Eastwind was formed in 2001 and received its Shares pursuant to various transfers for investment purposes, and additional Shares were contributed to Eastwind in 2002.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

On February 8, 2021, the Reporting Persons entered into a common interest agreement (the “Agreement”), thereby forming a group under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that consists of the Reporting Persons (the “Group”). Pursuant to the rules of the SEC promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Group was deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act, of all equity securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by each member of the Group. The total number of Shares beneficially owned by the Group as of the date hereof is 2,821,271, or approximately 57.19% of the 4,933,281 common shares outstanding as of January 10, 2021, as publicly reported by the Issuer in its definitive proxy statement filed on January 29, 2021.

 

Under the Agreement, the Reporting Persons have agreed (i) to jointly seek additional information from the management of the Issuer regarding the performance and operations of the Issuer; (ii) to consider certain steps that may be necessary to preserve and enhance the value of the Issuer’s common stock, which may include, but are not limited to, (A) replacing the current board of directors of the Issuer, (B) proposing amendments to the Issuer’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, and (C) making changes in the Issuer’s investment policy, business or corporate structure, and (iii) to cause, at any meeting of shareholders of the Issuer called to vote upon the election and/or removal of directors of the Issuer or at any adjournment or postponement thereof or in any circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent in lieu of a meeting) with respect to the election and/or removal of directors, (A) the Shares held by such Reporting Person to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum; and (B) such Reporting Person’s Shares to be voted (1) in favor of the removal of any directors of the Issuer as agreed upon by the Reporting Persons; (2) in favor of any nominee for election to the Issuer’s board of directors chosen by the Reporting Persons; and (3) against any matter that could reasonably be expected to delay, prevent, impede or frustrate the matters contemplated by the Agreement. Each Reporting Person has also agreed that at any time a matter other than the election or removal of directors is submitted to the shareholders of the Issuer, each Reporting Person shall cause his, her or its Shares to be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum and shall vote (or cause to be voted) his, her or its Shares as may be agreed upon by the Reporting Persons from time to time, such agreement to be evidenced by approval of such Reporting Persons who are the holders of a majority of the Shares subject to the Agreement.

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, each of Anvil, Hermitage, Harvey F. Gortner and Terri Kenefsky constitutes and appoints as the proxy of such Reporting Person and grants a power of attorney to J. Edgar Broyhill II, and each of Eastwind, Martha Sutton, Richard Stevens, Jan Gordon, Michael Dickson and Robert Dickson constitutes and appoints as the proxy of such Reporting Person and grants a power of attorney to David Gilbert, in each case with respect to the matters set forth in the Agreement and authorizes Mr. Broyhill or Mr. Gilbert, as applicable, to represent and vote, if and only if such Reporting Person fails to vote, or attempts to vote (whether by proxy, in person or by written consent) in a manner which is inconsistent with the terms of the Agreement, all of such Reporting Person’s Shares in favor of the election and/or removal of persons as members of the board of directors of the Issuer and on such other matters submitted to the shareholders of the Issuer, each as determined pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement. Each of the proxy and power of attorney granted pursuant to the Agreement shall be irrevocable unless and until the Agreement terminates or expires pursuant to its terms.

 

In addition, under the Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons has agreed to reimburse those Reporting Persons who have paid and will pay for the fees incurred for services by legal counsel and the forensic accounting firm performed pursuant to the Agreement, so that all costs will be shared in an amount based on the collective pro-rata ownership in the Issuer among the Reporting Persons. The foregoing obligations of each Reporting Person are several and not joint, and no Reporting Person shall be liable for the costs of any other Reporting Person. Such aggregate costs shall not exceed $160,000 without prior approval of the Reporting Persons.. The Agreement will generally terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Reporting Persons mutually agree or (ii) the first anniversary of the date thereof, unless such date is extended by agreement of the Reporting Persons.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement in this Schedule 13D does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

NEITHER THE AGREEMENT NOR THIS SCHEDULE 13D IS A SOLICITATION AND NO SHAREHOLDER OF THE ISSUER IS REQUESTED TO JOIN THE AGREEMENT.

 

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time in the future express their views to and/or meet with management, the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other shareholders or third parties, including, potential acquirers, service providers and financing sources, and/or formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, its assets or its securities. Such plans or proposals may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in one or more of the changes referred to herein, or any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

  (a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Shares and percentages of the Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.
