CUSIP No. 09180C106

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 as follows:

The Shares purchased by the Reporting Person 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 2,301,476 Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is approximately $72,291,324 (excluding approximately $37,521,629 notional value of the Cash-Settled Swaps (as defined in Item 6 below)), including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

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

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by the Reporting Person is based on 23,366,951 Shares outstanding as of February 26, 2024, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2024.

As of date hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 2,301,476 Shares, constituting approximately 9.85% of the outstanding Shares.

(b)       The Reporting Person has sole power (i) to vote or direct the vote of, and (ii) to dispose or direct the disposition of, the 2,301,476 Shares held by the Funds.

(c)       The transactions in the Shares by the Reporting Person since the filing of Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

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

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

In addition to the Shares referenced above, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Person has entered into cash-settled swaps (the “Cash-Settled Swaps”) with an unaffiliated third-party financial institution that references 1,050,924 Shares (representing economic exposure comparable to approximately 4.5% of the outstanding Shares). The Cash-Settled Swaps can only be settled in cash and do not permit settlement in the form of Shares. The Cash-Settled Swaps does not give the Reporting Person, directly or indirectly, the power to vote or direct the voting or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the Shares referenced by the Cash-Settled Swaps, nor does it require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer.
