The following constitutes Amendment No. 14 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 14”). This Amendment No. 14 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

 

(a)     The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 4,460,120 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of August 9, 2013 as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2013.

 

As of the close of business on the date hereof, SPHG Holdings owned directly 445,456 Shares, constituting approximately 10.0% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of their relationships with SPHG Holdings, each of Steel Holdings, SPHG and Steel Holdings GP may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by SPHG Holdings.

 

Set forth on Schedule B annexed to Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 13D (“Schedule B”) is the aggregate number and percentage of Shares beneficially owned, if any, by each of the persons listed on Schedule A annexed to Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated thereon, each of the persons listed on Schedule B has (i) the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares they beneficially own, if any, and (ii) the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares that they beneficially own, if any.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On October 23, 2013, Steel Holdings and SPHG Holdings entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as administrative agent for the lenders thereunder. The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit facility with borrowing availability of up to a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to $50 million. Obligations under the Credit Facility are collateralized by first priority security interests in certain assets, including publicly traded equity and debt instruments of Steel Holdings and SPHG Holdings, including the Shares of the Issuer owned directly by SPHG Holdings, pursuant to that certain Pledge Agreement dated as of October 23, 2013 by and among Steel Holdings, SPHG Holdings and PNC, as agent for the benefit of the lenders (the “Pledge Agreement”). Prior to the occurrence of PNC’s commencement of enforcement rights and remedies upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), SPHG Holdings will have the right to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Shares and will have the right to receive all cash dividends, interest and premiums declared and paid on the Shares. In addition, SPHG Holdings retains the power to dispose the Shares so long as no Potential Default (as defined in the Credit Facility) or Event of Default exists or would occur as a result of a disposition of any of the Shares.
