Schedule 13D

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This report on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (“JFG”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies” and together with JFG, the “Reporting Persons”) relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Osiris Acquisition Corp. (the “Issuer”).

 

JFG and Jefferies Group LLC (“Jefferies Group”) initially filed a report on Schedule 13G on May 27, 2021 reflecting their acquisition of the Class A Common Stock on May 14, 2021 (the “Initial Schedule 13G”). JFG and Jefferies Group made such filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as they acquired (through Jefferies Group’s direct acquisition) the Class A Common Stock in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer. On November 1, 2022, JFG, together with certain of its subsidiaries, including Jefferies Group, consummated several internal reorganization transactions, including the following: (i) the merger of the Jefferies Group with and into Jefferies MergerSub Inc., a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of JFG, with Jefferies MergerSub Inc. surviving and assuming all of the assets and liabilities of Jefferies Group; and (ii) the merger of Jefferies MergerSub Inc. with and into JFG, with JFG surviving and assuming all of the assets and liabilities of Jefferies Group and MergerSub by operation of law.

 

On December 30, 2022, the Issuer completed the redemption of 19,896,459 shares of Common Stock (the “Redemption”). No shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were redeemed. Thus, as of December 30, 2022 and the date of this filing, the number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is the same as that reported in the Initial Schedule 13G: the Reporting Persons continue to beneficially own 2,277,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock. However, solely as a result of the reduced number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding following the Redemption, the Reporting Persons may be deemed as of December 30, 2022 and the date of this filing to beneficially own 73.4% of the Class A Common Stock outstanding (based on 3,103,541 shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding as of December 30, 2022 following the Redemption, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 30, 2022 (the “Form 8-K”)).

 

The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D because, as a result of the Redemption, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 20% or more of the Common Stock and therefore ineligible to file pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c). Although they are filing a Schedule 13D as a technical matter due to loss of eligibility to file under Schedule 13G, the Reporting Persons continue to hold all shares of Class A Common Stock in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, insofar as (i) they cannot participate in the election of directors (as they do not own any shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Class B Common Stock”)) and (ii) with respect to other matters, their voting power is 25.7% (based on the 5,750,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of December 30, 2022 as reported in the Form 8-K).

(e)

Except as set forth herein, during the last five years, the Reporting Persons have not been a party, and to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Covered Persons has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction such that, as a result of such proceeding, such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. On September 27, 2022, the SEC entered into a settlement order with Jefferies settling an administrative action in connection with the broker-dealer off-channel communications initiative, concerning Jefferies’ failure to do the following: (1) maintain and preserve communications by personal text messages and other text messaging platforms related to the business of the broker-dealer operated by Jefferies, in willful violation of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4(b)(4) thereunder; and (2) reasonably supervise its employees with a view to preventing or detecting certain of its employees’ aiding and abetting violations of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4(b)(4) thereunder, within the meaning of Section 15(b)(4)(e) of the Exchange Act. Jefferies agreed to do the following: (A) cease and desist from committing or causing any violations or any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4 thereunder; (B) be censured; (C) pay a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $50,000,000; and (D) comply with certain undertakings related to retention of electronic communications. On September 27, 2022, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) entered into a settlement order with Jefferies and Jefferies Financial Services Inc. (“JFSI” and collectively with Jefferies, the “CFTC Action Respondents”) settling an administrative action concerning the following: (A) JFSI’s failure to maintain required records in violation of Sections 4s(f)(1)(C) and 4s(g)(1) and (3) of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) and Regulations 23.201(a) and 23.202(a)(1) and (b)(1); (B) Jefferies’ failure to keep required record in violation of Section 4(g) of the CEA and Regulation 1.35; (C) the CFTC Action Respondents’ failure to keep records in the required manner in violation of Regulation 1.31; (D) JFSI’s failure to supervise diligently in violation of Sections 4s(h)(1)(B) of the CEA and Regulation 23.602(a); and (E) Jefferies’ failure to diligently supervise in violation of Regulation 166.3. The CFTC Action Respondents agreed to: (A) the entry of the CFTC’s findings; (B) have JFSI cease and desist from violating sections 4s(f)(1)(C), 4s(g)(1) and (3), and 4s(h)(1)(B) of the CEA, and Regulations 1.31, 23.201(a), 23.202(a)(1) and (b)(1) and 23.602(a) and Jefferies to cease and desist from violating Section 4g of the CEA and Regulations 1.31, 1.35, and 166.3; (C) pay a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $30,000,000; and (D) comply with certain conditions and undertakings. On September 13, 2022, Jefferies entered into an offer of settlement with the SEC, and the SEC issued an order, regarding Jefferies’ failure to comply with certain disclosure requirements when participating as an underwriter in certain primary offerings of municipal securities. Specifically, from October 2017 to November 2020, Jefferies acted as sole underwriter for certain offerings of municipal securities where it sought to rely on the limited offering exemptions provided in Exchange Act Rule 15c2-12(d)(1)(i), but did not actually satisfy the exemption requirements, nor did it maintain adequate policies and procedures relating to the exemption. As a result, without admitting or denying the findings, Jefferies consented to the entry of the order that finds Jefferies willfully violated Exchange Act Rule 15c2-12 and Municipal Securities Regulatory Board (“MSRB”) Rule G-27. Jefferies agreed to: (A) cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 15B(c)(1) of the Exchange Act, Exchange Act Rule 15c2-12, and MSRB Rule G-27; (B) be censured; (C) pay disgorgement of $38,008.67 and prejudgment interest of $5,206.55 to the SEC; and (D) pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $100,000. On December 9, 2019, Jefferies entered into a settlement order to settle charges of improper handling with respect to pre-released American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Specifically, from at least April 2012 until approximately December 2014, Jefferies improperly borrowed pre-released ADRs from other brokers when Jefferies should have known that those brokers did not own the foreign shares needed to support those ADRs in violation of Section 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The order also finds that Jefferies failed reasonably to supervise its associated persons within the meaning of Section 15(b)(4)(e) of the Exchange Act. Jefferies agreed to do the following: (A) be censured; (B) pay disgorgement of $2,275,609 and prejudgment interest of $468,346; and (C) pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $1,251,584.95.

