Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

  (a)-(c) This Schedule 13D is being filed by WPP Luxembourg Gamma Three S.à r.l. a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Lux Gamma Three”) and WPP plc, a corporation formed under the laws of Jersey. WPP plc indirectly holds 100% of the outstanding stock of Lux Gamma Three through a series of intervening holding companies. Lux Gamma Three and WPP plc are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Reporting Persons” and individually as a “Reporting Person.”

Consistent with such investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with, without limitation, management of the Company, one or more members of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), other shareholders of the Company and other relevant parties, and may make suggestions, concerning the business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, operations, governance, management, prospects, strategy, strategic transactions, financing strategies

and alternatives, and future plans of the Company, and such other matters as the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their investment in the Company, which communications may include proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on an ongoing basis. Depending on various factors (including, without limitation, the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the relevant securities, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions), the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock or other financial instruments of or related to the Company or selling some or all of their beneficial holdings, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the securities of or relating to the Company and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

  (a) As of the date hereof, Lux Gamma Three is deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 3,037,889 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), representing approximately 20.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, based upon 15,204,978 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reflected in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on February 5, 2015 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. WPP plc indirectly owns 100% of Lux Gamma Three and therefore may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Shares. Lux Gamma Three disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares.
