CUSIP No. 858098 10 6

The following constitutes Amendment No. 28 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 28”). This Amendment No. 28 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 2,496,545 Shares owned directly by HNH is approximately $9,109,689, including brokerage commissions. The Shares owned directly by HNH were acquired with the working capital of HNH.

The 5,940,170 Shares owned directly by WHX CS were transferred to WHX CS by its parent HNH.

The aggregate purchase price of the 2,245,990 Shares owned directly by SPHG Holdings is approximately $4,013,692, including brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 35,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Preferred Stock”) owned directly by SPHG Holdings is $35,000,000. The aggregate purchase price of the 2024 Note (as defined in Item 4) owned directly by SPHG Holdings is $14,940,000. The Shares, Preferred Stock and 2024 Note owned directly by SPHG Holdings were acquired with the working capital of SPHG Holdings.

The aggregate purchase price of the 7,500,000 Shares owned directly by Steel Holdings is $30,000,000. Such Shares were acquired with the working capital of Steel Holdings.

The aggregate purchase price of the 60,000 Shares owned directly by SPL is approximately $411,192, including brokerage commissions. The Shares owned directly by SPL were acquired with the working capital of SPL.

Mr. Lichtenstein directly beneficially owns 1,576,917 Shares (including 61,718 unvested restricted Shares) awarded to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

The aggregate purchase price of 10,000 Shares owned directly by Mr. Howard is approximately $68,530, including brokerage commissions. Mr. Howard directly beneficially owns an additional 843,846 Shares (including 61,718 unvested restricted Shares) awarded to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

12

CUSIP No. 858098 10 6

On May 27, 2022, Steel Holdings communicated a further revised expression of interest in a potential combination of Steel Holdings and the Issuer (the “Further Enhanced Proposal”) to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, which altered and increased the consideration proposed in Steel Holdings’ March 24, 2022 proposal (filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 27). Under the Further Enhanced Proposal, the stockholders of the Issuer would receive both (a) cash consideration of $1.35 per share, and (b) a contingent value right (“CVR”), payable only to the non-Steel Holdings stockholders, to receive their pro rata share of proceeds, to the extent such proceeds exceed $80 million, if the Issuer’s ModusLink Global Solutions subsidiary were to be sold during the 2-year period following completion of the proposed combination of Steel Holdings and the Issuer. The $1.35 cash consideration per share represents a premium of approximately 12.5% over the closing price of the Issuer’s common stock on May 31, 2022 and a premium of approximately 92.8% over the closing share price of the Issuer’s common stock on November 18, 2020, in each case even without factoring in any potential value of the proposed CVR.

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 60,457,720 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of March 1, 2022, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on March 17, 2022.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, HNH owned directly 2,496,545 Shares, constituting approximately 4.1% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of their relationship with HNH discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Steel Holdings, SPHG, SPHG Holdings, Steel Holdings GP and Steel Excel may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by HNH.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, WHX CS owned directly 5,940,170 Shares, constituting approximately 9.8% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of their relationship with WHX CS discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of HNH, Steel Holdings, SPHG, SPHG Holdings, Steel Holdings GP and Steel Excel may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by WHX CS.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, SPHG Holdings owned directly 2,245,990 Shares and beneficially owned an additional (i) 17,857,143 Shares underlying the currently convertible Preferred Stock owned directly by SPHG Holdings and (ii) 6,293,707 Shares underlying the currently convertible 2024 Note owned directly by SPHG Holdings, constituting approximately 31.2% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of their relationship with SPHG Holdings discussed in further detail in Item 2, each of Steel Holdings, SPHG and Steel Holdings GP may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares, including the Shares underlying the Preferred Stock and 2024 Note, owned directly by SPHG Holdings.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Steel Holdings owned directly 7,500,000 Shares, constituting approximately 12.4% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of its relationship with Steel Holdings discussed in further detail in Item 2, Steel Holdings GP may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by Steel Holdings.

13

CUSIP No. 858098 10 6

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Warren G. Lichtenstein directly beneficially owned 1,576,917 Shares (including 61,718 unvested restricted Shares), constituting approximately 2.7% of the Shares outstanding.

As of the close of business on the date hereof, Jack L. Howard directly beneficially owned 853,846 Shares (including 61,718 unvested restricted Shares), constituting approximately 1.4% of the Shares outstanding.

Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

Lichtenstein and Howard, in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, 20,152 restricted Shares, which vest on April 1, 2023, provided that he remains a director of the Issuer on such vesting date.
