This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

On  June 2, 2022, Standard General and the Issuer entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of the 17,449,272 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Standard General on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until the earlier of the third anniversary of the Letter Agreement and the time when all such shares have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any limitation as to manner-of-sale restrictions or volume limitations (the “Registration Period”). Sales of such shares  are subject to certain limitations as specified in the Letter Agreement.

Under the Letter Agreement, Standard General has also agreed, subject to certain limitations, that during the Registration Period it and its affiliates will refrain from seeking to acquire the Company or any of its material assets, or proposing mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations involving the Company; (D) acquiring additional shares of Common Stock of Company following which Standard General and its affiliates  would economically own or have a total net long position greater than 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; and (E) certain other actions specified in the Letter Agreement.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment and incorporated herein by reference.
