The following constitutes Amendment No. 31 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 31”).  This Amendment No. 31 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate purchase price of the 41,031,674 Shares owned directly by SPHG Holdings is approximately $129,036,060, including brokerage commissions.  The Shares owned directly by SPHG Holdings were acquired with funds of SPHG Holdings and an affiliated entity that initially purchased a portion of the Shares prior to being contributed to SPHG Holdings.
 
Mr. Lichtenstein beneficially owns 5,416 Shares underlying Restricted Stock Awards and 52,499 Shares underlying Non-Qualified Stock Options that are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof awarded to him in his capacity as President of a subsidiary of the Issuer and a director of the Issuer.
 
The Shares beneficially owned by Messrs. Howard and Quicke represent Shares underlying Restricted Stock Awards and Non-Qualified Stock Options awarded to them in their capacities as directors of the Issuer.
 
Set forth on Schedule B annexed to Amendment No. 29 to the Schedule 13D (“Schedule B”) is the aggregate purchase price of the Shares beneficially owned, if any, by each of the executive officers and directors, who are not Reporting Persons, of the entities listed on Schedule A.
 
SPHG Holdings effects purchases of securities primarily through margin accounts maintained for it with prime brokers, which may extend margin credit to it as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the prime brokers’ credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 108,832,141 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of August 9, 2011 as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2011.
 
As of the close of business on September 28, 2011, SPHG Holdings owned directly 41,031,674 Shares, constituting approximately 37.7% of the Shares outstanding.  By virtue of their relationships with SPHG Holdings, each of Steel Holdings, SPHG, Partners LLC and Warren G. Lichtenstein may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned by SPHG Holdings.
 
As of the close of business on September 28, 2011, Warren G. Lichtenstein beneficially owned an additional 5,416 Shares underlying Restricted Stock Awards and 52,499 Shares underlying Non-Qualified Stock Options that are exercisable within 60 days of the date hereof which, together with the 41,031,674 Shares owned by SPHG Holdings that Mr. Lichtenstein may also be deemed to beneficially own, constitutes approximately 37.7% of the Shares outstanding.
