Such authority includes the power of GP V to vote and otherwise dispose of securities purchased by OPI V. The number of outstanding Ordinary Shares held by OPI V is 3,671,976 Ordinary Shares (of which 2,191,000 are represented by ADSs). Advisors and GP V may each be considered to hold indirectly 3,671,976 Ordinary Shares. Isaly, pursuant to his authority as the managing member of, and owner of a controlling interest in, Advisors, also has shared discretionary power to direct the vote and the disposition of the securities of the Issuer held by OPI V.
Jonathan Silverstein (“Silverstein”), a Member of Advisors, has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer since November 2014, and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons may have the ability to affect and influence control of the Issuer. From time to time, Silverstein may receive stock options or other awards of equity-based compensation pursuant to the Issuer’s compensation arrangements for non-employee directors. Silverstein is obligated to transfer any securities issued under any such stock options or other awards, or the economic benefit thereof, to the Reporting Persons, which will in turn ensure that such securities or economic benefit are provided to OPI V.
Registration Rights Agreement
OPI V and certain other stockholders of the Issuer entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of November 24, 2014. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the parties agreed that:
Demand Registration Rights
At any time when the Issuer is eligible to use a Form F-3 registration statement, the holders of at least 25% of the shares covered by the Registration Rights Agreement or their transferees, can request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their shares on Form F-3. Such request for registration must cover a number of shares with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of selling expenses, of at least $5.0 million. The Issuer will not be required to effect a demand registration during the period that is 30 days before the Issuer’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is 90 days after the effective date of, a company-initiated registration of its securities, provided that the Issuer is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective. In addition, the Issuer will not be required to effect a demand registration if it has effected two such demand registrations within the twelve month period immediately preceding the date of such request.
