EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed by certain of the Reporting Persons with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 2, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on October 15, 2018 and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on November 25, 2019 (the “Schedule 13D”).

 

This Amendment amends Item 3, Item 4, Item 5 and Item 7 of the Schedule 13D as set forth below.  Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following:

 

From November 27, 2019 through December 2, 2019, LMH executed trades in the open market to acquire beneficial ownership of 117,600 shares of the Issuer Common Stock (the “LMH Covered Trades”).  From December 4, 2019 through January 27, 2020, LMSI executed trades in the open market to acquire beneficial ownership of 1,043,066 shares of the Issuer Common Stock (the “LMSI Covered Trades” and, together with the LMH Covered Trades, the “Covered Trades”). The LMH Covered Trades were funded with cash on LMH’s balance sheet available for investment and the LMSI Covered Trades were funded with cash on LMH’s balance sheet available for investment, on behalf of LMSI.

 

On December 4, 2019 and December 5, 2019, in connection with internal transfers, LMH transferred 270,600 shares of the Issuer Common Stock, which it directly held, to LMSI.

 

The information set forth in Item 5 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following:

 

LMH and LMSI acquired beneficial ownership of the Issuer Common Stock in the Covered Trades for investment purposes and intends to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  The information contained in each of Item 3 and Item 5 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.

such, Mrs. Yousriya Nassif Loza may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of 33,955,766 shares, or approximately 31.1% of the Issuer Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a non-diluted basis).

 

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership in all shares of the Issuer Common Stock reported herein, except to the extent of the Reporting Person’s respective pecuniary interest therein.  All share percentage calculations in this Amendment are based on 109,244,620 shares of the Issuer Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 25, 2019, as reported under the section “Description of Common Shares” in the Issuer’s Amendment No. 1 to Form F-10 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2019.