(f)

The place of organization of JFG and Jefferies, and the citizenship or place of organization, as applicable, of each of the Covered Persons is set forth in Item 2(a) above.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Jefferies acquired 2,277,000 units of the Issuer, each unit consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Units”), in the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) for an aggregate purchase price of $22,770,000 using its own capital.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

To the extent required by Item 4, the information contained in Items 3 above and Item 6 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Jefferies, a wholly owned direct subsidiary of JFG, is a dually-registered broker-dealer and futures commission merchant. Jefferies also served as the underwriter of the Issuer’s IPO. The other shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Units purchased by Jefferies for resale to the public as an underwriter in the IPO pursuant to the underwriting agreement were not deemed beneficially owned under Section 13(d) as they were not held for more than 40 days pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(4).

 

Jefferies acquired the 2,277,000 Units for its own account in connection with its efforts to make a market in the Units in connection with the Issuer’s IPO.

 

Jefferies acquired, and both Jefferies and JFG continue to hold, all of such Units, including the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock, in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, insofar as (i) they cannot participate in the election of directors (as they do not own any shares of Class B Common Stock) and (ii) with respect to other matters, their voting power is 25.7%, based on the 5,750,000 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of December 30, 2022, as reported in the Form 8-K.

 

The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, take such actions regarding their investment as they deem appropriate. These actions may include: (i) acquiring additional Class A Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities or derivative or other instruments of the Issuer that are based upon or relate to the value of Class A Common Stock (collectively, “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise, including in connection with business development transactions or financing commitments in relation thereto; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. In determining whether to carry out any of the above-mentioned actions, the Reporting Persons may consider factors such as the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Issuer’s board of directors, price levels of the Class A Common Stock, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions. The Reporting Persons do not have current plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or reconsider its position with respect to the Issuer and reserve the right to develop such plans or proposals.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) Reporting Persons

 

Jefferies is the direct beneficial owner of 2,277,000 shares, or 73.4%, of the Class A Common Stock. JFG may be deemed an indirect beneficial owner of the shares of Class A Common Stock directly beneficially owned by Jefferies. The Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership excludes 1,138,500 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants of the Issuer, which are not currently exercisable pursuant to their terms, as described in Item 6.

 

Covered Persons

 

No Covered Persons beneficially own shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

All share percentage calculations in this Schedule 13D are based on 3,103,541 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Form 8-K.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

To the extent required by Item 6, the information contained in Items 3 and 4 above is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Jefferies acquired 2,277,000 Units of the Issuer, each Unit consisting of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments.

 

The warrants have been issued in registered form under a warrant agreement, dated May 13, 2021, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Issuer (the “Warrant Agreement”). Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, each whole warrant is exercisable at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination and will expire five years after the completion of the Issuer’s initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

 

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Issuer may call the warrants for redemption: (i) in whole and not in part; (ii) at a price of  $0.01 per warrant; (iii) upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period, to each warrant holder; and (iv) if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Issuer sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

The foregoing description of the Warrant Agreement and the warrants does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.01 and which is incorporated herein by reference.
