(“Fund V Supp GP”), which is the general partner to Baring Vostok Fund V Supplemental Fund, L.P. (“Supp Fund” and, together with BVPEFV, the “Fund V Funds”)) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to Ozon Holdings PLC (the “Issuer”), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 7, 2020, as subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021, Amendment No. 2, filed with the SEC on May 3, 2022, and Amendment No. 3, filed with the SEC on December 30, 2022 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D.

    This Amendment No. 4 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report the entry by the Reporting Persons into a framework agreement and other agreements providing for, among other things, the sale and transfer of ordinary shares, nominal value $0.001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one Class A share (the “Class A Share”) of the Issuer held by BVFVNL, Ozon LP and BVSIL to a third party, as well as to reflect certain other changes to the information disclosed in the Schedule 13D.

    Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify or amend any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

    ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

    The information set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

    ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

    Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

    Framework Agreement

    On March 31, 2023, as part of the BV Funds Restructuring, the Reporting Persons and certain of their affiliated entities (the “Baring Vostok Entities”) entered into a framework agreement with the other parties thereto (the “Framework Agreement”) relating to the transfer by certain of the Reporting Persons and the Baring Vostok Entities of various equity interests in certain assets that have a Russia nexus (the “Target Assets”) to a company (the “Buyer”) ultimately controlled and owned by former Russian partners of Baring Vostok Capital Partners Group Limited (“BVCPGL”), who have withdrawn from BVCPGL.

    Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, certain of the Reporting Persons and the Baring Vostok Entities will transfer the Target Assets, which include securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting Persons (the “Ozon Interests”), to the Buyer pursuant to a series of share purchase agreements, each of which describes the terms and conditions of the specific closing conditions and consideration for each transfer of the Target Assets. The Framework Agreement provides that on the closing date of certain share purchase agreements (the “Closing”), the consideration for the Target Assets, including the Ozon Interests, will consist of (i) the irrevocable, unconditional and unilateral release of the relevant Reporting Persons and the Baring Vostok Entities from the collateral obligations under certain existing loan facility agreements, (ii) a deferred cash consideration of $150 million payable by the Buyer (or any other person on its behalf), subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, to Fund V Main, or an undertaking

     

    8


    to pay such amount to Fund V Main, on or before the thirty-six month anniversary of the Closing, with a potential extension of up to one year as may be agreed by the parties to the Framework Agreement, and (iii) such additional consideration as set out in each share purchase agreement with respect to the sale and transfer of the specified Target Asset.

    In accordance with the Framework Agreement, until the earlier of (i) the relevant Closing, (ii) termination of the Framework Agreement, (iii) termination of the relevant share purchase agreement or (iv) any breach of obligations by the Buyer under the Framework Agreement that has not been remedied within the timeframe set forth in the Framework Agreement, Fund V Main and certain of the Baring Vostok Entities, BVIL or BVSIL, as applicable, must not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the relevant Target Assets, including the Ozon Interests, other than in accordance with the Framework Agreement, the relevant share purchase agreements and other documents relating to the BV Funds Restructuring.

    In addition, concurrent with the transfer of the Target Assets to the Buyer and as part of the BV Funds Restructuring, the Reporting Persons, the Baring Vostok Entities or their affiliates will retain, receive and/or increase interests in certain assets without a Russia nexus by way of an undertaking by affiliates of BVCPGL to assign some of such affiliates’ interests in Fund V GP and Fund V Supp GP to BVFVML and by way of an assignment to Ozon LP of other assets without a Russia nexus in certain other funds affiliated with the Reporting Persons, in each case, at the Closing.

    In accordance with the Framework Agreement, on March 31, 2023, certain of the Reporting Persons entered into share purchase agreements with the Buyer with respect to the Ozon Interests as follows:

     

    (i)

    BVFVNL and the Buyer entered into a share purchase agreement providing for the sale and transfer of 33,742,585 Ordinary Shares currently held by BVFVNL to the Buyer for $33,742.58 (the “First Ozon SPA”), which closing must occur in accordance with the First Ozon SPA on the same date as the closing of certain other share purchase agreements with respect to the Target Assets;

     

    (ii)

    BVFVNL and the Buyer entered into a share purchase agreement providing for the indirect sale and transfer of 2,160,000 Ordinary Shares and one Class A Share currently held by BVFVNL to the Buyer by way of the transfer of 100% of the issued share capital of BV Ozon Private Equity Fund Ltd (“BV Ozon PEF”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVFVNL, to the Buyer for €1,000 (the “Second Ozon SPA”), subject to BV Ozon PEF holding 2,160,000 Ordinary Shares and one Class A Share currently held by BVFVNL;

     

    (iii)

    BVFVNL and the Buyer entered into a share purchase agreement providing for the sale and transfer of 783,042 Ordinary Shares currently held by BVFVNL to the Buyer for $783.04 (the “Third Ozon SPA”);

     

    (iv)

    The Closing of the Ozon SPAs is subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals from the Governmental Commission for Control over Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation (or its authorized subdivision) and the Russian President.

    None of the Framework Agreement or the share purchase agreements, including the Ozon SPAs, ascribe a specific per-share or aggregate value for the Target Assets to be transferred beyond the consideration received thereunder.

    As part of the BV Funds Restructuring, the Reporting Persons expect to dispose, by way of distribution or other transfer, of all other Ordinary Shares held by them, either subject to the Framework Agreement and the Ozon SPAs or otherwise. Following the BV Funds Restructuring, the Reporting Persons would no longer hold any securities of the Issuer. The timing and terms and conditions of such transactions have yet to be determined.
