The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 2”). This Amendment No. 2 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 securities of the Issuer held in the Separately Managed Accounts and purchased by each of RBI PII, RBI PIII and the RBI Plan were purchased with working capital (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 4,009,837 Shares (together with the warrants referenced in the first sentence of the following paragraph) held by the Separately Managed Accounts is approximately $5,712,426, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 15,333 Shares owned directly by RBI PII is approximately $22,766, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 800,000 Shares (together with the warrants referenced in the third sentence of the following paragraph) owned directly by RBI PIII is $1,000,000, excluding brokerage commissions. The aggregate purchase price of the 83,235 Shares owned directly by the RBI Plan is approximately $121,393, excluding brokerage commissions.

On December 5, 2017, the Separately Managed Accounts received warrants exercisable into 312,000 Shares from the Issuer in connection with a private placement offering to accredited investors. Such warrants have an exercise price of $1.50 per Share and will expire on November 30, 2022. On October 1, 2018, RBI PIII received warrants exercisable into 280,000 Shares from the Issuer in connection with a private placement offering to accredited investors. Such warrants have an exercise price of $1.40 per Share and will expire on September 30, 2023.

The Shares purchased by Mr. Curfman were purchased with personal funds (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 9,155 Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Curfman is approximately $6,883, excluding brokerage commissions.
