SCHEDULE 13D/A
Introductory Note
This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 9, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 9, 2020 and Amendment No. 2 filed on May 21, 2020 (together, the “Original Schedule 13D”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
This Amendment No. 3 is being filed in relation to (i) the entry into the Second Citi Supplemental Confirmation by QH Hungary and Citibank, pursuant to which QH Hungary and Citibank entered into the Second Citi PVF Transaction, and the pledge of additional 25,000 Shares (525,000 Shares, in the aggregate) by QH Hungary to secure its obligations under the Citi Master Confirmation, as supplemented by the First Citi Supplemental Confirmation and the Second Citi Supplemental Confirmation, and (ii) the entry into the RBC Master Confirmation and the RBC Supplemental Confirmation, pursuant to which QH Hungary and RBC entered into the RBC PVF Transaction, and the pledge of 175,000 Shares by QH Hungary to secure its obligations under the RBC Master Confirmation, as supplemented by the RBC Supplemental Confirmation.

Pursuant to each transaction, QH Hungary has the option to settle its obligations at the end of the applicable contract by either delivering up to 175,000 Shares to Citibank or RBC, as applicable, as described in more details in Item 6 below or the cash equivalent thereof.
This Amendment No. 3 is filed jointly by the Reporting Persons. All disclosure for items contained in the Original Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference, subject to the amended and additional information provided for such item in this Amendment No. 3. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.
Certain defined terms and references in the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended as below:

This Amendment No. 3 relates to the entry into the Second Citi Supplemental Confirmation, the RBC Master Confirmation and the RBC Supplemental Confirmation by QH Hungary.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) – (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No.3 is incorporated herein by reference. The Shares reported on this Amendment No.3 are held by the Reporting Persons. QH Hungary is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gulf Hungary, which is owned by Gulf Houghton, which is a subsidiary of Gulf Oil International. Gulf Oil International is owned by Amas Holding SPF (“Amas Holding”), a private wealth holding company, which in turn is beneficially owned by multiple members of the Hinduja family, with no single individual having a beneficial interest in Amas Holding of 5% or more. Based upon 17,758,645 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2020, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020, the Shares owned by the Reporting Persons constitutes approximately 24.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.
2 |
Except for the Shares owned by the Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons listed in Item 2(a)-(c) hereto beneficially owns any other securities of the Issuer.
(c) Except as described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 6, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person listed in Item 2(a)-(c), have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) Except as described in Item 3, Item 4 and Item 6, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities covered by this Amendment No.3.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:
The information contained in Item 3 and 4 of the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment No. 3, is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
On May 26, 2020, QH Hungary entered into (i) the Second Citi Supplemental Confirmation with Citibank, pursuant to which QH Hungary and Citibank entered into the Second Citi PVF Transaction, and (ii) the RBC Master Confirmation and the RBC Supplemental Confirmation with RBC, pursuant to which QH Hungary and RBC entered into the RBC PVF Transaction.
The Second Citi PVF Transaction and the RBC PVF transaction are each divided into 16 components (each a “Component”). For each Component, QH Hungary is obligated to deliver to the applicable bank, on the settlement date (the “Settlement Date”) determined based on the specified scheduled valuation date within the period from May 20, 2022 to June 13, 2022, either, at QH Hungary's option, (i) up to 10,938 Shares (or 10,937 Shares for the last eight Settlement Dates) (such Share number, “Subject Number”) based on the average market price of the Shares determined as described below or (ii) an amount of cash equivalent to the value of such Shares. In exchange for assuming the obligation under the Second Citi PVF Transaction and the RBC PVF Transaction, QH Hungary received an upfront cash prepayment of $23,825,731.45 from Citibank and RBC, respectively. The number of Shares (or the cash equivalent) to be delivered to the applicable bank on each Settlement Date is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price per Share on the relevant valuation date, as reasonably determined by the applicable bank by reference to the Bloomberg Page “KWR <equity> AQR <Go>” (or any successor page thereto) (provided that, if such price is not so reported for any reason or is, in the applicable bank’s reasonable discretion, erroneous, a price determined by the applicable bank in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner) (the “Settlement Price”) is equal to or less than $158.00 per Share (the “Forward Floor Price”), QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank the Subject Number of Shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is between the Forward Floor Price and $189.25 per Share (the “Forward Cap Price”), QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank a number of Shares equal to the Subject Number multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Forward Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Cap Price, QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the Subject Number and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Forward Floor Price and (y) the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.
On May 26, 2020, QH Hungary (i) pledged an additional 25,000 Shares to Citibank in connection with the Second Citi PVF Transaction and (ii) entered into the RBC PVF Security Agreement with RBC, pursuant to which 175,000 Shares were pledged to RBC and held at the RBC PVF Custodian to secure QH Hungary's obligations under the RBC Master Confirmation, as amended and supplemented from time to time by supplemental confirmations thereto, including the RBC Supplemental Confirmation.
