* 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 ownership figures reported herein exclude (i) options exercisable for 19,000 Ordinary Shares (“Options”) and (ii) restricted share unit awards exercisable for 4,000 Ordinary Shares (“RSU”). Both the Options and the RSUs were issued to Mr. Blank as compensation upon his appointment to the Issuer’s board of directors. Neither the Options nor the RSUs are exercisable within 60 days of the filing date of this report.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. M47364100 SCHEDULE 13D Page 5 of 6

 

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.
