The following constitutes amendment number 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D, as specifically set forth herein.

  

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On September 9, 2019, AB Value Management delivered an open letter to the Board which, among other things, condemned the Board for disenfranchising stockholders and further entrenching itself by (i) needlessly delaying the Annual Meeting to a date that is more than sixteen (16) months from the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders in violation of Section 211(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), (ii) denying AB Value Management’s valid request, made pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL, to inspect the books and records of the Issuer containing information that would allow AB Value Management to confirm that the Board has undertaken a strategic review process in direct response to our Notice and Schedule 13D and (iii) refusing to meet with AB Value Management’s highly-qualified Nominees, despite AB Value Management’s timely and qualifying Notice. In the letter, AB Value Management demanded that the Issuer hold the Annual Meeting as soon as possible.

 

The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

99.1   Letter to the Board of the Issuer, dated September 9, 2019.
