Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D, “Interest in Securities of the Issuer” is amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) and (b)
As of the date hereof, WIL owns directly (and therefore is considered the beneficial owner of) 8,200,542 Ordinary Shares, or approximately
59.14% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Thus, as of the date hereof, WIL may be deemed to have the shared power to vote, or direct the voting of, and the shared power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, all such shares.
WIL is controlled by its majority shareholder, B.S.D, which as of the date hereof directly owns 771,075 Ordinary Shares of the issuer.
Accordingly, as of the date hereof, B.S.D may be deemed to beneficially own 8,971,617 Ordinary Shares (comprised of 771,075 Ordinary Shares held directly by B.S.D, and 8,200,542 Ordinary Shares held directly by WIL), or approximately 64.70%
of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Thus, as of the date hereof, B.S.D may be deemed to have the shared power to vote, or direct the voting of, and the shared power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, all such shares.
As of the date hereof, JW directly owns though a wholly-owned company 13,2516 Ordinary Shares and ZW directly owns though a wholly-owned company 803,962 Ordinary Shares. JW and ZW
together own 100% of B.S.D shares and each be deemed to beneficially own 9,788,830 Ordinary Shares (comprised of 8,200,542 Ordinary Shares held directly by WIL, 771,075 Ordinary Shares held directly by B.S.D, 13,251 Ordinary Shares
held directly by JW and 803,962 Ordinary Shares held directly by ZW), or approximately 70.59% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Thus, as of the date hereof, each of JW and ZW may be deemed to have the shared power to vote, or direct
the voting of, and the shared power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, all such shares.
Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
Neither the filing of this Amendment to Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares referred to herein for purposes of Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose.
Because JW and ZW are brothers, both serve as a Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and JW and ZW together beneficially own
