Item 1. Security and Issuer
This
Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”), dated November 14,
2017, amends and supplements the original Schedule 13D filed by the
Reporting Person with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) on December 2, 2015, (the “Original
Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, par value
$0.001, (“common stock”) of Freedom Holding Corp.
(f/k/a BMB Munai, Inc.) (the “Issuer”) as amended and
supplemented by Schedule 13D/A-1 filed with the Commission on July
10, 2017, (“Amendment No. 1”) and Schedule 13D/A-2
filed with the Commission on September 18, 2017, (“Amendment
No. 2”). The Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 and
Amendment No. 2, are collectively referred to herein as the
“Schedule 13D.” Only those items hereby reported in
this Amendment No. 3 are amended and all other items remain
unchanged. Terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have
the meaning set forth in Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds
The
information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3
and the information set forth in Items 4, 5 and 6 hereof are
incorporated by reference herein and Item 3 of Schedule 13D is
hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
As
reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Issuer filed with
the Commission on November 6, 2017, on November 1, 2017, final
regulatory approval was received from the Cyprus Securities and
Exchange Commission to allow the Reporting Person to transfer his
100% equity interest in FFINEU Investments Limited (“Freedom
CY”) and the securities brokerage and financial services
business conducted by it in Cyprus to the Issuer. The closing of
the Freedom CY acquisition occurred on November 10, 2017 and
completes the transactions between the Reporting Person and the
Issuer contemplated in the Acquisition Agreement. The Reporting
Person was issued 12,758,011 shares of restricted common stock in
connection with the Freedom CY closing.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The
information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3
and the information set forth in Items 3, 5 and 6 hereof are
incorporated by reference herein and Item 4 of Schedule 13D is
hereby amended and supplemented as follows.
The
Issuer and the Reporting Person entered into the Acquisition
Agreement with the intent that the Issuer would acquire the
securities brokerage and financial services businesses operated by
certain companies owned by the Reporting Person. With the closing
of the Freedom CY acquisition, all of the transactions contemplated
by the Acquisition Agreement have been completed.
3
Historically, the
Reporting Person has contributed capital to the Issuer and its
subsidiaries. From time to time in the future the Issuer, including
its subsidiaries, may require additional operating capital
contributions to satisfy their operating and/or net capital
requirements. If the Reporting Person infuses additional capital
into the Issuer or its subsidiaries, he may be issued additional
shares of the Issuer in exchange for such capital contributions.
The Reporting Person has no agreement with the Issuer regarding
additional capital contributions and is under no obligation,
contractual or otherwise, to provide additional capital to the
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.
The
Reporting Person owns interests in other companies, including other
companies engaged in the securities brokerage and financial
services business. As deemed appropriate, the Issuer may seek to
acquire interests in one or more of these companies. It is possible
the Issuer could use shares of its common stock to make additional
acquisitions from the Reporting Person.
Except
as disclosed in this Amendment No. 3, the Reporting Person has no
present plans or proposals that would relate to or result in the
occurrence of any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs
(a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person
intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing
basis and may in the future engage in discussions with management,
the board of directors, other stockholders and other relevant
parties concerning the business, operations, board composition,
management, strategy and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on
various factors including, without limitation, the results of the
Issuer’s operations, the Issuer’s financial condition,
business strategy, price of the Issuer’s common stock,
conditions in the securities market, general economic and industry
conditions and his own personal financial condition, the Reporting
Person may in the future take such actions with respect to his
investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate including, without
limitation, purchasing additional shares or selling shares,
engaging in hedging, as allowed by law, or similar transactions
with respect to his shares, engaging in discussions with
management, the board of directors, other stockholders and other
relevant parties concerning the business, operations, board
composition, management, strategy and future performance of the
Issuer or taking other action to effect changes in the board
composition, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer,
encouraging the Issuer to pursue one or more strategic transactions
and/or otherwise changing his intention with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The
information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 3
and the information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 6 hereof are
incorporated by reference herein and Item 5 of the original
Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows:
(a)
As of the date
hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 42,405,112 shares,
