The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 300 First Stamford Place 5th Floor Stamford, CT 06902.

The filing of any amendment to this Schedule 13D (including the filing of this Amendment No. 5) shall not be construed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that a material change has occurred in the facts set forth in this Schedule 13D or that such amendment is required under Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

As of January 24, 2017, as reflected in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned that number of Common Shares (the Subject Shares), set forth on the cover pages hereto, which information is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

Item 3.

On January 20, 2017, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 13, 2016 (the Stock Purchase Agreement), by and among the Issuer, EB Holdings and certain other investors named therein, the Issuer delivered to EB Holdings an aggregate of 7,600,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $34,200,000.”
 
Item 5.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows.
 
“(a) and (b)

The information contained on the cover pages and Item 1 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Ownership percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based on a total of (i) the 48,106,827 shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding as of November 30, 2016 by the Issuer in its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 23, 2016; (ii) the 364 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants but excluding (x) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued and distributed by the Issuer in connection with the Restructuring (other than Warrants held by the Reporting Persons), and (y) any shares issued pursuant to a management incentive plan; and (iii) the 22,222,223 shares of Common Stock issued on January 20, 2017 pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
