Explanatory
Note
This
Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed on August 21, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D”),
is being jointly filed by (i) Community US Fund Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation registered as an investment adviser with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Firm”); (ii) Community Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership
(the “Master Fund”); and (iii) Jeremy Blank (“Mr. Blank”).
Except
as set forth below, the Original Schedule 13D remains in effect, and capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have such respective
meanings as defined in the Original Schedule 13D. The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to
be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.
Item
5. |
INTEREST
IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
|
|
|
Item
5 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a)
- (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein
by reference. The calculation of the percentage of outstanding shares is based on 131,125,609 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August
28, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on September 13, 2023.
As
of the filing date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 6,169,471 Ordinary Shares, which
includes (i) 5,169,471 Ordinary Shares, and (ii) Warrants exercisable for 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares. The Warrants contain a provision
prohibiting exercise to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the
number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The securities reported herein are held for
the account of the Master Fund. The Firm and Mr. Blank have investment discretion over the Master Fund and therefore may be deemed
to beneficially own the securities held for the account of the Master Fund. Thus, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons may
be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate 6,169,471 Ordinary Shares which represent approximately 4.7% of the currently outstanding
Ordinary Shares.
The
beneficial ownership reported herein for Mr. Blank excludes (i) Options exercisable for 19,000 Ordinary Shares and (ii) RSUs exercisable
for 4,000 Ordinary Shares. Both the Options and the RSUs were issued to Mr. Blank as compensation upon his appointment to the Board.
Neither the Options nor the RSUs are exercisable within 60 days of the filing date of this report
(c)
There have been no transactions effected by the Reporting Persons in the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
(d)
Except as set forth in this Item 5 and for persons referred to in Item 2, no person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares covered by this Schedule 13D
that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e)
As of August 28, 2023, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding
Ordinary Shares. |
