Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 3 ("Amendment No. 3") to Schedule 13D supplements and amends the statement on Schedule 13D of GMS Ventures and Investments ("GMS Ventures") and Ghiath M. Sukhtian ("Sukhtian" and, together with GMS Ventures, the "Reporting Persons") originally filed with the SEC on July 7, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on December 29, 2022, and Amendment No. 2 thereto, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024 (together, as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"). Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 3, all items in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 3 to report certain changes in their beneficial ownership of Shares of the Issuer as result of GMS Ventures' execution of an Inducement Letter, as defined and described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. | ||
Item 2. | Identity and Background | |
(b) | The principal office address of GMS Ventures is c/o Maples Corporate Services Limited, P.O Box 309, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman KY1-1104, Cayman Islands. | |
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration | |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following after the last paragraph:
The source of funds for the exercise of GMS Ventures' Existing Warrants (as defined in Item 3 below) was the working capital of GMS Ventures and capital contributions made to GMS Ventures. | ||
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following after the last paragraph:
On January 16, 2025, the Issuer entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letter agreements (each an "Inducement Letter" and together, the "Inducement Letters") with certain holders, including GMS Ventures (each a "Holder" and collectively, the "Holders"), of existing warrants to purchase Shares (the "Existing Warrants") pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise their Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $2.51 per Share in exchange for the Issuer's agreement to issue two new warrants to purchase Shares for each Existing Warrant exercised (the "Inducement Warrants"). The transactions effected pursuant to the Inducement Letters closed on January 17, 2025.
The Inducement Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $2.26 per Share and are only exercisable for cash, except in limited circumstances. Half of the Inducement Warrants (the "Tranche A Inducement Warrants") are exercisable immediately and have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The remaining Inducement Warrants (the "Tranche B Inducement Warrants") will be exercisable upon the effective date (the "Amendment Effective Date") of an amendment to the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized Shares issuable thereunder. The Tranche B Inducement Warrants will have a term of five years from the Amendment Effective Date.
Pursuant to the terms of the Inducement Letter by and between the Issuer and GMS Ventures, GMS Ventures exercised 3,458,571 Existing Warrants at an exercise price per Share of $2.51 in return for receipt of 3,458,571 Tranche A Inducement Warrants and 3,458,571 Tranche B Inducement Warrants. | ||
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
(a) | The following disclosure is based upon 24,905,635 outstanding Shares of the Issuer, as set forth in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-Q for the year ending September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC on December 27, 2024, plus 3,458,571 Shares underlying Tranche A Inducement Warrants and 3,458,571 Shares underlying Tranche B Inducement Warrants.
As of the date hereof, GMS Ventures directly owns 5,808,074 Shares and 6,917,142 warrants to purchase Shares, representing a total of 12,725,216 Shares beneficially owned by GMS Ventures. This represents approximately 38.6% of the outstanding Shares, calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act.
Sukhtian is the holder of a controlling interest in GMS Holdings, which is the sole owner of GMS Ventures. By virtue of such relationship, Sukhtian may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by GMS Ventures for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act. This represents approximately 38.6% of the outstanding Shares calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act. | |

2. Shared power to vote or direct vote: 12,725,216
