Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

  The ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares reported herein are held by HBK Master and HBK Merger. Funds to purchase the ADSs were derived from general working capital and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin account, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account.  The margin account may from time to time have debit balances. Since other securities are held in the margin account, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares reported herein.  A total of approximately $391,905,897 was paid to acquire the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares reported herein.

 

 

CUSIP No. 000380204SCHEDULE 13DPage 10 of 22 Pages

 

 

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

 

Each of HBK Master and HBK Merger acquired the ADSs reported herein for investment purposes in the ordinary course of its business, pursuant to investment strategies, including merger arbitrage and event driven strategies, because the Reporting Persons believed, among other things, that the ADSs, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.

The Reporting Persons intend to vote in favor of the proposed sale of the Issuer to Danaher Corporation for $24.00 per share in cash (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Reporting Persons believe that the Proposed Transaction was achieved as a result of a rigorous process undertaken by the board of directors of the Issuer and that a vote failure would create significant risks for the business going forward.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. While the Reporting Persons have no current intention to do so, depending on future events or circumstances, the Reporting Persons could in the future engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, operations, management, governance, strategy and future plans of the Issuer, including the Proposed Transaction.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the terms and status of the Proposed Transaction and any developments related thereto, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the board of directors, price levels of the ADSs, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities markets and general economic, geopolitical and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, (i) increasing or decreasing their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer, including through transactions involving the ADSs or Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Issuer in the open market or in private transactions, and/or (ii) entering into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the ADSs and/or Ordinary Shares without affecting their beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares.  The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their intentions and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect to their investment in the Issuer, including as related to the Proposed Transaction. 

Except as set forth herein or as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and percentages of the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person.  The aggregate percentage of Ordinary Shares reported to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 230,151,118 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of October 2, 2023, as reported in Exhibit 99.2 to the Issuer’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2023.
