CUSIP No.   68232V306

13D

 

 

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) is being filed by Michael B. Hoffman and The Michael and Jane Hoffman 2018 Descendants Trust (each a “Reporting Person,” and together, the “Reporting Persons”).  Unless set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial filing on Schedule 13D, previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2013 (the “Original 13D”).

 

Item 3.                                                         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

On April 11, 2018, the trustees of the 2013 Trust instructed Mr. Hoffman, as general agent, to transfer all of the Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the 2013 Trust to the 2018 Trust pursuant to the Instrument of Payover.

 

On May 1, 2018, a total of approximately $940,000.13 was paid to acquire 2,211,765 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase up to 55,294.125 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).  The 2013 Trust obtained the funds necessary to purchase the securities from its existing capital.  All of these shares of Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock were transferred to the 2018 Trust in accordance with the Instrument of Payover.

 

Item 4.                                                         Purpose of the Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer reported herein based on their belief that such securities represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Neither Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal that would relate or result in any matters set forth in paragraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.                                                         Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)           See Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D that relate to the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b)           See Items 7 through 10 on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D that relate to the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each of the Reporting Persons referenced in Item 2 of the Original 13D has sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Mr. Hoffman is the direct beneficial owner of (i) 1,876 shares of Common Stock and (ii) of stock options to purchase 19,951 shares of Common Stock that are immediately exercisable or will be exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof.  Mr. Hoffman has no voting or dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the 2013 Non-GST Exempt Trust and the 2018 Trust and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership over the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the 2013 Non-GST Exempt Trust and the 2018 Trust and this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that he is the beneficial owner of such securities for the purposes of Section 13 of the Act or for any other purpose.

 

The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by each Reporting Person was calculated based on 79,107,812 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 25, 2018.

 

(c)           During the past 60 days, the Reporting Persons have entered into the following transaction with regard to the Common Stock of the Issuer:

 

On April 11, 2018, the trustees of the 2013 Trust instructed Mr. Hoffman, as general agent, to transfer all of the Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the 2013 Trust to the 2018 Trust pursuant to the Instrument of Payover.

 

The Issuer closed an offering of securities on May 1, 2018, and the 2013 Trust purchased 2,211,765 units, consisting of 2,211,765 shares of Common Stock and a warrant to purchase 55,294.125 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 2,211,765 shares of Common Stock.  The 2013 Trust obtained the funds necessary to

purchase the securities from its existing capital.  All of these shares of Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock were transferred to the 2018 Trust in accordance with the Instrument of Payover.

 

(d)           A.J. Agarwal and Jane Hoffman, Mr. Hoffman’s spouse, are trustees of the the 2013 Non-GST Exempt Trust and the 2018 Trust and have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by the 2013 Non-GST Exempt Trust and the 2018 Trust.  As trustees, both Mr. Agarwal and Mrs. Hoffman have the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock held by the 2013 Non-GST Exempt Trust and the 2018 Trust.

 

(e)           Not applicable.
