CUSIP No. 749119103

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 6”). This Amendment No. 6 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On June 5, 2023, Engaged Capital and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Engaged”) entered into a Cooperation Agreement (the “2023 Cooperation Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the 2023 Cooperation Agreement, the Issuer agreed with Engaged that Tracey Figurelli and Kate Vanek will be nominated for election to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Issuer’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) alongside current directors Joseph Reece, Michael Wargotz, Matthew Krepsik and Robert McDonald. The size of the Board will be reduced to seven directors effective as of the 2023 Annual Meeting, with five current directors departing the Board at such time. Kim Ansett will continue in her current term as a director, which expires at the Issuer’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”).

 

Pursuant to the 2023 Cooperation Agreement, Engaged is subject to certain customary standstill restrictions (including with respect to nominating persons for election to the Board, submitting any proposal for consideration at any stockholder meeting and soliciting any proxy, consent or other authority to vote from stockholders or conducting any other referendum (including any “withhold,” “vote no” or similar campaign)) from the date of the 2023 Cooperation Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) 30 calendar days prior to the deadline for submission of stockholder nominations of director candidates for the 2024 Annual Meeting, (ii) 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the 2023 Annual Meeting and (iii) the consummation of an Extraordinary Transaction (as defined in the 2023 Cooperation Agreement) (such earliest date, the “Termination Date”). Until the Termination Date, Engaged also agreed to vote its Shares (a) in favor of the nominees for director recommended by the Board and (b) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to any other matter presented to stockholders; provided, however, that if Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) recommends otherwise with respect to any proposals (other than as related to the election of directors), Engaged is permitted to vote in accordance with ISS’s recommendation; provided, further, that Engaged is permitted to vote in its sole discretion with respect to any publicly announced proposals relating to an Extraordinary Transaction. Until the Termination Date, Engaged also agreed not to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the outstanding Shares.

 

The foregoing description of the 2023 Cooperation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2023 Cooperation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

As of the date hereof, Engaged Capital Flagship Master beneficially owned 7,505,432 Shares, constituting approximately 7.6% 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 7.6% 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 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 8.2% 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.

(c)       There have been no transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
