Item 1 Comment:
The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6") to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by Prescott Group Capital Management, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company ("Prescott Capital"), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership ("Prescott Small Cap"), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap II, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership ("Prescott Small Cap II", and, together with Prescott Small Cap, the "Small Cap Funds"), Prescott Group Aggressive Small Cap Master Fund, G.P., an Oklahoma general partnership ("Master Fund") and Phil Frohlich, the principal of Prescott Capital, relating to Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Performant Healthcare, Inc. (f/k/a Performant Financial Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") on March 26, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on October 26, 2020, Amendment No. 2 filed on June 4, 2021, Amendment No. 3 filed on October 7, 2021, Amendment No. 4 filed on January 25, 2022, and Amendment No. 5 filed on March 20, 2023.
This Amendment No. 6 relates to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held in the account of the Master Fund, of which the Small Cap Funds are general partners. Prescott Capital serves as the general partner and investment manager of the Small Cap Funds and may direct the Small Cap Funds, the general partners of the Master Fund, to direct the vote and disposition of the 15,793,291 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund. As the principal of Prescott Capital, Mr. Frohlich may direct the vote and disposition of the 15,793,291 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. | ||
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration | |
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows:
As of June 9, 2025, the Master Fund had invested $25,494,418.84 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Master Fund (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). | ||
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and superseded, as the case may be, as follows:
On June 5, 2025, Prescott Capital entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer (the "Confidentiality Agreement"), dated as of June 4, 2025, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to provide certain information in connection with Prescott Capital's evaluation of the Issuer's current and proposed business operations. In addition, the Confidentiality Agreement places certain "standstill" obligations (the "Standstill") on Prescott Capital and its affiliates for a period of 12 months from the date of the Confidentiality Agreement. Pursuant to the Standstill, unless specifically invited in writing by the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board"), Prescott Capital, for itself and its affiliates agreed not to: (i) acquire, offer or propose to acquire, solicit an offer to sell or agree to acquire, alone or in concert with others, any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any voting securities of the Issuer or any rights, warrants or options to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for voting securities of the Issuer; (ii) make, or in any way participate in, any solicitation of proxies of the Issuer or seek to influence the vote of any Issuer securities; (iii) form, join or participate in a "group" with respect to voting securities of the Issuer; (iv) acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire, alone or in concert with others, any assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or rights, warrants or options to acquire assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries except in the ordinary course of business; (v) arrange, or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any financing for the purchase of any voting securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any voting securities of the Issuer or assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (vi) propose, either alone or in concert with others, to the Issuer or any of its affiliates or any of their respective shareholders or unitholders any merger, business combination, consolidation, sale, restructuring, reorganization, recapitalization or other transaction involving the Issuer or otherwise seek, alone or in concert with others, to control, change or influence the management of the Board or nominate any person as a director who is not nominated by the then incumbent directors, or propose any matter to be voted upon by the shareholders of the Issuer or any of its affiliates; (vii) make any request or proposal to amend, waive or terminate any provisions of the Standstill; or (viii) announce an intention to do, or enter into any arrangement or understanding with others to do, any of the actions restricted or prohibited by the Standstill. The Standstill would also terminate if the Issuer enters into a definitive agreement pursuant to which any person or group would acquire beneficial ownership of a majority of the Issuer's outstanding voting securities or all or a majority of the Issuer's assets or the Issuer announces its intention to enter into such a definitive agreement with any person or group.
The Confidentiality Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party by written notice to the other party. Upon any such termination, all rights, restrictions and obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in force and effect for a period of six months following the date upon which notice of termination is delivered.
The foregoing description of the Confidentiality Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Confidentiality Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer's Board, price levels of the Issuer's securities, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to the investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. Subject to the limitations of the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, these actions may include: (i) acquiring additional shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer (collectively, "Securities") in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. | ||
