Purpose of Transaction

 

On May 5, 2022, the Issuer entered into an investment agreement with CK Opportunities Fund, which CK Opportunities Wolverine joined via an affiliate joinder agreement dated May 23, 2022 (collectively, the "Investment Agreement"), whereby CK Opportunities agreed to subscribe for and purchase (i) up to $45 million of Ordinary Shares, comprising 8,587,786 Ordinary Shares at a per share purchase price of $5.24, and (ii) up to $180 million of new registered series B preferred shares of the Issuer with a nominal value of CHF 0.01, each of which is convertible into Ordinary Shares (the "Series B Preferred Shares"), comprising 21,176,470 Series B Preferred Shares at a per share purchase price of $8.50, in one or more private transactions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. The Series B Preferred Shares have the same voting, dividend and other rights that apply to Ordinary Shares. In addition, an annual dividend of 5%, in the form of additional Series B Preferred Shares to be paid in-kind, will be payable on the Series B Preferred Shares, subject to shareholder approval and any applicable mandatory legal requirements. The Series B Preferred Shares also confer limited class voting rights.

 

The Series B Preferred Shares may be converted into Ordinary Shares (i) by the Issuer on or after the first anniversary of the closing of the Series B Preferred Shares or upon a change of control transaction, subject to certain conditions, or (ii) by CK Opportunities Wolverine at any time on or after six months following the initial closing of the Series B Preferred Shares on June 13, 2022, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), in whole or in part, into Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain customary anti-dilution adjustments. In addition, the Issuer may call all or a portion of the Series B Preferred Shares on and after the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Series B Preferred Shares or upon a change of control transaction, subject to certain conditions including CK Opportunities Wolverine's right to convert into Ordinary Shares instead.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, on June 13, 2022, CK Opportunities Wolverine subscribed for and acquired 8,587,786 Ordinary Shares at a per share purchase price of $5.24 and 21,176,470 Series B Preferred Shares at a per share purchase price of $8.50.

Other than as described above and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to review or reconsider their position, change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. As a result of these activities, one or more of the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management, or capital structure of the Issuer that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.

On June 13, 2022, the Issuer entered into a Conversion Agreement (the "Conversion Agreement") with, among others, CK Opportunities to govern the issuance and delivery of Ordinary Shares in exchange for Series B Preferred Shares from the holders of Series B Preferred Shares.
