Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The source of funds for the acquisition of such interests is working capital.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The purpose of the acquisition of the CFDs is for investment, consistent with other investments made by the Reporting Person in the sector in which it operates. Depending on market conditions, including by reference to available volume and price volatility, as well as other factors, the Reporting Person may take such further actions with respect to the Shares of the Issuer as it deems appropriate. This may include, but is not limited to, purchasing additional interests in the Shares, selling some or all of its interests in the Shares, engaging in any other transactions with respect to the Shares (in all cases whether directly or indirectly) and/or making proposals to the Issuer with respect to changes to the assets, business operations, capitalization or corporate structure of the Issuer. The Reporting Person does not expect to amend the Schedule 13D with respect to any such potential actions, unless and until such time as required by applicable law.

(a) The Reporting Person has an indirect economic interest in 3,191,441 Shares, representing a 7.87% economic interest in the Shares. Such interest is held through the CFDs with ETX Capital listed in paragraph (c) of this Item 5.

(b) Pursuant to the CFDs, the Reporting Person does not have the power to vote or direct the vote, or power to dispose or direct the disposition, of any of the Shares and, accordingly, beneficial ownership is disclaimed pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

(c) The following table lists each of the purchases and sales by the Reporting Person of CFDs in respect of the Shares during the past 60 days. Each of these CFDs were entered into with ETX Capital and provide that the parties will exchange the difference in the value of the Shares at the time at which the contract is agreed and the time at which it is closed.
