    Explanatory Note

     

    This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

    As used in this Amendment, the term “Reporting Persons” collectively refers to: (i) Waha LATAM Investments Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Waha LATAM”) and (ii) Waha Capital PJSC, a public joint stock company with limited liability, formed in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

    As set forth below, as a result of the transactions described herein, on April 1, 2024, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Ordinary Shares. The filing of this Amendment represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.

    Item 5. Interest In Securities of the Issuer.

    Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     

    (a) and (b)   The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the cover pages of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference. As of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on April 3, 2024, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially owned any Ordinary Shares.

     

     

    (c)

    On March 27, 2024, Waha LATAM exercised its right to convert all of its 50,000 shares of Series B Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of thereof (the “Conversion”). As a result of the Conversion, Waha LATAM received 5,405,405 shares of Ordinary Shares on April 1, 2024.

     

    Waha LATAM effected the following transaction involving the Ordinary Shares on the date indicated, and such transaction is the only transaction in the Ordinary Shares by the Reporting Persons in the sixty (60) days preceding the date of this Amendment. Such transaction involved a block trade of 5,405,405 Ordinary Shares through a broker.
