SCHEDULE 13D
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This statement relates to the Companys common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the Common Stock), and the Series A convertible preferred stock (the Preferred Stock), which Preferred Stock is currently convertible into Common Stock (the Preferred Stock, together with the Common Stock, Company Shares), and is being filed pursuant to Rules 13d-1 and 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), to reflect distributions of Common Stock to investors in KPOMF and Knott Partners Offshore (SRI) Fund Limited (the SRI Fund), previously reported on Forms 4 filed on October 3 and 23, 2012. Each of the prior distributtions, as reported, were made without any consideration and as distributions of the securities in the respective accounts in response to requests from the sole limited partner of KPOMF, on October 1, 2012, and the sole shareholder of the SRI Fund, on October 22, 2012.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Item is being amended solely to change the second paragraph as follows:
Dorset also provides investment management services the SRI Fund, a Cayman Islands exempted company.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a)-(b) Mr. Knott, Dorset, Knott Partners, KPOMF and Shoshone: See Rows 7 through 11 and 13 on pages 2-6. Mr. Knott individually has the sole power to vote 3,042,430 shares of Company Shares and dispose of 3,072,200 shares of Company Shares held in the Partnerships and the SRI Funds respective accounts. As President of Dorset, Mr. Knott shares with certain of Dorsets clients the power to vote that portion of 29,770 shares of Company Shares held in their respective accounts.
Knott Partners directly beneficially owns 1,728,625 shares of Company Shares, which represents approximately 9.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(c) No transactions in the class of securities reported on were effected during the past sixty days, except for the following dispositions: Pursuant to a redemption request by the sole shareholder (the Redeeming Shareholder) of the SRI Fund, the SRI Fund made distributions to the Redeeming Shareholder for no consideration on October 22, 2012 (as described in Item 1) and December 6, 2012 of, respectively, 40,600 and 1,700 shares of Common Stock.
(d) The Partnerships, the SRI Fund and the Managed Accounts have the right to receive dividends and proceeds from the sale of the shares of Company Shares that may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by the Reporting Parties. No individual person or entity that is not a Reporting Party has such right with regard to greater than five percent of the Common Stock.
(e) As of October 1, 2012, KPOMF ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock. Solely as a result of a change in outstanding Common Stock of the Company, Shoshone is no longer the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the Companys outstanding Common Stock.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
