AMENDMENT NO. 23 TO SCHEDULE 13D

Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

This Twenty-Third Amendment is being filed to make updates and amendments to the Schedule 13D as follows:

 

Item 1.      Security and Issuer

 

There are no changes to the Item 1 information previously filed.

 

Item 2.      Identity and Background

 

Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented by (i) revising the definition of “Reporting Persons” to also include Alexandria Nicole Mitchell Trust #2005 (“Alexandria Trust”), Elizabeth Lee Mitchell Trust #2005 (“Elizabeth Trust”), Noah Malone Mitchell, 4th Trust #2005 (“Noah Trust”) and Stevenson Briggs Mitchell effective as of the date hereof and (ii) adding the following paragraphs thereto:

The address of the principal office of each Reporting Person, except Stevenson Briggs Mitchell, is 16803 Dallas Parkway, Suite 200, Addison, Texas 75001.

 

The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons identified in this Item 2 are, for purposes of Section 13 of the Act, the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Item 3.      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the last paragraph of Item 3 and adding the following paragraphs thereto:

“In addition to the Item 3 information previously filed and as further set forth in Item 4, Malone Mitchell and his affiliated entities are in discussions to acquire the Issuer’s equity that are not currently owned by Malone Mitchell and his affiliated entities. It is anticipated that the funding for any definitive transaction (as described in Item 4) will be provided by equity financing. The equity financing is expected to be provided by Malone Mitchell and his affiliated entities, provided, however that Malone Mitchell and his affiliated entities may partner with one or more parties to collectively raise sufficient funds to acquire 100% of the Issuer’s equity. Such equity financing is expected to be provided in the form of cash and through the rollover of a certain amount of the equity interests in the Issuer held by Malone Mitchell and his affiliated entities and one or more parties, as applicable.

While it is anticipated that Malone Mitchell and his affiliated entities will utilize equity capital, the parties may utilize a combination of debt and equity capital, including debt financing provided by loans from third party financial institutions or other third parties.

On December 31, 2019 the Issuer issued 2,606,775 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Longfellow and 206,186 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Dalea as a quarterly PIK dividend. No funds were used in connection with the acquisition of such PIK dividends.”

Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the following language thereto:

 

“The Reporting Persons intend to pursue the acquisition of 100% of the Issuer’s equity. The Reporting Persons expect to commence non-binding negotiations with the Issuer to consummate such acquisition and the Reporting Persons may terminate any such discussions at any time in their sole discretion. There can be no assurance that such acquisition will be agreed to or consummated. The Reporting Persons do not undertake to amend this Schedule 13D to reflect any discussions with the Issuer regarding the proposal made until such time, if any, as a definitive agreement is reached.

 

If the Reporting Persons reach an agreement with funding, sources and with the Issuer, it is expected that the contemplated transaction will be subject to (i) shareholder approval, (ii) potentially the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (iii) satisfaction of all consents, approvals or authorizations of, declarations or filings under applicable all applicable laws (domestic and foreign), including competition laws and investment laws.

 

If the proposed acquisition of 100% of the Issuer’s equity were to succeed, the Reporting Persons intend to delist the Issuer’s securities from all stock exchanges and to terminate the securities registration of all outstanding securities.”

 

Item 4 is hereby further amended and supplemented by adding the following language thereto:

 

“On April 14, 2020, Mr. Mitchell, Dalea, Longfellow, the Alexandria Trust, the Noah Trust, the Elizabeth Trust and Mr. Stevenson Briggs Mitchell (collectively, the “Preferred Group”) submitted an initial non-binding preliminary letter of intent and term sheet (the “Initial Proposal”) to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”). In the Initial Proposal, the Preferred Group proposed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. On April 18, 2020, the Board rejected the Preferred Group’s Initial

 

 

 

 

 

Proposal based on their view of the purchase price. On April 21, 2020, the Preferred Group submitted a revised non-binding preliminary letter of intent and term sheet to the Board (the “Revised Proposal” and together with the Initial Proposal, the “Proposal”). The Proposal also provided that, among other things, the Preferred Group would negotiate and execute definitive agreements with respect to the contemplated transaction that would provide for representations, warranties, covenants and conditions that would be market and appropriate for transactions of this type. If such acquisition transaction is carried out and consummated, the Reporting Persons intend to delist the Issuer’s securities from all stock exchanges and the registration of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer is expected to be terminated.

 

Additionally, on April 14, 2020, in connection with the Initial Proposal, the Preferred Group also submitted a non-binding preliminary proposal to the remaining shareholders of Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares of the Issuer (the “Other Preferred Shareholders” and together with the Preferred Group, the “Preferred Consortium”) to participate alongside the Preferred Group in any potential acquisition transaction (the “Preferred SH Proposal”) on the same terms as the Preferred Group as set forth in the Proposal. In connection with the Preferred SH Proposal, the Preferred Group proposes that the Preferred Consortium enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Preferred Consortium (and each of the members thereof) would agree to, among other things, (i) appoint Malone Mitchell as the lead negotiator, (ii) cooperate and proceed in good faith in undertaking due diligence, if required, engage in discussions with the Issuer regarding the Proposal and/or an acquisition transaction of the Issuer (the “Transaction”), negotiate and finalize the definitive documentation in connection with the Transaction and take any action or refrain from taking any action to comply with the obligations, satisfy the closing conditions or exercise the rights under such definitive documentation and (iii) for a period ending on the earlier of (A) 6 months after the date the Preferred Consortium enters into an agreement to cooperate or (B) the termination of any such agreement pursuant to its terms, work exclusively with each other with respect to the Transaction and vote all equity securities held or otherwise beneficially owned by it or its affiliates in the Issuer in favor of the authorization and approval of the Transaction and any definitive documentation in connection therewith and against any other proposal opposed to the Transaction or that otherwise that could prevent, impede or, in any material respect, interfere therewith.

 

References to the Proposal in this Schedule 13D are qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revised Proposal, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.”

 

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5(a), Item 5(b) and Item 5(c) are hereby amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:

 

“(a) Amount beneficially owned
