Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

This filing is being made to (1) update Mr. Schnatter’s holdings and percentages previously disclosed, (2) supplement the prior filings made by him on Schedule 13D as it relates to his status and relationship with the Issuer, and (3) supplement Mr. Schnatter’s prior statements with regard to his plans and proposals.

 

On the date hereof, Mr. Schnatter directly or indirectly owns or has voting power with respect to a total of 9,965,732 shares of Common Stock, as follows: 9,353,568 shares owned directly; 31,391 shares owned by M. Annette Schnatter, Mr. Schnatter’s spouse; 516,273 shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable by Mr. Schnatter within 60 days of this filing; and 64,500 shares owned by the John H. Schnatter Family Foundation, in which Mr. Schnatter holds voting power, but no pecuniary interest.

 

As previously disclosed, in accordance with the terms of the agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into on March 4, 2019 by the Issuer and Mr. Schnatter, Mr. Schnatter’s term as a director expired at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer that was held on April 30, 2019. Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Schnatter and the Issuer may collaborate on the appointment of a new independent member of the board of directors. Mr. Schnatter and the Issuer have engaged in discussions regarding candidates for such role, but no decision has been made to appoint any such candidate to the board of directors.

 

As a result of Mr. Schnatter leaving the board of directors, officially stepping down as chief executive officer on January 1, 2018, and the termination of his contractual rights as founder under the founder agreement with the Issuer, Mr. Schnatter no longer has any direct control over the Issuer or any involvement in the management or operations of the Issuer.

 

Notwithstanding any statements by Mr. Schnatter in prior Schedule 13D filings regarding his plans or proposals with respect to the Issuer, Mr. Schnatter presently has no plans or proposals of the type required to be disclosed in this Item 4 other than as described in the following three sentences.  Mr. Schnatter presently intends to sell shares of his Common Stock in an amount not to exceed the volume restrictions set forth in Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”), in the public markets in compliance with Rule 144.  Based on his analysis of, among other things, investment considerations (including the trading price of the Issuer’s Common Stock), economic conditions and public disclosures made by the Issuer, Mr. Schnatter may (i) sell, trade or otherwise dispose of more or less of his Common Stock in the Issuer in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions, in registered offerings or otherwise, (ii) consider and/or implement various alternatives to maximize the value of his investment in the Issuer, or (iii) take any other lawful action he deems to be in his best interest (including actions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D). Mr. Schnatter has solicited the advice of financial advisors regarding a possible disposition of all or some of his Common Stock in the Issuer.
