This Amendment No. 3 amends and restates, where indicated, the statement on Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2011, as amended on March 4, 2013 and April 5, 2013. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D, as amended to date.

This Amendment No. 3 is being made to reflect the distribution of the Founder Shares to the members of the Sponsor. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Person in the Schedule 13D, as amended to date.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On January 3, 2014, the Founder Shares were distributed to the members of the Sponsor pro rata in accordance with their respective membership interests for no consideration in order to provide them with direct beneficial ownership of securities previously owned indirectly.

Item 5. Interests of Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b) The information contained on the cover page to this Schedule and is incorporated herein by reference.

The percentage beneficial ownership is based on 52,752,890 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of December 26, 2013 (which excludes 3,053,634 shares held by AIA, the Issuer’s majority owned subsidiary), as adjusted, in each case, to reflect the shares of Common Stock issuable to Messrs. Sloan and Sagansky upon the exercise of their respective Sponsor Warrants and options that are presently exercisable.

The percentage holdings shown do not reflect the shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of 19,118,233 outstanding shares of Non-Voting Common Stock of the Issuer held by an unrelated shareholder.  If such shares were converted, the beneficial ownership of Mr. Sloan would equal 10.7% of the 77,165,707 shares that would then be outstanding and the beneficial ownership of Mr. Sagansky would equal 3.8% of the 73,645,706 shares that would then be outstanding.

(c) See Item 4.

(d) Not applicable.
 
(e)  As of January 3, 2014, the Sponsor ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
