The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D. Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
|
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction.
|
Item 4 is amended to add the following:
To the extent the Issuer will not explore strategic alternatives to maximize value for all shareholders, the Reporting Persons believe the Board should voluntarily consider making a proposal to shareholders to restructure the terms of the Preferred Stock on terms to be determined by the Board, including offering to redeem the Preferred Stock using either cash or shares of common stock to satisfy the Preferred Stock’s 20 years of cumulative unpaid dividends and liquidation preference. The Reporting Persons have and intend to continue to engage in discussions with the Issuer’s management, Board, shareholders and other interested parties regarding these matters.
SIGNATURES
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
