Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 6, 2022 (the “Original Filing”), by David Scott (the “Reporting Person”). The Original Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment No. 1. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings set forth in the Original Filing.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
(b) The principal business address of the Reporting Person is Units SCF 1&2 Western International Market, Hayes Road, Southall, UB2 5XJ, United Kingdom.
(c) The present principal occupation of the Reporting Person is Entrepreneur. The principal business address of the Issuer is listed in Item 2(b).
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
The Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the Common Shares in his capacity as Co-Founder, Director and Chief Technology Officer of the Issuer. The Reporting Person resigned from his director and officer roles with the Issuer effective November 1, 2023 after concluding that, in light of the Issuer’s ongoing search for a viable long-term solution to its financial difficulties, it is in the best interests of the Issuer and its stakeholders, including its creditors, that he step down from his current roles with the Company in order to preserve his flexibility to explore all available options. The Reporting Person will continue to participate in the affairs of the Issuer through its ownership interest and the voting of his Ordinary Shares. Each Ordinary Share has ten votes per share on all matters subject to the vote of the shareholders.
The Reporting Person, at any time, and from time to time may acquire additional Ordinary Shares or Common Shares or dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares or Common Shares that he owns depending upon an ongoing evaluation of his investment in the Issuer, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, other investment considerations and/or other factors.
Except as disclosed herein, the Reporting Person has no plan or proposal which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b) through (j) inclusive of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider his position and/or change his purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
| (a) | The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 18,726,050 Common Shares, representing 10.8% of the Common Shares. The aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person consists of 10,670,522 outstanding Ordinary Shares, 8,055,428 Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of vested options, and 100 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of vested options. Outstanding Ordinary Shares are convertible at any time into an equal number of Common Shares at the option of the holder thereof. The percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based on 154,224,500 Common Shares outstanding on December 31, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 20-F filed with the SEC on May 1, 2023. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(i)(1), any percentage ownership of Common Stock disclosed herein reflects the percentage ownership that the Reporting Person would hold if they exercised their rights to acquire Common Shares, without any other person exercising similar rights. These percentages should not be taken to reflect the Reporting Person’s proportion of economic interest or voting power in the Issuer. |
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Founder Options
On January 15, 2021, the Issuer granted the following “founder options” over ordinary shares to the Reporting Person: (i) a fully vested option over 5,235,851 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $16.96 per ordinary share and (ii) following shareholder approval obtained on February 1, 2021, an additional option over 2,819,577 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $17.05 per ordinary share, vesting over a two-year period subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions.
Vested stock options will expire on the three-month anniversary of the Reporting Person’s resignation date.
