Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D originally filed on July 6, 2021 (the “Original Statement”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common stock”) of Payoneer Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Payoneer Global”). The principal executive office of Payoneer Global is located at 150 W. 30th Street, New York, NY 10001. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Original Statement. Capitalized terms appearing herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Original Statement.

 

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report a decrease in the ownership percentages of the Issuer’s common stock held by each of the Reporting Persons to 4.4%, from 6.7%, as had been reported in the Original Statement.

 

The decrease in ownership is the result of the disposition by Viola Ventures III of an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock (the “Disposed Shares”) pursuant to a series of transactions, which were effected on September 12-13, 2022. The transactions, which were carried out in succession and are reported together in this Amendment No. 1, consisted of the following:

 

Disposition by Viola Ventures III

 

(A)Distributions by Viola Ventures III to Partners: Viola Ventures III distributed, for no consideration,: (x) 5,959,400 Disposed Shares to its limited partners (the “Distributed LP Shares”), including to Mr. Shlomo Dovrat, Mr. Harel Beit-On and Mr. Avi Zeevi; and (y) 1,500,000 Disposed Shares to its general partner, Viola Ventures GP 3, as carried interest (the “Distributed GP Shares”).

 

(B)Sales by Viola Ventures III to Cover Taxes and Expenses: Viola Ventures III sold 40,600 Disposed Shares in open market transactions in order to cover certain tax liabilities and expenses, on September 12, 2022 (at the market price of $6.93 per share).

 

(x)Distributed LP Shares:

 

a.16,004 of the Distributed LP Shares were distributed by Viola Ventures III, for no consideration, to Viola Ventures GP 3 in respect of its limited partnership interest in Viola Ventures III, all of which shares were sold by Viola Ventures GP 3 in ordinary, open market transactions on September 13, 2022 (at market prices that averaged $6.29 per share); and

 

b.357,115 of the Distributed LP Shares were distributed, for no consideration, to certain funds that are limited partners of Viola Ventures III and which are controlled jointly by Messrs. Shlomo Dovrat, Harel Beit-On and Avi Zeevi, all of which shares were sold by those funds in ordinary, open market transactions on September 13, 2022 (at market prices that averaged $6.29 per share).

 

(y)Distributed GP Shares: Viola Ventures GP 3 disposed of all of the Distributed GP Shares, of which:

 

a.1,114,454 Distributed GP Shares were distributed by Viola Ventures GP 3, for no consideration, to persons and entities entitled to participate in the carried interest received by Viola Ventures GP 3 from Viola Ventures III, including to Mr. Shlomo Dovrat, Mr. Harel Beit-On and Mr. Avi Zeevi; and

Receipt of Disposed Shares by Reporting Individuals

 

While the shared (indirect) and overall beneficial ownership of common stock by the Reporting Individuals decreased as a result of the foregoing dispositions of Disposed Shares by Viola Ventures III, each of the Reporting Individuals received certain of the Distributed LP Shares and Distributed GP Shares from Viola Ventures III and Viola Ventures GP 3, respectively (an aggregate of 222,017 shares, 162,200 shares and 162,200 shares were received by Messrs. Shlomo Dovrat, Harel Beit-On, and Avi Zeevi, respectively), thereby acquiring direct ownership of those shares and thereby increasing his sole beneficial ownership of common stock.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

The identity and background information with respect to each of the Reporting Entities and the Reporting Individuals that appeared in Item 2 of the Original Statement is incorporated by reference in this Item 2 of this Amendment No. 1.

 

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

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons’ ownership of shares of common stock of Payoneer Global continues to be for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to continue to review their investment in Payoneer Global and may, based on such review as well as other factors (including, among other things, their evaluation of Payoneer Global’s business, prospects and financial condition, amounts and prices of available shares of common stock, the market for Payoneer Global’s securities, other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons and general market and economic conditions), acquire additional shares of common stock or dispose of shares of common stock, either on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Reporting Persons reserve the right at any time to change their present intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4, or to dispose of any or all of the remaining shares of common stock held by them.

