SCHEDULE 13D/A

Introductory Note

 

This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 8”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 9, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 9, 2020, Amendment No. 2 filed on May 21, 2020, Amendment No. 3 filed on May 28, 2020, Amendment No. 4 filed on August 31, 2020, Amendment No. 5 filed on March 11, 2021, Amendment No. 6 filed on May 26, 2022 and Amendment No. 7 filed on July 13, 2022 (together, the “Original Schedule 13D”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

This Amendment No. 8 is being filed in relation to the settlement of a portion of existing and previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with Citibank, RBC and JPMorgan, by QH Hungary (the “Partial Settlement”).

 

After the Partial Settlement, QH Hungary remained the direct beneficial owner of a total of 4,163,181 Shares and Gulf Hungary remained the indirect beneficial owner of the same 4,163,181 Shares. Gulf Hungary continues to be the direct beneficial owner of a separate 37,186 Shares. All 4,163,181 Shares directly owned by QH Hungary remain subject to the Shareholder Agreement (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D) to which QH Hungary also became a party by executing a joinder thereto.

 

This Amendment No. 8 is filed jointly by the Reporting Persons. All disclosure for items contained in the Original Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference, subject to the amended and additional information provided for such item in this Amendment No. 8. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

This Amendment No. 8 relates to the Partial Settlement, the purpose of which is to settle a portion of existing and previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with Citibank, RBC and JPMorgan by delivering shares of Common Stock, to Citibank, RBC and JPMorgan.

 

On July 14, 2022, July 15, 2022 and July 18, 2022, QH Hungary settled a portion of existing and previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with Citibank, RBC and JPMorgan (each, a “PVF Counter Party”) by delivering 6,204 shares of Common Stock, 4,345 shares of Common Stock and 1,715 shares of Common Stock, to Citibank, RBC and JPMorgan, respectively, on each of such dates (delivering an aggregate of 36,792 shares of Common Stock during such three-day period), in order to settle its obligations under the previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with each of the respective PVF Counter Parties as of such dates. These shares represented a portion of the total shares underlying the previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with Citibank, RBC and JPMorgan.

(a) – (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 8 is incorporated herein by reference. The Shares reported on this Amendment No. 8 are held by the Reporting Persons. QH Hungary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf Hungary, which is owned by Gulf Houghton, which is a subsidiary of Gulf Oil International. Gulf Oil International is owned by Amas Holding SPF (“Amas Holding”), a private wealth holding company, which in turn is beneficially owned by multiple members of the Hinduja family, with no single individual having a beneficial interest in Amas Holding of 5% or more. Based upon 17,912,086 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2022, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2022, the Shares owned by the Reporting Persons constitutes approximately 23.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

(c) Except as described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 6, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person listed in Item 2(a)-(c), have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

 

(d) Except as described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 6, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this Amendment No. 8.
