered into (i) a Series A Investment Agreement with the Issuer (the "Series A Investment Agreement") pursuant to which the Issuer issued and sold to HHCF Sub an aggregate of 35,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Issuer of $35,000,000 (the "Series A Issuance"), and (ii) a Series B Investment Agreement with the Issuer (the "Series B Investment Agreement, and together with the Series A Investment Agreement, the "Investment Agreements") pursuant to which the Issuer issued and sold to HHCF Sub an aggregate of 30,000 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, resulting in total gross proceeds to the Issuer of $30,000,000 (the "Series B Issuance", and together with the Series A Issuance, the "Preferred Stock Issuances") The initial conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is $12.32 and the initial conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is $11.39. If HHCF Sub were to convert all of its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to Common Stock, and exercise in full the Warrants (as defined below) to purchase shares of Common Stock, HHCF Sub would beneficially own an aggregate of 6,121,064 shares of Common Stock representing 57.26% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. However, pursuant to the terms of the Certificates of Designations (as defined in Item 6 below), unless and until approval of the Issuer's stockholders is obtained as contemplated by Nasdaq listing rules (the "Requisite Stockholder Approval"), no holder of Preferred Stock may convert shares of Preferred Stock through either an optional or a mandatory conversion into shares of Common Stock if and to the extent that such conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast generally at a meeting of the Issuer's stockholders held for the election of directors by all outstanding shares of Common Stock as of immediately prior to the closing of the Preferred Stock Issuances (regardless of class) (such limitation, the "Ownership Limitation"). Director Nomination Agreement On the Initial Issue Date, the Issuer entered into a director nomination agreement (the "Director Nomination Agreement") with HHCF Sub. Pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, HHCF Sub is permitted to nominate up to three persons (the "HHCF Designated Directors") for nomination for election to the board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") of the Issuer, two of whom shall be a Class I Director and one of whom shall be a Class III director, provided that that (1) prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, HHCF Sub only has the right to nominate two such nominees, and (2) two of HHCF Sub's nominees must qualify as independent under all applicable listing standards, not be affiliated with HHCF Sub, or have any agreement, arrangement or understanding with HHCF Sub regarding such person's service as a director of the Issuer. HHCF Sub's right to nominate three persons for nomination for election to the Board of Directors terminates upon such time as HHCF Sub owns less than one third (1/3) the total voting power on a fully diluted basis of the voting equity securities of the Issuer. The initial HHCF Designated Directors as of the Initial Issue Date are Philip Key Bartow III and Jeffrey Rubin (who have been named as Class I Directors) and Daniel Easley (who shall be named as a Class III Director). On the Initial Issue Date, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Issuer, the Board of Directors determined that it was advisable and in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders to accept the resignations of each of Brian Hirsch, Chris Masto and Jane J. Thompson as members of the Board of Directors and appointed (by filling of a vacancy) each of (i) Philip Key Bartow III and Jeffrey Rubin to serve as Class I directors, with an initial term expiring at the Issuer's 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and Derek Medlin, President of the Issuer, to serve as a Class III director, with an initial term expiring at the Issuer's 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, effective as of the closing of the Preferred Stock Issuances and (ii) Daniel Easley to serve as a Class III director, with an initial term expiring at the Issuer's 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, effective immediately following the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Warrants On November 3, 2025, warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate 646,264 shares of Common Stock held by various funds and accounts managed by Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP, including: Blue Owl Asset Income Fund IV LP, Blue Owl Asset Income Fund V LP, Blue Owl Asset Income Fund (Cayman) IV LP, Blue Owl Asset Income Fund (Cayman) V LP, Blue Owl Asset Special Opportunities Fund VII LP, Blue Owl Asset Special Opportunities Fund (Cayman) VII LP and ACM Alamosa (Cayman) Holdco LP, were assigned and transferred for no consideration to HHCF Sub. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 486,264 shares of Common Stock have an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock and expire on June 12, 2032. Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares of Common Stock have an exercise price of $0.25 per share of Common Stock and expire on March 6, 2030. The foregoing description of the Warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrants which is attached to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 9 and Exhibit 10, and is incorporated herein by reference. General The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Stock described herein for investment purposes. Consistent with the Reporting Persons' investment purposes, the Reporting Persons intend to review their investment on a regular basis and, as a result thereof and, subject to the terms of the Investment Agreements, the Certificates of Designations and the Director Nomination Agreement, retain the right to change their investment intent, from time to time or at any time, and they may either alone or in concert with others, without the prior consent or approval of the Board (i) acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or instruments of the Issuer, in any amount that the Reporting Persons may determine in their sole