The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

On April 9, 2018, ESW Capital LLC (“ESW”) entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Issuer that contains customary restrictions with respect to the use and disclosure of the Issuer’s confidential information and customary “standstill” provisions.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s stock in particular, as well as other developments.Each of the Reporting Persons may consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to its investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation: (a) the acquisition or disposition by the Reporting Persons of Shares, including through derivative transactions which may include security-based swaps and short sales; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law or other restrictions, at any time and from time to time, to acquire additional Shares, dispose of some or all of the Shares, in each case in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, and review or reconsider their position, change their purpose, take other actions (including actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in clauses (a) through (j) of the foregoing paragraph of this Item 4) or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no contract, arrangement, relationship or understanding (either oral or written) exists among the Reporting Persons as to the acquisition, disposition, voting or holding of Shares.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a) and (b) As of April 10, 2018, ESW beneficially owned and had sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,204,128 Shares, representing approximately 21.00% of the 5,734,000 Shares outstanding on February 26, 2018 as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, as amended on March 5, 2018.

As of April 10, 2018, Joseph A. Liemandt (“Liemandt”) may be deemed to beneficially own and have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Shares beneficially owned by ESW.

(c) No Reporting Person has effected any transaction in the Shares in the 60 days prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D.

(d) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person had the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

(e) Not applicable.
