CUSIP No.: 294100102

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 6”). This Amendment No. 6 amends, supplements and to the extent inconsistent with, supersedes the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 27, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 4, 2020, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on December 7, 2020, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on December 8, 2020, Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on December 14, 2020 and Amendment No. 5 filed with the SEC on December 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).  

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:

 

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On December 19, 2020, McDermott Will & Emery LLP, on behalf of the Issuer, delivered a letter (the “December 19 Response”) to RAM in response to the December 18 Letter. The December 19 Response included the Issuer’s determination that the demand included in the December 18 Letter was improper because it requested documents, including the list of the non-objecting beneficial owners of Common Stock, purportedly outside the scope of Section 624(b) of the New York Business Corporation Law. Nevertheless, the December 19 Response stated that the Issuer would make available the “record of shareholders” to RAM for in-person inspection and copying. A copy of the December 19 Response is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On December 21, 2020, RAM delivered a response (the “December 21 Letter”) to the December 19 Response to McDermott Will & Emery LLP. The December 21 Letter described reactions by RAM to the December 19 Response, including, among other things, RAM’s belief that it is entitled to the materials requested nearly two weeks ago in the Section 624 Letter under clear and unambiguous New York law. Without waiving any rights to other information requested in the Section 624 Letter, the December 21 Letter also sought confirmation on whether “record of shareholders” includes information relating to non-objecting beneficial owners of Common Stock. RAM believes that the December 19 Response speaks volumes of the Issuer’s treatment of its shareholders, particularly because the December 19 Response does not even provide a means of reviewing the “record of shareholders” besides an in-person inspection during a global pandemic. A copy of the December 21 Letter was also sent to the Issuer. A copy of the December 21 Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 7. MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS:

 

99.1Letter Response to the December 18 Letter, from McDermott Will & Emery LLP to RAM, dated December 19, 2020.

 

99.2Letter Response from RAM to McDermott Will & Emery LLP, dated December 21, 2020.
