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, Waha 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. 23, 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). On the Novation Date, Avia 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 (the Avia Funded Collar Confirmations and together with the Novation and Security Release Deeds, the Novation Documents) and thus became a party to each September 2014 Funded Collar Transaction.

On September 9, 2019, Avia entered into a sales plan with Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (the DB Sales Plan) to sell the Ordinary Shares held by Avia in relation to the excess of the return obligation of the September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparty with respect to rehypothecated September 2014 Collared Shares over Avias delivery obligation. The foregoing description of the DB Sales Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full form of the DB Sales Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.41 of this Schedule 13D.

From the date of the most recent amendment to this Schedule 13D through September 9, 2019, the Reporting Persons disposed of 1,574,392 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the settlement of the Avia Funded Collar Confirmations. Details by date, listing the number of Ordinary Shares returned to the September 2014 Funded Collar Counterparties are provided below.
