The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth in amended and restated Annex A hereto is incorporated by reference in this amended Item 2.

Item 5(a) through (c) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a) – (b) By virtue of the relationships and agreements among the Reporting Persons described herein, the Reporting Persons are a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(5) of the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As such, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 160,777,194 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, which includes: (i) 37,358,622 Ordinary Shares held by Cayman Holdings, (ii) 2,701,935 Global Blue Warrants held directly by Cayman Holdings exercisable for 2,701,935 Ordinary Shares, (iii) 4,939,137 Series A Preferred Shares held directly by Cayman Holdings that are convertible into 4,939,137 Ordinary Shares, (iv) 97,258,598 Ordinary Shares held directly by Globetrotter, (v) 6,548,415 Global Blue Warrants held directly by Globetrotter that are exercisable for 6,548,415 Ordinary Shares, and (vi) 11,970,487 Series A Preferred Shares held directly by Globetrotter that are convertible into 11,970,487 Ordinary Shares, representing in the aggregate approximately 77.8% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer calculated on the basis of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.
