Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed on December 28, 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on behalf of Schultze Special Purpose Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and George J. Schultze (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the common shares without par value (“Common Shares”) of Clever Leaves Holdings Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (the “Issuer”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) filed with the SEC on February 7, 2022 (the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”). Only those items that are amended or supplemented are reported herein. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

This Amendment No. 2 is filed not as a result of any transaction by the Reporting Persons, but rather to report a reduction in the percentage of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons resulting solely from an increase in the aggregate number of outstanding Common Shares, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”), as a result of issuances by the Issuer of Common Shares to parties other than the Reporting Persons.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)

As described in Item 4, the Sponsor and Mr. Schultze may be deemed the beneficial owners of 2,248,844 and 2,255,313 Common Shares, respectively, representing approximately 5.0% and 5.1% of the outstanding Common Shares, respectively. The aggregate percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is calculated based upon 44,577,483 Common Shares outstanding as of March 27, 2023, as reported in the 2022 Form 10-K.
