Explanatory Note.

This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2019 (the “Original Schedule 13D”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment is being filed to amend and supplement Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The description of the Secondary Offering included in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

Secondary Offering

On November 18, 2021, in connection with a registered secondary public offering (the “Secondary Offering”) of Common Stock, INEOS entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Issuer, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule II thereto (the “Underwriters”), and the other selling stockholders listed on Schedule I thereto.  Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, INEOS agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase from INEOS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, 2,775,034 shares of Common Stock at a price of $9.12 per share.  INEOS and the other selling stockholders also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option (the “Over-allotment Option”) to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of Common Stock at a price of $9.12 per share.  The Underwriters and INEOS completed the Secondary Offering and the sale of 2,775,034 shares of Common Stock to the Underwriters on November 23, 2021.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is incorporated by reference to Item 7.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a) The percentage of the Issuer’s shares of Common Stock held is based on a statement of the Issuer in the prospectus supplement filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 16, 2021 that there were 137,059,709 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2021.  As of the close of business on November 23, 2021, INEOS beneficially owned 25,147,640 shares of Common Stock, which constituted approximately 18.3% of the Common Stock outstanding.  James A. Ratcliffe, as the majority owner of INEOS Limited, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of, and to have the power to vote and dispose of, the 25,147,640 shares of Common Stock held by INEOS.  Neither the filing of this Statement on Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Mr. Ratcliffe that he is the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

(b) For each person listed, the following table indicates the number of shares of Common Stock as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition:

 

 

(c) Except for the Underwriting Agreement, and the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, none of INEOS, Mr. Ratcliffe or, to the knowledge of either INEOS or Mr. Ratcliffe, any person named on Exhibit A to the Original Schedule 13D has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Exhibit 99.1 Power of Attorney.

The Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 1.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 23, 2021.
