CUSIP No.: 294100102
The following constitutes Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 8”). This Amendment No. 8 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, Amendment No. 5 filed with the SEC on December 18, 2020, Amendment No. 6 filed with the SEC on December 21, 2020 and Amendment No. 7 filed with the SEC on December 22, 2020 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On December 23, 2020, RAM filed its definitive proxy statement and accompanying GREEN proxy card with the SEC in connection with its solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. RAM believes that the director nominees nominated by RAM will, if elected, utilize their deep industry knowledge and prior experience on public company boards to the benefit of shareholders, and will provide new objective and independent perspectives to the Company’s Board.
Although the Company has remained steadfast in its decision to keep the date of the Annual Meeting as January 4, 2020, RAM hopes that the Board realizes that it would be in shareholders’ best interest to postpone the Annual Meeting until a later date that would allow shareholders to form their own opinions about the contested nature of the meeting.
RAM believes that no harm or injury to the Company or shareholders would occur if the Company delayed the date of the Annual Meeting, and the decision to do so would signal the Company’s interest in and support for shareholder democracy. In the alternative, RAM believes that if the Company decides to refuse to delay the Annual Meeting, such a decision would signal an animosity for shareholders’ interest and antipathy for shareholder democracy.
