ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
In August 2015, SVP IX entered into a Class C subscription agreement agreement pursuant to which SVP IX acquired from the Issuer an aggregate 1,275,894 Class C preferred shares for a purchase price of €6.66 per share, or €8,497,454.04 in the aggregate. The Class C preferred shares accrued stock dividends payable in kind upon the conversion of the preferred shares into common shares at a rate of 8% per annum accruing from the date of issuance.
On May 6, 2016, the Issuer effected a 1-for-1.8 reverse stock split of the issued common and preferred shares. Following the reverse stock split, SVP IX held 708,830 Class C preferred shares.
The Class C preferred shares converted into Common Shares at a conversion ratio of one Common Share for every one Class C preferred share immediately prior to the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering of Common Shares (“Offering”). Accordingly, in connection with the closing of the Offering, the Class C preferred stock automatically converted into 708,830 Common Shares. The aggregate amount of stock dividends that accrued through the closing of the Offering from the Class C preferred shares held by SVP IX was 42,573 Common Shares, all of which were issued to SVP IX in connection with the conversion of Class C preferred shares into Common Shares in the Offering.
| CUSIP NO. N5749R100 | 13D | Page 8 of 13 |
In connection with the Offering, SVP IX purchased 650,000 Common Shares at $10.00 per share, or $6,500,000 in the aggregate. Such purchase occurred pursuant to and on the terms set forth in the Issuer’s Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on May 18, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Prospectus”).
Unless noted above, the source of the funds for all purchases and acquisitions by the Reporting Persons was from working capital.

Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the Common Shares, general market and economic conditions, ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities, and other future developments. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 above, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transaction in the securities of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
(d) Under certain circumstances set forth in the limited partnership agreement of SVP IX, the general partner and limited partners of SVP IX may be deemed to have the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from, the sale of shares of the Issuer owned by such entity of which they are a partner.
