The following constitutes Amendment No. 17 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 17”). This Amendment No. 17 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 295,914 Shares owned directly by COSN is approximately $961,450, including brokerage commissions. The Shares owned directly by COSN were contributed to COSN by SPHG Holdings, an affiliated entity, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (as defined and described in Item 6 of Amendment No. 15).

 

Set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto (“Schedule A”) is the aggregate purchase price of the Shares beneficially owned, if any, by each of the persons listed on Schedule A to Amendment No. 15.

 

Item 5.          Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5(a)-(c) 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 4,496,704 Shares outstanding, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of February 6, 2015, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 6, 2015.

 

As of the close of business on March 18, 2015, COSN owned directly 295,914 Shares, constituting approximately 6.6% of the Shares outstanding. By virtue of their relationships with COSN, each of SPHG Holdings, Steel Holdings, SPHG and Steel Holdings GP may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares owned directly by COSN.

 

Set forth on Schedule A is the aggregate number and percentage of Shares beneficially owned, if any, by each of the persons listed on Schedule A to Amendment No. 15. Unless otherwise indicated thereon, each of the persons listed on Schedule A has (i) the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares they beneficially own, if any, and (ii) the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares that they beneficially own, if any.

 

(b)     Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported in this statement owned directly by COSN.

 

(c)     Schedule B annexed hereto (“Schedule B”) lists all transactions in the Shares of the Issuer during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons. All of such transactions were effected in the open market.