 

Except as set forth herein, as of the filing of this Amendment No.1, the Reporting Persons do not have any definitive plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the following: (a) the acquisition by Viola Ventures III or any of the other Reporting Persons of additional shares of common stock, or the disposition of shares of common stock that it or they hold; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (e) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (f) changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any other person; (g) causing the Issuer’s common stock to be delisted from a national securities exchange (such as The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, on which the common stock is currently listed) or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (h) causing the common stock to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

All calculations of beneficial ownership percentage in this Amendment No. 1 are made on the basis of 346,439,294 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022, as reported by the Issuer in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2022.

 

(a) Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the number of shares, and percentage of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Issuer, set forth on its or his respective cover page to this Amendment No. 1. Such information set forth on those cover pages is incorporated by reference in this paragraph (a) of Item 5 of this Amendment No. 1. Viola Ventures III holds 15,076,129 shares of common stock, and it therefore possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all of those shares. The remaining Reporting Persons may be deemed to possess shared voting and dispositive power with respect to all such 15,076,129 shares of common stock held by Viola Ventures III (representing 4.4% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding common stock) due to their possession of direct (in the case of Viola Ventures GP 3) or indirect (in the case the Reporting Individuals) authority to make voting and investment decisions with respect to those shares, in light of their respective relationships with or to Viola Ventures III described in Item 2 of the Original Statement. Each of the Reporting Individuals furthermore directly holds shares of common stock (222,017 shares, 162,200 shares and 162,200 shares held by Shlomo Dovrat, Harel Beit-On, and Avi Zeevi, respectively), and therefore possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to those shares.

Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons do not possess any beneficial ownership in any shares of the Issuer’s common stock.

 

(b) Viola Ventures III possesses sole power to vote and direct the vote, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, 15,076,129 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, and all other Reporting Persons share power to vote and direct the vote, and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, those 15,076,129 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, in each case as described in paragraph (a) of this Item 5 above. Shlomo Dovrat, Harel Beit-On, and Avi Zeevi furthermore individually possess sole power to vote and direct the vote, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 222,017 shares, 162,200 shares and 162,200 shares of common stock, respectively.

 

(c) As described in Item 1 of this Amendment No. 1 (the contents of which are incorporated by reference in this paragraph (c) of Item 5), on or about September 12 to September 13, 2022, the following transactions were effected by the Reporting Persons:

Viola Ventures III also sold, on the open-market, an aggregate of 40,600 Disposed Shares (at a market price of $6.93 per share), in order to cover certain tax liabilities and expenses.

 

Viola Ventures GP 3, in turn, (x) distributed, for no consideration, 1,114,454 Distributed GP Shares, to persons and entities entitled to participate in the carried interest received by it, including the Reporting Individuals, (y) sold, on the open market, the remaining 385,546 Distributed GP Shares received by it, in order to cover certain tax liabilities and expenses, and (iii) sold in ordinary, open market transactions, the 16,004 Distributed LP Shares received by it in respect of its limited partnership interest in Viola Ventures III.

The Reporting Individuals received (A) Distributed LP Shares from Viola Ventures III, for no consideration, in respect of their limited partnership interests therein, and (B) Distributed GP Shares from Viola Ventures GP 3, in respect of their participation in the carried interest received by Viola Ventures GP 3 as general partner of Viola Ventures III.

 

Certain funds controlled jointly by the Reporting Individuals received 357,115 Distributed LP Shares, for no consideration, in respect of their limited partnership interests in Viola Ventures III, and, in turn, sold all of those shares in ordinary, open market transactions.

 

Except as described in this Item 5(c), the Reporting Persons (including entities controlled by them) have not effected any transactions in the common stock during the 60-day period ended September 13, 2022.

 

(d) The various limited partners of Viola Ventures III have the right to receive dividends from, and proceeds from the potential sale of, the 15,076,129 shares of common stock held by Viola Ventures III.
