CUSIP No. 294100102

  

The following constitutes the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Schedule 13D”).

 

Item 1.Security and Issuer.

(ii)Bradley L. Radoff, with respect to the Shares directly and beneficially owned by him and as a director of the Radoff Foundation; and

 

(iii)Lorrie A. Carr.

 

Each of the foregoing is referred to as a “Reporting Person” and collectively as the “Reporting Persons.” Each of the Reporting Persons is party to that certain Group Agreement, as further described in Item 6. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.

 

(b) The principal business address of each of the Radoff Foundation and Mr. Radoff is 2727 Kirby Drive, Unit 29L, Houston, Texas 77098. The principal business address of Ms. Carr is 3009 Damsel Sauvage Lane, Lewisville, Texas 75056. Set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto (“Schedule A”) is the name and present principal occupation or employment, principal business address and citizenship of the executive officers and directors of the Radoff Foundation. To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, except as otherwise set forth herein, none of the persons listed on Schedule A beneficially owns any securities of the Issuer or is a party to any contract, agreement or understanding required to be disclosed herein.

 

(c) The principal business of the Radoff Foundation is serving charitable purposes. The principal occupation of Mr. Radoff is serving as a private investor and principal of Fondren Management LP, a private investment management company.

CUSIP No. 294100102

 

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The Shares purchased by the Radoff Foundation were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 309,401 Shares directly owned by the Radoff Foundation is approximately $1,037,248, including brokerage commissions.

 

The Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 2,800,599 Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff is approximately $8,659,967, including brokerage commissions.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

On September 3, 2021, Mr. Radoff delivered a letter to the Issuer nominating himself for election to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) at the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). Due to the unusual nature of the Issuer’s advance notice provisions for director nominations, on September 7, 2021 Mr. Radoff delivered an additional letter to the Issuer nominating himself for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. On September 29, 2021, Mr. Radoff delivered a supplement to his nomination notice notifying the Issuer of his additional nomination of Lorrie A. Carr for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, and has therefore nominated two candidates, Lorrie A. Carr and Bradley L. Radoff (the “Nominees”), for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.

 

Mr. Radoff nominated the Nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting because he believes that the Issuer desperately needs to improve its corporate governance practices and refresh the Board in order to generate shareholder value. Not only has the incumbent Board overseen drastic Share price underperformance, it has routinely disregarded the will of shareholders, including by failing to accept the resignation of Dr. Elazar Rabbani following his failure to receive a majority of the votes cast at the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders despite the Issuer’s majority voting standard in uncontested elections.

 

Mr. Radoff is particularly concerned that the newest Board members, Dr. Mary Tagliaferri and Dr. Ian Walters, both have public company experience; yet, have allowed the Issuer to continue to act with blatant disregard for its shareholders, the true owners of the business. Not only did the Board fail to accept Dr. Rabbani’s resignation, it has not provided any updates with respect to its March 2021 announcements regarding Dr. Rabbani stepping down as CEO or retaining Cain Brothers to help identify, evaluate, and execute strategic initiatives. It is clear that drastic change is required.

 

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

 

The Reporting Persons have engaged, and intend to continue to engage, in communications with the Board and management team regarding means to create shareholder value.

   

6 

CUSIP No. 294100102

 

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, engaging in additional communications with management and the Board of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with shareholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and the Reporting Persons’ investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capital allocation strategy, capitalization, ownership structure, Board structure (including Board composition) or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 48,471,771 Shares outstanding as of June 7, 2021, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2021.

A copy of the Group Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

GROUP AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS, certain of the undersigned are shareholders, direct or beneficial, of Enzo Biochem, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”); and

 

WHEREAS, The Radoff Family Foundation and Bradley L. Radoff (together, “Radoff”) and Lorrie A. Carr wish to form a group for the purpose of seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) at the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (including any other meeting of shareholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof, the “Annual Meeting”) and for the purpose of taking all other action necessary to achieve the foregoing.

 

NOW, IT IS AGREED, this 29th day of September 2021 by the parties hereto:

 

1.       In accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), each of the undersigned (collectively, the “Group”) agrees to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Company to the extent required by applicable law. Each member of the Group shall be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of its own disclosure therein, and is not responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information concerning the other members, unless such member knows or has reason to know that such information is inaccurate.

 

2.       So long as this agreement is in effect, each of the undersigned shall provide written notice to Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP (“Olshan”), such notice to be given no later than four (4) hours after each such transaction, of (i) any of their purchases or sales of securities of the Company or (ii) any securities of the Company over which they acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership; provided, however, that each party agrees not to purchase or sell securities of the Company or otherwise increase or decrease its economic exposure to or beneficial ownership over the securities of the Company if it reasonably believes that, as a result of such action, the Group or any member thereof would be likely to be required to make any regulatory filing (including, but not limited to, a Schedule 13D amendment, Form 3 or Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)) without using its reasonable efforts to give the other members of the Group at least twelve (12) hours prior written notice; provided, further, that no party shall, without the prior consent of Radoff, buy, or increase any beneficial ownership over, any securities of the Company if, as a result of such action, the Group would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the Company's common stock. For purposes of this agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning of such term set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

3.       Each of the undersigned agrees to form the Group for the purpose of (i) soliciting proxies for the election of the persons nominated by Radoff to the Board at the Annual Meeting, (ii) taking such other actions as the parties deem advisable and (iii) taking all other action necessary or advisable to achieve the foregoing.

 

4.       Radoff shall have the right to pre-approve all expenses incurred in connection with the Group’s activities and agrees to pay directly all such pre-approved expenses.

 

5.       Each of the undersigned agrees that any filing with the SEC, press release or shareholder communication proposed to be made or issued by the Group or any member of the Group in connection with the Group’s activities set forth in Section 3 shall be as directed by Radoff.

 

 

6.       The relationship of the parties hereto shall be limited to carrying on the business of the Group in accordance with the terms of this agreement. Such relationship shall be construed and deemed to be for the sole and limited purpose of carrying on such business as described herein. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize any party to act as an agent for any other party, or to create a joint venture or partnership, or to constitute an indemnification. Nothing herein shall restrict any party’s right to purchase or sell securities of the Company, as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, provided that all such purchases and sales are made in compliance with all applicable securities laws and the provisions of this agreement.

 

7.       This agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart.

 

8.       This agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. In the event of any dispute arising out of the provisions of this agreement or their investment in the Company, the parties hereto consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan or the courts of the State of New York located in the County of New York.

 

9.       The parties’ rights and obligations under this agreement (other than the rights and obligations set forth in Section 4 and Section 8, which shall survive any termination of this agreement) shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the conclusion of the Annual Meeting or (ii) the written agreement of the parties.

 

10.       Each party acknowledges that Olshan shall act as counsel for both the Group and Radoff relating to their investment in the Company.

 

11.       Each of the undersigned hereby agrees that this agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to any Schedule 13D required to be filed under applicable law pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Exchange Act.
