Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
This Amendment No. 1 relates to the purchase by IGP DILP of 261,287 Ordinary Shares from the Company (the “Company Issued Shares”) in the Investment as more fully described in Item 6. below, which discussion is incorporated by reference into this Item 3. On November 10, 2016, the Company held its 2016 Annual General Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) during which the acquisition by IGP DILP of the Company Issued Shares was duly approved by the requisite majorities of the Company’s shareholders under the Israeli Companies Law 5759-1999 (“Israeli Companies Law”). IGP DILP’s purchase of the Company Issued Shares closed on November 14, 2016.
The Initial Schedule 13D related to the purchase by IGP DILP of (i) 300,000 Ordinary Shares on September 26, 2016 in a private transaction from Robert B. Ashton (the “Ashton Shares”), and (ii) 740,000 Ordinary Shares on September 29, 2016 in a market transaction from Lloyd I. Miller (the “Miller Shares” and together with the Ashton Shares and the Company Issued Shares, the “Purchased Shares”).
The source of funds used in purchasing the Purchased Shares by IGP DILP was a short term equity bridge facility (each, a “Facility”) from IGP Investment, L.P. and IGP Investments (Parallel), L.P., investment fund affiliates (the “Affiliates”) of the Reporting Persons. Each Facility will be converted into capital contributions to IGP DILP of certain of the limited partners of the Affiliates within approximately three months, as soon as such limited partners contribute to the Affiliates called committed capital in an aggregate amount sufficient to cover the cost of the Purchased Shares. The cost to IGP DILP of the Ashton Shares was US $1,350,000, the cost of the Miller Shares was US $4,403,000 and the cost of the Company Issued Shares was US $1,371,757. The Ashton Shares were acquired by IGP DILP for cash pursuant to a share purchase agreement between IGP DILP and Mr. Robert B. Ashton (“Ashton”), on his own behalf and on behalf of Kinetic Catalyst Partners LLC which, to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, is controlled by Ashton, dated as of September 26, 2016, a copy of which was attached to the Initial Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.2. The Miller Shares were acquired by IGP DILP for cash in an open-market transaction. The Company Issued Shares were acquired by IGP DILP for cash pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (defined below).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Purchased Shares have been acquired by IGP DILP for investment purposes in the ordinary course of the business of the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other considerations, either in the open market or in private transactions, acquire additional Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Issuer, take other steps to enhance the value of their investment or dispose of some or all of the Purchased Shares, as permitted by the relevant securities laws.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) | The information relating to the beneficial ownership of the Purchased Shares by each of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages hereto is incorporated herein by reference. The percentages set forth in Row 13 for all cover pages filed herewith are calculated based upon (i) 4,192,409 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2016, plus (ii) the 261,287 Company Issued Shares purchased by IGP DILP on November 14, 2016. |
(b) | None of the Reporting Persons has sole voting or disposition power with respect to the Purchased Shares. Each of the Reporting Persons has shared voting and disposition power with respect to the Purchased Shares with Shani and Lichtman, each being a 50% owner of the voting capital stock of IGP LTD, sharing the ultimate voting and disposition power over the Purchased Shares. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
After acquiring the Purchased Shares, the Reporting Persons beneficially own approximately 29.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital.
On September 29, 2016, the Reporting Persons and the Company, signed a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), a copy of which was attached to the Initial Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.3, pursuant to which the Company, subject to the contingencies discussed below, agreed to issue and sell to IGP DILP 261,287 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the filing of the Initial Schedule 13D, September 30, 2016, at a price per share of $5.25, or approximately US $1.37 million in the aggregate, in a private placement (the “Investment”) in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
In order for IGP DILP to purchase the 261,287 Ordinary Shares from the Company pursuant to the Investment and thereby own, in the aggregate, taking into account the acquisition of the Purchased Shares, Ordinary Shares conveying in excess of 25% of the outstanding voting rights in the Company, approval of the Investment was required from the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the requirements of the Israeli Companies Law.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, so long as IGP DILP continues to hold a specified percentage of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital, the Reporting Persons will be entitled to nominate (and replace or remove, if applicable) up to two (2) members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), out of a total of no more than nine (9) Board members (including statutory external directors elected pursuant to the Israeli Companies Law requirements). Prior to the Company’s Annual Meeting, the Board consisted of six (6) members, and a proposal to increase their number to nine (9) was brought before the Company’s Annual Meeting for approval as described below and was approved. At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted to elect the Reporting Persons’ nominees - Mr. Haim Shani, to serve as a Class II director, and Mr. Assaf Harel, to serve as an unclassified director.
CUSIP No. M6185R101
The Reporting Persons are also entitled to certain information rights.
In addition to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and IGP DILP entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6, pursuant to which IGP DILP is entitled to certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights for the resale of its Ordinary Shares.
In order to support the Company’s undertaking to provide the above-described Board nomination rights, the Company obtained signed voting undertakings from certain existing Company shareholders holding just under 25%, in the aggregate, of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company. Forms of these voting undertakings were attached to the Initial Schedule 13D as Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5. Pursuant to the voting undertakings, these shareholders agreed to vote their Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Reporting Persons’ directions as related to those Board representation rights.
Consummation of the Investment was subject to customary closing conditions, as well as the approval of the Investment and related matters by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting.
