This Amendment No. 2 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.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D, as amended to date.

This Amendment No. 2 is being made to reflect the distribution of the Sponsor Warrants to the members of the Sponsor.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Person in the Schedule 13D, as amended to date.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
 
The Sponsor Warrants 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 35,724,655 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2013 (which excludes 3,053,634 shares held by AIA, the Issuer’s majority owned subsidiary), as adjusted 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 aggregate amount beneficially owned by the three Reporting Persons (including the shares which could be acquired within 60 days by exercising such warrants and options) is 11,165,330 shares which would represent 26.1% of the shares that would then be outstanding.

The shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons include 926,463 shares of Common Stock that are subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor on January 31, 2016 in the event that the sales price of the Common Stock does not equal or exceed $13.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period within 24 months following the consummation of the Business Combination.

The percentage holdings shown do not reflect the shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion of 19,118,233 outstanding shares Non-Voting Common Stock of the Issuer held by an unrelated shareholder; if such shares were converted, the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons would equal 18.0% of the shares of Common Stock that would then be outstanding.

(c)  During the past 60 days, the Reporting Persons have engaged in the following transaction involving shares of Common Stock not previously reported: on April 4, 2013 the Sponsor distributed the Sponsor Warrants to its members, including Messrs. Sloan and Sagansky for no consideration.
