(1) Consists of 20,000 Shares underlying certain stock options that have vested as of the date hereof.
The following constitutes Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 7”). This Amendment No. 7 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On December 13, 2023, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pathos AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and WK Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, the acquisition of the Issuer by Parent through a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) by Merger Sub for all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, for: (A) $1.16 per share, and (B) one contingent value right (a “CVR”) for potential cash payments of up to approximately $0.17 per share and (ii) following the completion of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to which such Reporting Persons agreed, among other things, to irrevocably tender the Shares and shares of non-voting common stock held by them in the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Support Agreement. The Support Agreement will terminate upon certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement or if the Issuer’s Board of Directors votes to approve a superior proposal.
The foregoing description of the Support Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
On December 13, 2023, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into the Support Agreement, as defined and described in Item 4 above and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
| Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibit:
| 99.1 | Support Agreement, dated December 13, 2023. |
SIGNATURES
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of his or its knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
