CUSIP No. 413160102

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment No. 6”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Scopia Capital Management LP (“Scopia Capital”), Scopia Management, Inc. (“Scopia Management”), Matthew Sirovich and Jeremy Mindich (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on March 8, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 12, 2021, Amendment No. 2 filed on August 5, 2021, Amendment No. 3 filed on March 29, 2022, Amendment No. 4 filed on August 2, 2022 and Amendment No. 5 filed on September 2, 2022. This Amendment No. 6 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Issuer (the “Shares”) reported herein were purchased with the working capital of the Investment Vehicles (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 5,975,978 Shares held in the aggregate by the Investment Vehicles is approximately $41,426,825, including brokerage commissions.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)       The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 105,059,780 Shares outstanding as of August 1, 2022, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 5, 2022.

As of the date hereof, each of Scopia Capital, Scopia Management and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich may be deemed to beneficially own the 5,975,978 Shares, constituting approximately 5.7% of the Shares outstanding, held in the aggregate by the Investment Vehicles.

The Investment Vehicles have delegated to Scopia Capital sole voting and investment power over the securities held by the Investment Vehicles pursuant to their respective Investment Management Agreements with Scopia Capital. As a result, each of Scopia Capital, Scopia Management, as the general partner of Scopia Capital, and Messrs. Sirovich and Mindich, as Managing Directors of Scopia Management, may be deemed to exercise voting and investment power over the Shares directly held by the Investment Vehicles. The Investment Vehicles specifically disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer directly held by them by virtue of their inability to vote or dispose of such securities as a result of their respective Investment Management Agreements with Scopia Capital.

(c)       Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in securities of the Issuer by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of the Investment Vehicles) since the filing of Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D. All of such transactions were effected in the open market unless otherwise noted therein.