discretion, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including a transaction, or a series of related transactions, as a result of which the Reporting Persons (directly or indirectly) may acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and all securities of the Issuer convertible or exchangeable into such shares not held by any of the Reporting Persons] (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Reporting Persons' shares of Common Stock or other securities or instruments of the Issuer, in any amount that the Reporting Persons may determine in their sole discretion, if any, beneficially owned by them, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (iii) make, or in any way participate in any "solicitation" of "proxies" to vote or "consents", or seek to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of any voting securities of the Issuer, including, without limitation, with respect to the election or removal of directors or to approve shareholder proposals with respect to the Issuer, (iv) make any public statements and/or announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for, or offer of (with or without conditions) any extraordinary business transaction involving the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer or their securities, or (v) enter into any discussions, arrangements or understandings with any third party (including security holders of the Issuer) with respect to any of the foregoing, including forming, joining or participating in a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) with any third party with respect to any shares of Common Stock or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, in each case, in any manner permitted by applicable law, the Investment Agreements, the Certificates of Designations or the Director Nomination Agreement. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time or at any time, consider any such matters and may engage in communications with, without limitation, management or directors of the Issuer and may make suggestions concerning the Issuer's operations, prospects, business and financial strategies, strategic direction and transactions, assets and liabilities, business and financing alternatives, future plans of the Issuer and such other matters as the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their investment in the shares. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their purpose and to formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer at any time and from time to time. Subject to applicable law and the terms of the Investment Agreements, the Certificates of Designations and the Director Nomination Agreement, any such action may be taken or advocated by the Reporting Persons alone or in conjunction with other shareholders, potential acquirers, financing sources and/or other third parties, and could include one or more purposes, plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions, matters or effects enumerated in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. Any actions taken by the Reporting Persons shall at all times be consistent with their obligations under the Investment Agreements, the Certificates of Designations and the Director Nomination Agreement. | |

| (e) | Not applicable. |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Investment Agreements On the Initial Issue Date, HHCF Sub entered into the Investment Agreements with the Issuer, pursuant to which HHCF Sub purchased: (i) an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $35,000,000 and (ii) an aggregate of 35,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $30,000,000. Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Certificate of Designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock As set forth in the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 3, 2025, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will initially have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share; provided that the liquidation preference in dissolution or upon a change of control shall be increased to be 175% of the then applicable liquidation preference, as described in the Certificate of Designations, which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and became effective on the Initial Issue Date. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will rank senior to the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Common Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will initially have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share; provided that the liquidation preference in dissolution or upon a change of control shall be increased to be 175% of the then applicable liquidation preference, as described in the Certificate of Designations, which will be filed by the Issuer with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and became effective on or the Initial Issue Date (the "Series B Certificate of Designations" and together with the Series A Certificate of Designations, the "Certificates of Designations"). Holders of shares of Preferred Stock will be entitled to a regular dividend (each, a "Dividend"), which will be payable (1) weekly, for the period beginning on, and including, November 3, 2025 and ending on, but excluding, the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, and (2) quarterly, beginning on, and including, the date the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained. The Dividends accrue at an annual rate of (a) 18% per annum for the period beginning on, and including, the Initial Issue Date and ending on, but excluding, the later of (i) the date of the meeting at which the Issuer's stockholders vote for the Requisite Stockholder Approval is approved and (ii) the date of the Issuer's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and (b) 12% per annum beginning on, and including, the later of (i) the date of the meeting at which the Issuer's stockholders vote for the Requisite Stockholder Approval is approved and (ii) the date of the Issuer's 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. If the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or before the earlier of (a) the date of the Issuer's first annual or special meeting of stockholders following the Initial Issue Date and (b) February 27, 2026, then the