* Beneficial ownership is disclaimed for both Section 13(d) and Section 16(a) purposes as interests are economic interests held through contracts for differences, the terms of which do not confer voting rights or dispositive power.
The following constitutes Amendment No. 7 (“Amendment No. 7”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned on January 5, 2016 as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on January 13, 2016, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on January 21, 2016, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on August 11, 2016, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on August 23, 2016, Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on November 15, 2016 and Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on January 17, 2017 (the “Schedule 13D”). This Amendment No. 7 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) The Reporting Person has an indirect economic interest in 5,701,701 Shares, representing an 10.16% economic interest in the Shares. Such interest is held through the CFDs with Monecor (London) Limited, trading as ETX Capital, (“ETX Capital”) listed in paragraph (c) of this Item 5.
(b) Pursuant to the CFDs, the Reporting Person does not have the power to vote or direct the vote, or power to dispose or direct the disposition, of any of the Shares and, accordingly, beneficial ownership is disclaimed pursuant to Rules 13d-4 and 16a-1(a)(4) for Section 13(d) and Section 16(a) purposes.
(c) The following table lists each of the purchases and sales by the Reporting Person of CFDs in respect of the Shares during the past 60 days. Each of these CFDs were entered into with ETX Capital and provide that the parties will exchange the difference in the value of the Shares at the time at which the contract is agreed and the time at which it is closed. There were no other transactions effected by the Reporting Person in the Shares or other indirect interests in the Shares during this period.
