Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The source of funding for the purchase of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares and 4.75% Convertible Notes 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) was the general working capital of CI Funds that beneficially own Convertible Notes.

Certain of the Reporting Persons received currently exercisable warrants with an exercise price of $30.00 per Ordinary Share (the “Warrants”) as consent consideration paid to them as holders of the Company’s 12% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) in connection with the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 6, 2022, between the Issuer the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, to the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or influencing the control or management of the Issuer.

The CI Funds entered into an agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, the “Transaction Support Agreement”), dated as of December 5, 2022, with (i) the Issuer, (ii) Senior Secured Notes issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, representing all holders of the Senior Secured Notes and (iii) other holders of the Convertible Notes issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Convertible Notes Indenture” and together with the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee representing more than 99% of all holders of the Convertible Notes (such holders of the Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes, including, the CI Funds, collectively, the “Consenting Noteholders”), whereby the Consenting Noteholders have agreed to support a restructuring of the Issuer’s balance sheet, which is intended to be effectuated pursuant to a set of transactions to be commenced by the Issuer (collectively, the “Transactions”).

In connection with the Transactions, all of the Issuer’s outstanding equity securities (including its Ordinary Shares, preferred shares, options and warrants) are expected to be extinguished and cancelled for either nominal or no consideration (in accordance with Jersey law). Accordingly, the Issuer intends to initiate the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the NASDAQ Global Market as soon as practicable. The Transactions are intended to reduce the Issuer’s debt obligations and inject liquidity into the Issuer’s business as necessary to effectuate its strategy shift.

Under the Transaction Support Agreement, the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders have agreed to act in good faith to consummate the Transactions and have undertaken other customary commitments to one another. The Consenting Noteholders have also agreed to forbear from exercising, for so long as the Transaction Support Agreement is in full force and effect, any and all rights and remedies in contravention of the Transaction Support Agreement, which are or becomes available to them in respect of the Senior Secured Notes, the Convertible Notes or any other claims or interests in connection therewith.

The Transaction Support Agreement contains certain deadlines relating to the Transactions, which include deadlines (collectively, the “Milestones”) related to implementing the Transactions either through (i) the filing of a petition for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to effect a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) that implements a fully consensual restructuring (the “Consensual Transaction”) or (ii) parallel creditor schemes of arrangements in England and Jersey (the


CUSIP No. G73268149		Page 18 of 25

“Fallback Scheme”), in each case as described in, and contemplated under, the Implementation Steps Memorandum attached to the Transaction Support Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Implementation Steps Memo”), as well as an outside date of May 1, 2023 for the consummation of a Consensual Transaction or Fallback Scheme (such date, the “Outside Date”). The Transaction Support Agreement provides that Requisite Consenting Noteholders (as defined below) can direct the Issuer to implement the Transactions via alternative implementation steps, subject to the Fiduciary Out (as defined below).

The Transaction Support Agreement provides that any Consenting Noteholder may elect to have any voting securities of NewCo (as defined in the Implementation Steps Memo) (and in any general partner of Newco or entity controlling such general partner) issuable to such Consenting Noteholder in connection with the Transactions which would cause such Consenting Noteholder to beneficially own at any time in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding voting power of Newco (and any general partner of Newco or entity controlling such general partner) to instead be issued in the form of pre-funded warrants of, or non-voting ownership interests in, Newco (and in any general partner of Newco or entity controlling such general partner), in each case exercisable or convertible into voting securities in Newco (and in any general partner of Newco or entity controlling such general partner) upon 61 days’ notice, except that any such Noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such limitation on conversion or exercise be subject to waiver upon the occurrence of certain change of control, company sale or similar events. The Reporting Persons expect to elect to receive pre-funded warrants of, or non-voting ownership interests in, Newco to the extent necessary to comply with Canadian regulations that restrict the percentage of voting equity the Reporting Persons can acquire in Newco.

If the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) reasonably determines, after considering the advice of outside counsel, that taking certain actions, or refraining to take certain actions, is reasonably required for the Board to comply with its fiduciary duties (including if such actions would require expenditures in excess of the Issuer’s available liquidity), the Transaction Support Agreement provides that the Board may elect not to take, or refrain to take, such actions (such election, the “Fiduciary Out”). The Issuer may terminate the Transaction Support Agreement upon, among other circumstances, uncured material breaches of the Transaction Support Agreement by a Consenting Noteholder or a determination by the Board that termination is required pursuant to the Fiduciary Out.

