The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 2”). This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. This Amendment No. 2 was triggered solely due to a change in the number of outstanding Shares of the Issuer.
| 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 79,957,649 Shares outstanding as of May 28, 2022 as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2022.
As of the date hereof, RC Ventures directly beneficially owned 9,450,100 Shares, including 1,670,100 Shares underlying certain call options, constituting approximately 11.8% of the Shares outstanding. Mr. Cohen, as the Manager of RC Ventures, may be deemed to beneficially own the 9,450,100 Shares directly beneficially owned by RC Ventures, constituting approximately 11.8% of the Shares outstanding.
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer that he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein that he or it does not directly own.
(c) There have been no transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons during the past sixty days nor since the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.
