Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Fund II acquired direct beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 916,690 shares of Common Stock for $9,851,666.25 using working capital from Fund II.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity, and such purchases have been made in the Reporting Persons’ ordinary course of business.

The Reporting Persons intend to review continuously their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time propose a corporate transaction to the Issuer, purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Persons, or cease buying or selling such securities; any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. In addition, the Reporting Persons may from time to time enter into and dispose of covered call options or other similar derivative transactions that are based upon the value of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, which transactions may be significant in amount. The profit, loss and return on such transactions may be dependent, in whole or in part, on the market value of the Common Stock or the value of the Common Stock in comparison to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or securities, or a combination of any of the foregoing.

The Reporting Persons may wish to engage in a constructive dialogue with officers, directors and other representatives of the Issuer, as well as the Issuer’s shareholders; topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, the Issuer’s markets, operations, competitors, prospects, strategy, personnel, directors, ownership and capitalization. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer.

The factors that the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuer’s business include the following: (i) the Issuer’s business and prospects; (ii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iii) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interests; (iv) general economic conditions; (v) stock market conditions; (vi) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (vii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.


CUSIP No. 028740108    Page 8 of 10 Pages

 

Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4.

Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their options but do not have at this time any specific plans that would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or Board of Directors of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Issuer’s Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Common Stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a, b) The percentages of beneficial ownership reported for the Reporting Persons in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 7,866,573 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of April 30, 2013, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013. All of the share numbers reported below, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are as of July 19, 2013, and each of these cover pages is incorporated by reference in its entirety into these paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Item 5.

Fund II directly holds, and thus has sole voting and dispositive power over, 916,690 shares of Common Stock. The Fund II GP, as sole general partner of Fund II, also has sole authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, these shares of Common Stock on behalf of Fund II, and each of Messrs. Lynch and Scharfman has shared authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, the shares of Common Stock on behalf of Fund II. Messrs. Goldman and Jacobs do not have beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock.

Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns an aggregate of 916,690 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 11.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 916,690 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 11.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.


CUSIP No. 028740108    Page 9 of 10 Pages

 

(c) No Reporting Person effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock from May 20, 2013 (the date 60 days prior to the filing of this Amendment No. 4 to this Schedule 13D) until July 19, 2013.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of shares of the Common Stock.

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, including the Exhibits attached hereto, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons, or between any Reporting Person(s) and any third party, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, those involving the transfer or voting any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
