(the "Issuer") issued and outstanding as of June 14, 2024, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Forward Purchase Agreement filed by the Issuer on Form 6-K on June 17, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (the "Outstanding Share Count") plus (b) the "Issuable Shares" as defined under (ii)(b) immediately below, and (ii) a numerator based on (a) 8,000,931 Ordinary Shares held by the above Reporting Person plus (b) 16,012,708 Ordinary Shares (the "Issuable Shares") that would be issuable upon the conversion of $16,203,395 aggregate principal amount of the Issuer's Adjustable-Rate Convertible Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "Notes") issued to the above Reporting Person's wholly-owned subsidiary on July 5, 2024, pursuant to that certain indenture dated as of June 20, 2024 (the "Indenture"), by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, DB Trustees (Hong Kong) Limited, as collateral trustee and, solely with respect to the Philippine collateral, RCBC Trust Corporation, at the applicable conversion rate and conversion adjustment for the Conversion Consideration (as defined in the Indenture) as if the Notes were converted as of July 5, 2024.

 

²     It is expected, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, that investors unrelated to the Reporting Persons will acquire a significant percentage of the beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares following consummation of certain transactions disclosed by the Issuer in a Form 6-K on May 30, 2024 and another Form 6-K on June 17, 2024.  Once these transactions are consummated, it is expected that the beneficial ownership of each Reporting Person may be substantially diluted in the near future.  At the time any such dilution is publicly disclosed, the Reporting Persons expect to promptly amend this Schedule 13D.