The Consenting Noteholders have termination rights that may, as a general matter, be exercised by (i) holders of the Senior Secured Notes holding at least a majority of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes and (ii) holders of the Convertible Notes holding at least a majority of the outstanding Convertible Notes, and, in the case of both subsection (i) and (ii), each of the Specified Noteholders (each as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) (the holders in (i) and (ii) together, “Requisite Consenting Noteholders”), which termination rights include, among other circumstances, exercise of the Fiduciary Out by the Issuer, material breaches of the Transaction Support Agreement by the Issuer and the failure of the Issuer to meet any Milestone.

Under the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement:

•

The holders of the Senior Secured Notes have agreed to fund their commitment portion of $10 million of indebtedness (the “Bridge Notes”) to the Issuer by no later than December 13, 2022.

•

Each noteholder under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture has agreed to exchange (i) such notes held by it (other than the Bridge Notes) for newly issued senior secured debt at a discount, and (ii) its Bridge Notes for newly issued senior secured debt at face value.

•

Certain holders of Senior Secured Notes, including the CI Funds, have also agreed to purchase an aggregate of $13 million in new common equity at a 35% discount to a total equity value of $50 million (the “Agreed Equity Value”). In addition, each such Senior Secured Noteholder will receive its applicable share of an aggregate of $20 million in new common equity at the Agreed Equity Value.


CUSIP No. G73268149		Page 19 of 25

•

The Consenting Holders who own Convertible Notes, including the CI Funds, have agreed that their Convertible Notes shall be extinguished for no value, other than for the purchase right set forth immediately below.

•

Such holders of Convertible Notes have agreed to purchase an aggregate of $28 million in new common equity at a 35% discount to the Agreed Equity Value. In addition, each such Convertible Noteholder will receive its applicable share of an aggregate of $30 million in new common equity at the Agreed Equity Value.

•

The newly issued senior secured debt will be secured by a first lien on substantially the same collateral and assets as were subject to liens under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. It will (i) mature 5 years (or, with the consent of holders of the Senior Secured Notes holding at least a majority of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes and each of the Specified Noteholders, 7 years) from the closing date and (ii) bear interest at a rate of 12% payable in kind for the first three years (or, with certain consent, two years) following the closing date, and thereafter payable in cash. The new senior secured debt will also provide for a mandatory repurchase with 100% of the net proceeds from certain sales, include covenants and events of default substantially similar to those existing under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, and be redeemable at a price of 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for the first 2 years after issuance, and at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) thereafter.

•

All existing equity of the Issuer will be extinguished and cancelled for no consideration.

Each of the Transactions is on terms and conditions as set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement and the exhibits thereto. The Transaction Support Agreement contains certain representations, warranties and other agreements by the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders. The parties’ obligations thereunder are subject to various terms and conditions and termination provisions as set forth therein.

The foregoing description of the Transaction Support Agreement and the Transactions is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transaction Support Agreement (including the exhibits thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons and its representatives may from time to time continue to engage in discussions with members of management, the Board, the consenting Noteholders, other current or prospective shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other third parties regarding a variety of matters relating to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, the Issuer’s business, management, capital structure and allocation, corporate governance, Board composition and strategic alternatives and direction, and may take other steps seeking to bring about changes to increase shareholder value as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or could result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer’s financial position, results and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s management and the Board, price levels of the Ordinary Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in


CUSIP No. G73268149		Page 20 of 25

the Issuer as they deems appropriate, including, without limitation, exchanging information with the Issuer or other third parties pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, management, Board, governance or capitalization; acquiring additional Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, instruments or other securities of the Issuer (collectively, “Securities”) or disposing of some or all of the Securities beneficially owned by them, in public market or privately negotiated transactions; entering into financial instruments or other agreements that increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ economic exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Statement is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a), (b) The percentage of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based on 3,531,710 Ordinary Shares reported outstanding as of November 9, 2022 in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022 (after giving effect to the 40:1 reverse stock split effected by the Issuer on November 2, 2022), plus (ii) the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants and the conversion of the Convertible Notes beneficially owned by such Reporting Person.

The Transaction Support Agreement may result in the Reporting Persons being deemed a “group” with the other Consenting Noteholders. The other Consenting Noteholders may separately report their beneficial ownership of the Ordinary Shares on a Schedules 13D with the SEC and reference is hereby made to any such filings for the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares of such other Consenting Noteholders and any changes thereto. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned by the other Consenting Noteholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and Convertible Notes, no Reporting Person can exercise any of the Warrants or convert any of the Convertible Notes if the Reporting Person, together with any other Person, including, without limitation, the other Consenting Noteholders, with whom the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended would beneficially own, after such exercise, more than 9.90% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons are known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares held by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.
