Explanatory Note

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the undersigned hereby amend the following items on Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D originally filed by Peterson Capital Group, LLC (“PCG”), Peterson Capital Group, Inc. (“PCGI”) and James J. Peterson on August 16, 2018 with respect to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Lantronix, Inc. (the “Issuer”). PCG, PCGI and Mr. Peterson are herein collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons” and individually as a “Reporting Person.”

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

The aggregate purchase price of 250,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by PGC is $1,000,000. The source of funds for acquiring the foregoing shares of Common Stock was PGC’s working capital.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The 250,000 shares of Common Stock were acquired by PGC as part of an underwritten public offering by the Issuer of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price of $4.00 per share that was completed on September 20, 2018. The shares of Common Stock were acquired for investment purposes. PCG intends to conduct a review of the investment to determine whether there may be possible changes to the Issuer’s board of directors, management or operations that may improve shareholder value and whether the Issuer should consider using acquisitions as part of its overall growth strategy.

 

Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals that would result in or relate to any of the transactions or changes listed in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D. However, as part of their ongoing evaluation of investment and investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters or make formal proposals to management or the board of directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties) or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a) and (b) As of the date hereof, the shares of Common Stock are held directly by PCG. PCGI is the Manager of PCG and James J. Peterson is the sole shareholder, director and officer of PCGI. PCG, PCGI and Mr. Peterson share the power to vote or to direct the vote and the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 1,412,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by PCG, representing approximately 6.6% of the Issuer’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock. All percentages of Common Stock disclosed in this statement are based on 21,408,196 shares of Common Stock reported in the Issuer’s Prospectus Supplement dated September 18, 2018 as outstanding following the Issuer’s underwritten public offering. Such Prospectus Supplement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2018 and is the most recent document filed by the Issuer setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

(c)       During the past sixty days prior to September 20, 2018, Mr. Peterson acquired the following shares of Common Stock through open market purchases:

 

Date of Transaction		Number of Shares		Price per Share
08/06/2018		35,895		$3.5656
08/06/2018		46,000		$3.3488
08/07/2018		25,000		$3.5502
08/07/2018		67,105		$3.8196
08/07/2018		100,000		$3.6812

 

 

In addition, on August 10, 2018, Mr. Peterson transferred all 1,162,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by him to PGC in connection with the issuance of a promissory note by PGC to Mr. Peterson. These transactions were previously reported in Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on August 16, 2018.

 

(d)       In accordance with the limited liability company agreement of PGC, upon dissolution of PGC, the assets of PGC shall be liquidated and after payment to any creditors of PGC and the creation of any reserves as deemed reasonably necessary, the proceeds will be distributed to each member of PGC in accordance with such member’s pro rata membership interest in PGC. Therefore, to the extent the dividends and proceeds of the Common Stock comprise part of the assets of PCG, each member of PGC has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock in accordance with such member’s pro rata membership interest in the PGC.

 

(e)       Not applicable.
