CUSIP No.  63938C108

SCHEDULE 13D/A

 

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 (Amendment No. 2) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on April 4, 2018, as amended prior to the date of Amendment No. 2 (as so amended, the Original Schedule 13D). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Original Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein (as so amended, the Schedule 13D).

 

Item 3.                                 Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

A total of approximately $330,995,604 was paid to acquire such Common Stock. Funds for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock reported herein were derived from the working capital of the Accounts and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such shares of Common Stock were purchased by the Reporting Persons through custody accounts and/or commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and 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 account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the brokers call rate from time to time in effect. Because 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 of Common Stock reported herein.

 

Item 4.                                 Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On February 15, 2019, CCA, on behalf of its managed funds and accounts, expressed to the Issuer its non-binding interest, as part of a consortium that would include a private equity firm, in acquiring the Issuer for a purchase price of $12.50 per share in cash, assuming satisfactory completion of diligence and agreement on all terms.  At that time, CCA also requested the Board to postpone the deadline for action at the Issuers annual meeting of stockholders to at least April 15, 2019, with the goal of announcing a transaction at or prior to that time, and indicated it was standing by over the weekend to negotiate the agreement concerning the postponement.

 

On February 16, 2019, the Issuer asked for additional information.  CCA provided additional information on February 17, 2019, and the next day, the Issuer issued a press release and sent CCA a letter indicating that the Issuer was rejecting the indication of interest and was not willing to postpone the deadline.  On February 19, 2019, CCA sent a letter to the Board and issued a press release correcting the record on a number of claims the Issuer had made in its letter and press release.

 

Item 5.                                 Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Items 5(a)-(c) of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(a)                                                         See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and the percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. The percentage reported in this Schedule 13D is calculated based upon 247,366,088 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 22, 2019, as derived by subtracting the repurchase of 10.6 million shares of Common Stock by the Issuer (as disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2019) from the 257,966,088 shares of Common Stock reported as outstanding as of September 30, 2018 in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018.

 

(b)                                                         See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.

 

(c)                                                          There have been no transactions in the shares of Common Stock during the past sixty days by any of the Reporting Persons.
