Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person (195,584 shares, or approximately 3.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock^[1]) were acquired over a period of approximately three years through a series of open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions using its working capital. It is anticipated that any additional shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the Reporting Person will also be acquired through open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions using its working capital. The Reporting Person’s investment in the Issuer is passive and the Reporting Person has no plans to influence or impede the management, operations, or policies of the Issuer. The Reporting Person has no current plans to seek representation on the Issuer’s board of directors. The Reporting Person has not entered into voting or other agreements with any other party as it relates to the Common Stock, and disclaims the existence of a group.

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (“FCB”), a corporation in which Frank B. Holding, Jr., a shareholder of the Reporting Person (referred to above as the “Shareholder”) serves as a director and officer, and is also a principal shareholder, owns 106,655 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 2.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock^[1]. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by FCB were acquired over a period of approximately six years through a series of open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions using its working capital. The Shareholder disclaims voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by FCB. No other Related Person owns shares of Common Stock.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 3 above is incorporated herein by reference.

This is the Reporting Person’s first amendment to the initial Schedule 13D filing, and reflects an increase in its beneficial ownership due to its acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock, a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and certain individuals who were previously identified as principal shareholders not currently qualifying as such.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)        The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 302,239 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 6.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. See Item 3 above for details of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Related Persons. The Reporting Person disclaims the existence of a group.

(b)       The Cover Page of this Schedule 13D and Items 2 and 3 above are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(c)        During the past 60 days, the Reporting Person has acquired 8,643 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate cost of $170,444.61, or an average cost of $19.72 per share (excluding the cost of commissions and service fees), through a series of open market purchases and privately negotiated transactions using its working capital. None of the Related Persons, including FCB, has acquired shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d)        Not applicable.

(e)        Not applicable.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 3 above is incorporated herein by reference.
