The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is Business Park Terre Bonne, Route de Crassier 13, 1262 Eysins, Switzerland.

Item 2.

IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

This Schedule 13D is being filed by Whitebox Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WA”), Whitebox General Partner LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WB GP”), Whitebox Relative Value Partners, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“WRP”), Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, LP, a Cayman Island limited partnership (“WMP”), Pandora Select Partners, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“PSP”), Whitebox GT Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“WGT”, and together with WA, WB GP, WRP, WMP and PSP, the “Reporting Persons”).

The principal business of WRP, WMP, PSP and WGT is investments. The agreement among the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The principal business address of each of WA, WB GP and WGT is 3033 Excelsior Boulevard, Suite 300, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416. The principal business address of each of WRP, WMP and PSP is Mourant Governance Services (Cayman) Limited, 94 Solaris Avenue, Camana Bay, PO Box 1348, Grand Cayman, KY1-1108, Cayman Islands.

The information required by General Instruction C to Schedule 13D is attached hereto as Schedule A and is hereby incorporated by reference.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any of the persons listed in Schedule A (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.

Item 3.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The source of funding for the purchase of the Issuer’s 4.75% Convertible Notes 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) was the general working capital of WRP, WMP, PSP and WGT. A total of $5 million in par value was paid to acquire the Convertible Notes reported herein.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Reporting Persons originally acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with the purpose nor with the effect of changing or influencing the control or management of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons entered into an agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, the “Transaction Support Agreement”), dated as of December 5, 2022, with (i) the Issuer, (ii) other holders of the Issuer’s outstanding senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and


CUSIP No. G73268149		Page 9 of 15

restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, representing all holders of the Senior Secured Notes and (iii) other holders of the Convertible Notes issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Convertible Notes Indenture” and together with the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee representing more than 99% of all holders of the Convertible Notes (such holders of the Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes, including, the Reporting Persons, collectively, the “Consenting Noteholders”), whereby the Consenting Noteholders have agreed to support a restructuring of the Issuer’s balance sheet, which is intended to be effectuated pursuant to a set of transactions to be commenced by the Issuer (collectively, the “Transactions”).

In connection with the Transactions, all of the Issuer’s outstanding equity securities (including its Ordinary Shares, preferred shares, options and warrants) are expected to be extinguished and cancelled for either nominal or no consideration (in accordance with Jersey law). Accordingly, the Issuer intends to initiate the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the NASDAQ Global Market as soon as practicable. The Transactions are intended to reduce the Issuer’s debt obligations and inject liquidity into the Issuer’s business as necessary to effectuate its strategy shift.

Under the Transaction Support Agreement, the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders have agreed to act in good faith to consummate the Transactions and have undertaken other customary commitments to one another. The Consenting Noteholders have also agreed to forbear from exercising, for so long as the Transaction Support Agreement is in full force and effect, any and all rights and remedies in contravention of the Transaction Support Agreement, which are or becomes available to them in respect of the Senior Secured Notes, the Convertible Notes or any other claims or interests in connection therewith.

The Transaction Support Agreement contains certain deadlines relating to the Transactions, which include deadlines (collectively, the “Milestones”) related to implementing the Transactions either through (i) the filing of a petition for relief under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in order to effect a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) that implements a fully consensual restructuring (the “Consensual Transaction”) or (ii) parallel creditor schemes of arrangements in England and Jersey (the “Fallback Scheme”), in each case as described in, and contemplated under, the Implementation Steps Memorandum attached to the Transaction Support Agreement as Exhibit B (the “Implementation Steps Memo”), as well as an outside date of May 1, 2023 for the consummation of a Consensual Transaction or Fallback Scheme (such date, the “Outside Date”). The Transaction Support Agreement provides that Requisite Consenting Noteholders (as defined below) can direct the Issuer to implement the Transactions via alternative implementation steps, subject to the Fiduciary Out (as defined below).

If the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) reasonably determines, after considering the advice of outside counsel, that taking certain actions, or refraining to take certain actions, is reasonably required for the Board to comply with its fiduciary duties (including if such actions would require expenditures in excess of the Issuer’s available liquidity), the Transaction Support Agreement provides that the Board may elect not to take, or refrain to take, such actions (such election, the “Fiduciary Out”). The Issuer may terminate the Transaction Support Agreement upon, among other circumstances, uncured material breaches of the Transaction Support Agreement by a Consenting Noteholder or a determination by the Board that termination is required pursuant to the Fiduciary Out.

The Consenting Noteholders have termination rights that may, as a general matter, be exercised by (i) holders of the Senior Secured Notes holding at least a majority of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes and (ii) holders of the Convertible Notes holding at least a majority of the outstanding Convertible Notes, and, in the case of both subsection (i) and (ii), each of the Specified Noteholders (each as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement) (the holders in (i) and (ii) together, “Requisite Consenting Noteholders”), which termination rights include, among other circumstances, exercise of the Fiduciary Out by the Issuer, material breaches of the Transaction Support Agreement by the Issuer and the failure of the Issuer to meet any Milestone.


CUSIP No. G73268149		Page 10 of 15

Under the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement:

•

The holders of the Senior Secured Notes have agreed to fund their commitment portion of $10 million of indebtedness (the “Bridge Notes”) to the Issuer by no later than December 13, 2022.

•

Each noteholder under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture has agreed to exchange (i) such notes held by it (other than the Bridge Notes) for newly issued senior secured debt at a discount, and (ii) its Bridge Notes for newly issued senior secured debt at face value.

•

Certain holders of Senior Secured Notes, including the Reporting Persons, have also agreed to purchase an aggregate of $13 million in new common equity at a 35% discount to a total equity value of $50 million (the “Agreed Equity Value”). In addition, each such Senior Secured Noteholder will receive its applicable share of an aggregate of $20 million in new common equity at the Agreed Equity Value.

•

The Consenting Holders who own Convertible Notes, including the Reporting Persons, have agreed that their Convertible Notes shall be extinguished for no value, other than for the purchase right set forth immediately below.

•

Such holders of Convertible Notes have agreed to purchase an aggregate of $28 million in new common equity at a 35% discount to the Agreed Equity Value. In addition, each such Convertible Noteholder will receive its applicable share of an aggregate of $30 million in new common equity at the Agreed Equity Value.

•

The newly issued senior secured debt will be secured by a first lien on substantially the same collateral and assets as were subject to liens under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. It will (i) mature 5 years (or, with the consent of holders of the Senior Secured Notes holding at least a majority of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes and each of the Specified Noteholders, 7 years) from the closing date and (ii) bear interest at a rate of 12% payable in kind for the first three years (or, with certain consent, two years) following the closing date, and thereafter payable in cash. The new senior secured debt will also provide for a mandatory repurchase with 100% of the net proceeds from certain sales, include covenants and events of default substantially similar to those existing under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, and be redeemable at a price of 103% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for the first 2 years after issuance, and at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest) thereafter.

•

All existing equity of the Issuer will be extinguished and cancelled for no consideration.

Each of the Transactions is on terms and conditions as set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement and the exhibits thereto. The Transaction Support Agreement contains certain representations, warranties and other agreements by the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders. The parties’ obligations thereunder are subject to various terms and conditions and termination provisions as set forth therein.
