The following constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 5”). This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by each of Engaged Capital Flagship Master and held in the Engaged Capital Account were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 7,505,432 Shares beneficially owned by Engaged Capital Flagship Master is approximately $42,774,149, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 601,718 Shares held in the Engaged Capital Account is approximately $3,488,915, including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 96,699,554 Shares outstanding as of November 3, 2022, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2022.

As of the date hereof, Engaged Capital Flagship Master beneficially owned 7,505,432 Shares, constituting approximately 7.8% of the Shares outstanding. Each of Engaged Capital Fund and Engaged Capital Offshore, as feeder funds of Engaged Capital Flagship Master, may be deemed to beneficially own the 7,505,432 Shares owned by Engaged Capital Flagship Master, constituting approximately 7.8% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the date hereof, 601,718 Shares were held in the Engaged Capital Account, constituting less than 1% of the Shares outstanding.

Engaged Capital, as the general partner and investment adviser of Engaged Capital Flagship Master and the investment adviser of the Engaged Capital Account, may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,107,150 Shares owned in the aggregate by Engaged Capital Flagship Master and held in the Engaged Capital Account, constituting approximately 8.4% of the Shares outstanding. Engaged Holdings, as the managing member of Engaged Capital, may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,107,150 Shares owned in the aggregate by Engaged Capital Flagship Master and held in the Engaged Capital Account, constituting approximately 8.4% of the Shares outstanding.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On November 8, 2022, the Board granted the Reporting Persons an additional limited exemption (the “Second Exemption”) to the Issuer’s Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated as of November 11, 2021 and amended as of April 29, 2022 (the “NOL Pill”), allowing the Reporting Persons to acquire up to an additional 2,000,000 Shares without becoming deemed an Acquiring Person (as defined in the NOL Pill). A copy of the Second Exemption is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
