Item 3 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

In connection with estate planning transactions, Sunil Wadhwani sold 991,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) to the Trust on December 16, 2022, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated December 16, 2022 (the “Stock Sale”).

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Sunil Wadhwani sold the Shares to the Trust for estate planning purposes. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Irrevocable Trust Agreement creating the Sunil Wadhwani 2020 Exempt Family Trust, dated as of March 19, 2020 (the “Trust Agreement”), the Northern Delaware Trust Company of Delaware (the “Trustee”) (or its successors, or, if more than one trustee is appointed pursuant to the Trust Agreement, then such trustees) has certain powers with respect to the administration of the Trust Estate (as defined in the Trust Agreement), which includes the Shares, including, without limitation, the power to sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares, to exercise voting rights with respect to the Shares, to exchange the Shares for other securities issued in connection with any reorganization, recapitalization, merger, liquidation or sale of the Issuer or its assets, and to exercise other rights with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Trust Agreement, so long as there is a Trust Protection Committee (the “Committee”), the power, discretion and authority granted to the Trustee (or its successors, or, if more than one trustee is appointed pursuant to the Trust Agreement, then such trustees) with respect to certain actions, including actions with respect to the Shares, as described in the foregoing sentence, shall be exercised at the direction of the Committee. As of the date of the Trust Agreement, the Reporting Person is the sole member of the Committee.

The Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Initial Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) According to the Company’s Quarterly Report on form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022, as of October 31, 2022, there were 11,617,709 shares of Common Stock outstanding. As a result, the Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of 1,850,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which comprises 16% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Nonetheless, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of its rights under the Trust Agreement are deemed to constitute beneficial ownership.

(b) By virtue of being the sole member of the Committee, the Reporting Person has sole power to direct the vote of all the Shares and to direct the disposition of the Shares.

(c) On December 16, 2022, Sunil Wadhwani sold the Shares to effect the Stock Sale. The purchase price for the Shares is equal to their fair market value, which will be determined pursuant to an appraisal. Upon receipt, such appraisal will be reviewed and confirmed by Sunil Wadhwani and the Trust pursuant to that certain Confirmation Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2022, a form of which is attached hereto. The purchase price will be paid by the Trust pursuant to a Promissory Note made in favor of the Sunil Wadhwani Trust, a form of which is attached hereto.

(d) The Reporting Person affirms that, other than the Reporting Person, no other person has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.
