In connection with the closing on May 21, 2012 of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting and Placement Agreement, dated May 15, 2012 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Issuer and other parties named therein, relating to a public offering by the Issuer of Common Stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Public Offering”), ACP II purchased an aggregate of 1,197,585 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option) for an aggregate purchase price of $9,602,030. The source of these funds was mainly from the investment capital of CGC, which was provided to ACP II from CGC as a limited partner of ACP II pursuant to a capital call. The remainder of the funds were provided by other limited partners of ACP II pursuant to a capital call.

 

Pursuant to an Exchange and Liquidation Agreement, dated July 31, 2015 (the “Exchange Agreement”,) among ACP, ACP II and ACP II GP, (a) ACP II transferred to ACP all of ACP II’s interest in the assets and liabilities of ACP II, including all of the shares of Common Stock owned by ACP II, in return for a separate class of limited partnership interests in ACP (the “Subject LP Interests”) with respect to which ACP II GP holds the general partner interest (the “Subject GP Interests”); (b) ACP II distributed to each of its limited partners (the “ACP II Limited Partners”) a Subject LP Interest having a value equal to the net asset value of each ACP II Limited Partner’s respective limited partnership interest in ACP II immediately prior to such transaction; and (c) ACP II distributed the Subject GP Interests to ACP II GP.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The shares of Common Stock were acquired and disposed of primarily for investment purposes.  Each of the Reporting Persons intends to monitor its investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and to take such measures at it deems appropriate from time to time in furtherance of such interests.  Each of the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional shares of Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by it, depending on the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors.  Each of the Reporting Persons may also from time to time discuss the Issuer’s business, operations or other affairs with the Issuer’s management, board of directors, shareholders or others, explore an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries, or take such other similar actions as such Reporting Persons may deem appropriate. 

 

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Mr. David Tanner, formerly Executive Vice President of CGC, was appointed to the board of directors of the Issuer on behalf of the Reporting Persons, and that position may have influence over the corporate activity of the Issuer, including activity which may relate to transactions described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. While Mr. Tanner remains a director of the Issuer as of the date of this Schedule 13D, he is no longer an appointee of the Reporting Persons.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any one of more of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.  Each Reporting Person does, however, reserve the right to adopt such plans or proposals subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
