Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

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

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated by addition of the following:

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

 

10% Notes

 

On April 6, 2018, the Issuer issued to each of Wynnefield Partners I and Wynnefield Partners (i) 10% Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes (the “10% Notes”) in the principal amounts set forth below; and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 3,437,500 shares of Common Stock.

The Warrants

 

The Warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, beginning on April 6, 2018, and will be exercisable for a period of three years. The exercise price with respect to the warrants is $0.05 per share. The exercise price and the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other similar issuances. 

 

The foregoing description of the 10% Notes and the Warrants is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the 10% Notes and the Warrants, the forms of which are filed hereto as Exhibits 8and 9, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

 

Other than as set forth in this Item 4, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons do not have any current plans, proposals or negotiations that relate to or would result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Wynnefield Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, and to the extent permitted by law, may seek to engage in discussions with other stockholders and/or with management and the Board of the Issuer concerning the business, operations or future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons may, in the future, take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock, selling shares of Common Stock, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock, taking any other action with respect to the Issuer or any of its securities in any manner permitted by law or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4. 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the 13D is hereby amended and restated by the addition of the following:

 

(a), (b) and (c) As of April 6, 2018, the Wynnefield Reporting Persons beneficially owned in the aggregate 54,797,748 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 32.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 170,438,061 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 4, 2018 which includes (i) 165,438,061 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 30, 2018 as set forth in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 2, 2018; and (ii) 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons.

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to Common Stock directly beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons listed below:

*Percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock is based on 165,438,061 outstanding shares of Common Stock, plus 5,000,000 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by Wynnefield Partners I and Wynnefield Partners.

 

WCM is the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Partners and Wynnefield Partners I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as co-managing members of WCM, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

WCI is the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. WCI, as the sole investment manager of Wynnefield Offshore, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the Common Stock that Wynnefield Offshore beneficially owns. Messrs. Obus and Landes are executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes, as executive officers of WCI, share the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own.

 

The Plan is an employee profit sharing plan. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-trustees of the Plan and accordingly, Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that the Plan may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as the trustees of the Plan, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Plan.

 

Beneficial ownership of the Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Schedule 13D for each member of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Reporting Persons were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 54,797,748 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 32.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons is based upon 170,438,061 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 4, 2018 which includes (i) 165,438,061 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 30, 2018 as set forth in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 2, 2018; and (ii) 5,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) beneficially owned by the Wynnefield Reporting Persons.
