Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares reported herein, as well as the Note, for investment purposes, and such acquisitions were made in the Reporting Persons’ ordinary course of business.

The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D to supersede the Schedule 13G. In light of a proposal by other shareholders to add a shareholder representative to the Board of Directors, as disclosed in an amendment to the other shareholders’ Schedule 13D filed on February 23, 2022, a director of the Issuer invited Ms. Paul to have a discussion on March 28, 2022.

The Reporting Persons may engage in further discussions with members of the Board and/or the Issuer’s management regarding composition of the Issuer’s Board.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons may, in their sole discretion, depending on market conditions, an evaluation of the business and the prospects of the Issuer and other factors, purchase additional Ordinary Shares, or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or dispose of Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to market conditions and other factors. The Reporting Persons also may engage in conversations with management and/or the Board regarding a range of issues, including those relating to the business and strategy of the Issuer, management, corporate governance, operations, investor communications, capital allocation, capital structure, mergers and acquisitions strategy, and executive compensation. The Reporting Persons also may have conversations with other interested parties, including industry analysts, other shareholders, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, and other professionals.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Promissory Note

On February 14, 2022, the Issuer and Lynrock Fund entered into a securities purchase agreement, providing for the issuance to Lynrock Fund of a senior unsecured convertible promissory note (the “Note”), convertible into the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares, in an aggregate principal amount of $40 million. The transaction closed, and the Note was issued, on February 17, 2022.

The Note will not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the Note will not accrete. The Note will mature on February 14, 2025; provided, that the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may extend the date of maturity by one year up to two times, each time by providing the holder of the Note with 90 days’ notice of such extension. The Note is convertible, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below, in whole or in part at the option of the holder at any time prior to the Issuer’s repayment of the principal amount of the Note in full, at an initial conversion rate of 97.0874 Ordinary Shares per $1,000 of the principal amount being converted (based on an initial conversion price equal to $10.30 per Ordinary Share), subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments as described in the Note (as it may be so adjusted, the “Conversion Rate”).

In the event the Issuer exercises its option to extend the maturity date, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted such that the conversion price will decrease by $1 per Ordinary Share (as adjusted commensurate with any anti-dilution adjustments to the Conversion Rate prior to such time) for each year that the maturity is extended. In such event, the Conversion Rate for the year following the first extension would be increased to 110.8% of the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. If the Issuer elects to extend the maturity date for a second year, the Conversion Rate for the year following such second extension would be increased to 112.0% of the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such second extension.

In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Note), the holder of the Note has the right to require the Issuer to convert all or a portion of the Note to Ordinary Shares or redeem all (but not less than all) of the outstanding principal amount of the Note. In the event of such a conversion or redemption in connection with a Change of Control, the Issuer will also be required to pay the holder an amount in cash equal to 6% per annum on the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note from the date of such conversion or redemption through the maturity date, as it may have been extended. Should the holder of the Note receive a demand or notice giving rise to a claim for any taxes payable arising from a payment made under the Note, then the Issuer has agreed to fully indemnify the holder for the respective tax amount due and payable.

Lynrock Fund’s conversion of the Note will be subject to an initial beneficial ownership limitation of 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after any such conversion, which may be decreased upon notice by Lynrock Fund or increased to 24.99% upon 61 days’ notice by Lynrock Fund. The beneficial ownership limitation with respect to any holder of the Note other than Lynrock Fund or its affiliates will be 9.99%. In addition, any transfer of the Note may only be made in full.

The description of the Note contained in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Convertible Promissory Note filed as Exhibit B to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.

Registration Rights Agreement

On February 17, 2022, the Issuer and Lynrock Fund entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to file a registration statement within forty-five (45) days of the date of the agreement to register the resale of (i) any Ordinary Shares held by Lynrock Fund as of February 14, 2022; (ii) any Ordinary Shares into which the Note may be converted; and (iii) any Ordinary Shares or other securities issued or issuable in connection with the exercise of certain dividends or distributions (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”).

The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, subject to certain limitations.

The registration rights will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which there cease to be any Registrable Securities; or (ii) the mutual written agreement of Lynrock Fund and the Issuer.

The description of the Registration Rights Agreement contained in this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement filed as Exhibit C to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.
