The following constitutes
Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 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 to read as follows:
The Shares reported herein
were purchased with the working capital of the Investment Vehicles (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 8,295,314 Shares held in the aggregate by the Investment
Vehicles is approximately $98,455,297, including brokerage commissions.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended
to add the following:
On July 14, 2022, the Reporting
Persons sent a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In the letter, the Reporting Persons expressed
admiration for the strength and market positioning of the Issuer’s businesses and support for its strategic growth objectives; however,
the Reporting Persons conveyed their increasing frustration with the Issuer’s stock price performance and valuation, which they
do not believe accurately reflect the Issuer’s intrinsic value. The Reporting Persons emphasized their desire to work together with
the Board in a constructive manner to drive value for all shareholders, and indicated that it may be necessary for the Board to commence
a strategic review process. The full text of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5(a) and (c) are hereby
amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) The
aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 156,225,265 Shares outstanding as of May 5, 2022,
which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2022.
As of the date hereof, each
of Scopia Capital, Scopia Management and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich may be deemed to beneficially own the 8,295,314 Shares, constituting
approximately 5.3% of the Shares outstanding, held in the aggregate by the Investment Vehicles.
The Investment Vehicles have
delegated to Scopia Capital sole voting and investment power over the securities held by the Investment Vehicles pursuant to their respective
Investment Management Agreements with Scopia Capital. As a result, each of Scopia Capital, Scopia Management, as the general partner of
Scopia Capital, and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich, as Managing Directors of Scopia Management, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment
power over the Shares directly held by the Investment Vehicles. The Investment Vehicles specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of
the securities of the Issuer directly held by them by virtue of their inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of their
respective Investment Management Agreements with Scopia Capital.
(c) Schedule
A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of the Investment Vehicles) during
the past 60 days. All of such transactions were effected in the open market unless otherwise noted therein.
| Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 is hereby amended
to add the following exhibit:
| 99.1 | Letter to Board, dated July 14, 2022. |
SIGNATURES
After reasonable inquiry
and to the best of his knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true,
complete and correct.