Dividend rate will be increased by one percent (1%) during the period from, and including, such deadline to, but excluding, the date when the Requisite Stockholder Approval is first obtained, if at all. For any week or quarter, as the case may be, in which the Issuer elects not to pay a Dividend in cash with respect to a share of Preferred Stock, such Dividend will become part of the liquidation preference of such share, as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. In addition, no dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock will be declared or paid on the Common Stock unless, at the time of such declaration and payment, an equivalent dividend or distribution is declared and paid on the Preferred Stock. Holders of Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in and receive any dividends declared or paid on the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, and no dividends may be paid to holders of Common Stock unless full participating dividends are concurrently paid to holders of Preferred Stock. Conversion Rights and Mandatory Conversion Each holder of Preferred Stock will have the right, at its option, to convert its Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. The initial conversion rate of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is set at 81.16883 shares of Common Stock, based on an implied initial conversion price of $12.32 per share of Common Stock. The initial conversion rate of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is set at 87.79631 shares of Common Stock, based on an implied initial conversion price of $11.39 per share of Common Stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events. The conversion rate is also subject to adjustment for certain dilutive offerings occurring during the first nine months following the Initial Issue Date, with any such adjustment prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval being limited by a cap based on the closing price for the Common Stock on October 31, 2025 of $11.39. Subject to certain conditions described below, the Issuer may, at its option, after the second anniversary of the Initial Issue Date require conversion of all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to Common Stock if, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date the Issuer notifies holders of the Preferred Stock of the election to convert, the closing sale price of the Common Stock is at least 115% of the conversion price. The Issuer will not exercise its right to mandatorily convert all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock unless (i) certain liquidity conditions with regard to the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are satisfied, and (ii) either (1) the Requisite Stockholder Approval has been obtained or (2) the Issuer has previously held one or more meetings of its stockholders for purposes of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Pursuant to the terms of the Certificates of Designations, unless and until the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no holder of Preferred Stock may convert shares of Preferred Stock through either an optional or a mandatory conversion into shares of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limitation. If HHCF Sub were to convert all of its shares of Preferred Stock, and exercise in full the Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, HHCF Sub would beneficially own an aggregate of 6,121,064 shares of Common Stock representing 57.26% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Voting and Consent Rights Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock generally are entitled to vote with the holders of the shares Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of shares of Common Stock (voting together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as one class) on an as-converted basis (assuming the conversion price is never adjusted below $11.39). Except as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights. Certain matters will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as separate classes, including (1) amendments, modifications or repeal of any provision of the Issuer's certificate of incorporation to create, or to increase the authorized numbers of shares of any class or series of senior or parity equity securities or any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of senior or parity equity securities, (2) amendments, modifications or repeal of any provision of the Issuer's certificate of incorporation that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, (3) to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, or issue additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, and (4) certain business combinations and binding or statutory share exchanges or reclassification involving the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be, unless such events do not adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, as the case may be. Repurchase Rights Each Investor will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Investor's Convertible Preferred Stock upon the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) meeting certain criteria, at a price equal to 175% of the then applicable liquidation preference and on the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations. The Issuer will have the right to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, at a price equal to the then applicable liquidation preference, on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. Transfer Restrictions Until the earlier of (x) twelve (12) months following the closing of the Preferred Stock Issuance, and (y) the occurrence of a transaction resulting in a Fundamental Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), HHCF Sub is restricted from transferring the Preferred Stock and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock, subject to certain specified exceptions set forth in the Investment Agreements. Subject to certain conditions, these restrictions do not prohibit any lien on any share of Preferred Stock or of any share of Common Stock issued in conversion thereof, or any exercise of remedies with respect to any such liens pursuant to one or more credit facilities of HHCF Sub or any back leverage financing.
