ITEM 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended and supplemented by adding to the final paragraph thereof the following information:

As previously described in Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 10, the Stockholders entered into funded collar confirmations (as subsequently amended, the September 2014 Funded Collar Confirmations and the transactions thereunder, the September 2014 Funded Collar Transactions) with each of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (DB), Nomura International plc (Nomura) and Citibank N.A., London Branch (Citi, and together with DB, and Nomura, the September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparties) that relate in the aggregate to 14,923,306 Ordinary Shares (the September 2014 Collared Shares).

As previously described in Amendment No. 13, Waha entered into Rule 10b5-1 sales plans (the Collar Confirmation Sales Plans) with each September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparty and such September 2014 Funded Collar Counterpartys broker-dealer affiliate relating to the excess of the return obligation of the September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparty with respect to rehypothecated September 2014 Collared Shares over Wahas delivery obligation, in each case, in respect of the applicable expired options, pursuant to the terms of the September 2014 Funded Collar Confirmation with such September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparty.


On August 15, 2019 (the Novation Date), Waha transferred by novation to its affiliate, Avia Holding Limited (Avia) each of the September 2014 Funded Collar Transactions pursuant to Novation and Security Release Deeds entered into by Waha and Avia with each September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparty (the Novation and Security Release Deeds). Following the Novation Date, Avia will be a party to each September 2014 Funded Collar Transaction as if it had entered into a new funded collar confirmation with each September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparty in form substantially identical to the September 2014 Funded Collar Confirmations. Further, on the Novation Date, Waha terminated its Collar Confirmation Sales Plan with each September 2014 Funded Collar Counetparty. The foregoing description of the Novation Documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Novation Documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 99.34 Exhibit 99.40 to this Schedule 13D.

Waha Capital, as the sole shareholder of each of Waha and Avia, may be deemed to beneficially own the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Waha and Avia. The number of Ordinary Shares beneficially held by the Reporting Persons represents 8.14% of the aggregate of 136,602,986 Ordinary Shares that the Reporting Persons understand to be issued and outstanding based on the number of Ordinary Shares that the Issuer reported were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2019 in its Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed on July 30, 2019.
