Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

The 3,290,120 Shares (including the Convertible Notes) reported herein by the Reporting Person were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24,002,538. Such Shares (and the Convertible Notes) were acquired with the working capital of the Fund and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares or Convertible Notes reported herein.

 

 

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

The Reporting Person acquired the Shares and the Convertible Notes because it believed the securities were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Person has had and expects to continue to have discussions with the Issuer’s management and other shareholders regarding ways to maximize shareholder value, including the business, operations, governance, management, strategy, and future plans of the Issuer. However, the Reporting Person now believes it would be beneficial to engage more substantively with the Issuer's management. The Reporting Person may also take further steps including engaging in discussions with shareholders, management, the board and other interested parties regarding such matters as strategic alternatives including exploring a sale of the Issuer, as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board of directors of the Issuer, price levels of the Shares and Convertible Notes, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Shares, Convertible Notes or derivative securities related thereto or selling some or all of its Shares or Convertible Notes or any such derivative securities, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares or Convertible Notes, and, alone or with others, pursuing discussions with the management, the board of directors of the Issuer, other shareholders of the Issuer and third parties with regard to its investment in the Issuer, and/or otherwise changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
