SCHEDULE 13D
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment No.
3”) to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) amends and supplements the Schedule
13D, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 27, 2018 and amended by Amendment No.1 thereto
filed with the SEC on June 14, 2019 and further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on January 22, 2021 (the Schedule
13D as amended is referred to herein as the “Original Schedule 13D”) by Chain of Lakes Investment Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (“COLIF”) and Christopher B. Woodruff (each a “Reporting Person”), with respect to shares of
common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of PCTEL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original
Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original
Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source
and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
All of the
shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates were purchased on behalf of the Reporting Persons using the investment capital
of the Reporting Persons. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,681,946 shares of Common Stock acquired was approximately $6,992,712.17
(including brokerage commissions and transaction costs).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is amended to add the following:
The long-tenured Board members of the Issuer have been ineffective
at creating shareholder value. For background, the following is a list of all current Board members of the Issuer and the recently retired
Board member, along with the time periods each has served on the Board:
M. Jay Sinder (2014-Present)
Steven Levy (2006-Present)
Cindy Andreotti (2013-Present)
Gina Haspilaire (2015-Present)
Cynthia Keith (2018-Present)
David Neumann (2017-Present) *Appointed CEO of Issuer in 2017.
Giacomo Marini (1996-2023) *Issuer went public on 10/19/1999 at $17/share
and Mr. Marini was on the Board for its entire public company history until his retirement in June 2023.
Anthony Rossabi (2023-Present) *Elected in 2023 after nomination by
the then current Board members to replace Mr. Marini.
REMARKABLY, DESPITE THIS LENGTHY AVERAGE TIME SERVED ON THE BOARD,
THE CLOSING STOCK PRICE OF THE ISSUER ON 8/25/2023 OF $4.05 IS LOWER, SIGNIFICANTLY SO IN MOST CASES, THAN WHEN EVERY SINGLE BOARD MEMBER
LISTED ABOVE JOINED THE BOARD.
Despite the Board’s failure at creating shareholder value, the
Board rejected both of the Reporting Persons’ recommendations for Board seats since Reporting Persons’ original Schedule 13D
filing. The two rejected candidates are far more accomplished Board candidates for a company in the wireless telecom and/or antenna markets
than all the other current Board members in Reporting Persons’ view.
Further, the ongoing lack of scale in both the Antenna/IoT and the
Test and Measurement businesses of the Issuer, combined with its highly inefficient public-company structure, leaves shareholders at serious
risk of further value degradation.
The Issuer had approximately $33.6 million in cash as reported on its
quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the period ending 6/30/2023 and approximately $6-7 million in real estate owned estimated
by the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons estimate the value of the Antenna/IoT business at approximately $100 million to a strategic
acquirer based on recent comparable transactions. The Reporting Persons estimate the value of the Test and Measurement business at approximately
$65 million to either a financial or strategic acquirer based on the EBITDA of that business. For these reasons the Reporting Persons
estimate that the Issuer’s shareholders could receive approximately $10 per share in a complete sale of the company.
Thus, the Reporting Persons requests that the Issuer’s Board
immediately conduct an expedited formal review of strategic alternatives with respect to the Issuer and provide the shareholders with
an update regarding the results of such review. While the Reporting Persons believes shareholders might receive slightly greater value
in selling each of the Issuer’s businesses separately, Reporting Persons asks the Issuer to sell the entire company in one transaction
to expedite the return of shareholders’ capital.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
|
|
(a) - (b) |
As of the date hereof, COLIF beneficially owns the Common Shares noted on COLIF’s cover page hereto. Mr. Woodruff disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares owned by COLIF. |
|
|
(c) |
During the past sixty (60) days, the Reporting Persons have not entered into any transactions in the Common Stock. |
|
|
(d) |
No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, shares beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons. |
|
|
(e) |
Not applicable. |
Signature
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its knowledge and belief,
