The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 888 Seventh Avenue, 40th Floor, New York, New York 10106.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a) This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Highland Capital Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Highland Services”), Highland Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Highland Capital”), Highland Select Equity Master Fund, L.P., a Bermuda limited partnership (the “Master Fund”), Highland Select Equity Fund GP, L.P.

Certain of the Reporting Persons previously filed a Schedule 13D with the Commission on October 24, 2006, as amended by amendments filed with the Commission on October 25, 2006, November 17, 2006, March 15, 2007, March 28, 2007, February 5, 2008 and September 9, 2010. Certain of the Reporting Persons previously filed a Schedule 13G on October 2, 2012, as amended by amendments filed with the Commission on February 14, 2013 and February 14, 2014.

The agreement among the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule 13D. The information required by general instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to the executive officers, directors and other controlling persons of the Reporting Persons and other related persons (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) is set forth on Appendix I to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

Based on the relationships described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). As a member of a group, each Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to, and therefore beneficially own, the shares beneficially owned by members of the group as a whole. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those shares held by any other member of the group. In addition, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.

(b) The business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 300 Crescent Court, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75201.

(c) The principal business of each of Highland Services, the Master Fund, the Global Allocation Fund and the Credit Fund is to acquire, hold and dispose of interests in various companies for investment purposes and to take all actions incident thereto.

(d) During the last five years, none of the Covered Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, if any).

(e) During the last five years, none of the Covered Persons was 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.

Item 3. Source of Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The Reporting Persons have acquired an aggregate of 2,130,359 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), which are reported herein, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $82,000,000 with a combination of funds from accounts which Mr. Dondero may be deemed to control. Purchases of securities are typically effected through margin accounts maintained with brokers, which may extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the brokers’ credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business.

On August 4, 2014, the Reporting Persons sent a letter to the Board of Directors of the Issuer raising concerns about a proposed sale of the Issuer or its largest asset, Telesat Holdings, Inc. A copy of the notification letter delivered to the Issuer is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Based on the letter, the Reporting Persons determined that it may be deemed to hold the securities with a purpose or effect of influencing the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons expect to review from time to time their investment in the Issuer and may, depending on the market and other conditions, including the response of the Board of Directors to the letter described above: (a) purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Issuer, warrants, options or related derivatives in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (b) sell all or a portion of the Shares, warrants, options or related derivatives now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; or (c) consider and take such other actions as it deems to be in its interest and the interests of other stockholders of the Company from time to time.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth and/or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

(a) The aggregate number of Common Stock and the percentage of total outstanding Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is 2,130,359 shares of Common Stock, which consists of 1,470,359 shares of Common Stock and 6,600 options to purchase 660,000 shares of Common Stock. The 2,130,359 shares of Common Stock constitutes 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock, calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act.
