CUSIP No. 774678403

 

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 purchased by Mr. Radoff were purchased with personal funds (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 570,000 Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff is approximately $4,273,677, including brokerage commissions.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

The Reporting Person is encouraged by the Issuer’s Board refreshment and the quality and diversity of the four new directors, Gabriel Arreaga, Elisabeth B. Charles, Mark Riegel and Sandra Elizabeth Taylor (the “New Directors”). However, the Reporting Person strongly believes, and has communicated to the Board on multiple occasions, that one of the New Directors should be selected as the Chairperson of the newly refreshed Board, and that Jeffrey Geygan is conflicted and unqualified to serve as Chairman. The Reporting Person intends to continue to advocate for a new Chairperson and for a successful search for a new highly-qualified Chief Executive Officer to replace Bryan Merryman. The Reporting Person intends to take any necessary action he deems advisable if the new Board fails to act in the best interests of stockholders and make progress executing on the Issuer’s strategic transformation.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by Mr. Radoff is based upon 6,127,581 Shares outstanding as of October 10, 2021, 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 October 15, 2021.

 

Mr. Radoff

 

(a)As of the close of business on December 1, 2021, Mr. Radoff directly beneficially owned 570,000 Shares.

 

Percentage: Approximately 9.3%

 

(b)1. Sole power to vote or direct vote: 570,000
2. Shared power to vote or direct vote: 0
3. Sole power to dispose or direct the disposition: 570,000
4. Shared power to dispose or direct the disposition: 0

 

(c)The transactions in the Shares by Mr. Radoff since the filing of the Schedule 13D are set forth on Schedule A and are incorporated herein by reference.
