Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following:

 

“As previously reported by HRG in its public filing, on November 17, 2016, HRG announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to explore the strategic alternatives available to HRG with a view to maximizing shareholder value. As part of this process, HRG expects to discuss and may make proposals to one or more of the Issuer, its management, its board of directors, its stockholders and other persons, including discussions and proposals regarding a merger or a sale and/or a business combination of HRG and the Issuer. HRG has not set a definitive schedule to complete its review of strategic alternatives and does not intend to provide any further updates until such time as it determines in its sole discretion, as required by law and/or it has entered into definitive documentation with respect to any strategic transaction. There can be no assurance that this process will result in a transaction, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing. Without limiting the foregoing, depending upon a variety of factors, the Reporting Person may from time to time and at any time, in its sole discretion, consider, formulate and implement various plans or proposals intended to enhance the value of its Shares, including, among other things, proposing or effecting any matter that would constitute or result in any of the matters or effects enumerated in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. Also, see disclosure under Item 6 hereof, which is incorporated in this Item 4 by reference.”

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

Each such person (including the Reporting Person and Mr. Asali) specifically disclaims beneficial ownership in the Shares reported herein or otherwise owned except to the extent it or he actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such Shares.”
