| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The aggregate purchase price of the 3,773,000 Shares owned directly by Steel Connect Sub is approximately $34,997,416, including brokerage commissions. Such Shares were acquired with Steel Connect Sub's cash on hand. | |
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons' belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the outcome of any discussions referenced herein, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, developing plans and/or making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capital allocation strategy, capitalization, ownership structure (including a sale or other strategic transaction involving the Issuer in which the Reporting Persons may seek to engage, as an acquirer or investor), the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board") structure (including Board composition) or operations of the Issuer, engaging in further communications and negotiations with management and the Board about the foregoing and a broad range of operational and strategic matters, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer or third parties (including potential financing sources) about the foregoing, the Issuer and the Reporting Persons' investment, exchanging information with the Issuer or any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements regarding any of the foregoing, including a potential mutual confidentiality agreement, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4. The Reporting Persons may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such transactions.
Without limiting the foregoing, on March 28, 2025, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Issuer, pursuant to which the parties agreed to certain mutual confidentiality restrictions and the Reporting Persons agreed to certain standstill provisions. In connection with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Reporting Persons and Issuer may share information and have discussions regarding the matters set forth above, including the potential acquisition by the Reporting Persons of certain assets or businesses of the Issuer, and the Reporting Persons may make proposals to the Issuer in connection therewith. | |
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
| (a) | Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:
On March 28, 2025, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons entered into a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Issuer, pursuant to which the parties agreed to certain mutual confidentiality restrictions and the Reporting Persons agreed to certain standstill provisions.
