The following constitutes Amendment No. 9 ("Amendment No. 9") to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on September 9, 2022 (as previously amended, the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 9 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

The Shares purchased by Star Equity Fund were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted, as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated by reference herein. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,040,985 Shares beneficially owned by Star Equity Fund is approximately $918,433, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,983,027 Shares directly owned by Mr. Eberwein is approximately $1,657,002, excluding brokerage commissions.

In connection with the Issuer's announcement of its sale to Drilling Tools International (NASDAQ: DTI) (“DTI”) on March 7, 2024 and subsequent filing on July 2, 2024 of its Form 14A Definitive Proxy Statement Relating to Merger or Acquisition, Star Equity Fund issued a press release, on July 8, 2024, expressing its belief that the Issuer's Board made the right decision in selling SDPI to DTI, a larger public company, and in support of the transaction will be voting for the sale.

Star Equity Fund also stated its belief that its persistence in its recommendations led to hiring a financial advisor and ultimately led to the proposed sale of the Issuer to DTI. Star Equity Fund also believes in the corporate governance and shareholder orientation of DTI post-transaction, and the hope that it will leave the Issuer shareholders in better hands.

The foregoing description of the press release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.9 and is incorporated herein by reference.
