CUSIP No. 63008G203
The following constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 3”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 3 | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
The Shares purchased by Nomis Bay were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 4,402,718 Shares beneficially owned by Nomis Bay is approximately $12,976,980, including brokerage commissions.
The Shares purchased by BPY were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 2,935,146 Shares beneficially owned by BPY is approximately $8,650,646, including brokerage commissions.
The Shares held in the Managed Positions were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business). The aggregate purchase price of the 7,337,864 Shares held in the Managed Positions is approximately $21,627,482, including brokerage commissions.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
As previously disclosed, certain of the Reporting Persons (the “Proposing Shareholders”) convened a special general meeting of shareholders of the Issuer, which was held on March 20, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, a majority of the Issuer’s shareholders in attendance voted in favor of the Proposing Shareholders’ proposals to (i) amend certain provisions of the Issuer’s Articles of Association, (ii) remove four incumbent members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Yoav Stern, and (iii) appoint two director nominees, Kenneth H. Traub and Dr. Joshua Rosensweig, as directors of the Issuer. Although the Proposing Shareholders believe that the Special Meeting was valid, including that Messrs. Traub and Rosensweig were duly elected to the Board at the Special Meeting, the Issuer is challenging the validity of the Special Meeting in Israeli court, which the Proposing Shareholders are vigorously defending. Most recently, the Israeli court issued an order stating that Messrs. Traub and Rosensweig shall serve as non-voting observers on the Board during the pendency of the litigation.
In addition to the Israeli litigation, on March 27, 2023, the Issuer filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Issuer Complaint”) against certain of the Reporting Persons and certain other third parties (collectively, the “Defendants”). The following description of the Issuer Complaint is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Issuer Complaint, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Issuer Complaint alleges, among other things, (i) violations of the reporting requirements of Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), (ii) breach of contract with respect to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated April 15, 2019, (iii) tortious interference with certain of the Issuer’s business relations, and (iv) unjust enrichment. The gravamen of the Issuer Complaint is that Defendants failed to disclose that they formed a “group” as defined under Section 13(d) of the Act and seeks permanent injunctive relief and damages. The Reporting Persons believe the allegations set forth in the Issuer Complaint are without merit and intend to defend themselves vigorously.
10 |
CUSIP No. 63008G203
On April 24, 2023, the Issuer filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking an order enjoining Defendants from (i) purchasing or selling ADSs until at least 6 weeks after “they file an accurate Schedule 13D disclosing their group ownership and coordination”; and (ii) exercising shareholder rights, including by casting votes in connection with a shareholder meeting until at least 6 weeks after they file an accurate Schedule 13D disclosing their alleged group ownership and coordination, and voiding the votes Defendants cast at the Special Meeting in March 2023. In addition, the Issuer sought expedited discovery. On April 28, 2023, Defendants opposed the request for expedited discovery on multiple grounds, including that the Issuer had not brought its motion promptly; the Issuer had not shown a likelihood of success on the merits; and the discovery sought was over broad. On May 2, 2023, the Court held a status conference at which the Court (i) denied the motion for expedited discovery, and (ii) set the date for hearing oral argument on the motion, as well as on motions to dismiss, as June 12, 2023.
On May 1, 2023, certain of the Reporting Persons (the “Reporting Person Plaintiffs”) filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Reporting Person Complaint”) against the Issuer and certain other third parties, including Mr. Stern (the “Issuer Defendants”). The following description of the Reporting Person Complaint is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reporting Person Complaint, which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Person Complaint seeks to recover the Reporting Person Plaintiffs’ costs and attorneys fees and punitive damages arising from the Issuer Complaint pursuant to New York Civil Rights Law §§ 70-a and 76-a. As set forth in the Reporting Person Complaint, the Reporting Person Plaintiffs believe the Issuer Defendants filed the Issuer Complaint in an effort to silence the Reporting Person Plaintiffs’ criticism of their efforts to effectuate change on the Board. Specifically, the Reporting Person Plaintiffs communications with the Issuer’s shareholders and public disclosures relating to those communications and the Special Meeting constitute “action involving public petition and participation” under N.Y. Civil Rights Law 76-a, as they involve a communication in a place open to the public or a public forum in connection with an issue of public interest as well as lawful conduct in furtherance of the exercise of the constitutional right of free speech in connection with an issue of public interest.
Item 5. | Interest in the Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5 (a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 253,205,493 Shares outstanding, as of March 28, 2023, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2023.
