This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 15, 2022 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Ordinary Shares. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Schedule A to the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to replace Robert Riepe with Muqu Karim as Chief Financial Officer of Whitebox Advisers LLC.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As previously disclosed, on December 5, 2022, the Reporting Persons entered into a transaction support agreement with the Issuer and the other Consenting Noteholders (the “Original TSA”). The Transaction Support Agreement was amended and restated on January 9, 2023 (the “A&R TSA”) to update and modify certain steps effectuating the transactions pursuant to which the Issuer will undergo a comprehensive restructuring of its balance sheet (collectively, the “Transactions”) remove references to the potential creditor schemes of arrangement in England, enhance the diligence available for the benefit of the consenting noteholders, provide for automatic termination (rather than termination only after receipt of written notice) upon certain events, and reduce the threshold of approval necessary to extend certain milestones set forth in the A&R TSA. The A&R TSA is otherwise substantially the same as the Original TSA.

In accordance with the terms of the A&R TSA, on January 9, 2023, Whitebox Relative Value Partners, LP, Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, LP, Pandora Select Partners L.P., and Whitebox GT Fund, LP entered into an omnibus transaction agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, the “Omnibus Transaction Agreement”) with (i) Quotient Holdings Newco, LP (“Newco”), (ii) Quotient Holdings Finance Company Limited (“Finance Co”), (iii) Quotient Holdings Merger Company Limited (“Merger Co”), (iv) the Issuer and (v) the other holders of the Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Omnibus Transaction Agreement, on January 9, 2023 the Issuer issued additional Convertible Notes to Whitebox Relative Value Partners, LP, Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, LP, Pandora Select Partners L.P., and Whitebox GT Fund, LP with a principal amount of $118,750.00 in satisfaction of accrued interest on the Convertible Notes that was due and payable on November 15, 2022, and Whitebox Relative Value Partners, LP, Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, LP, Pandora Select Partners L.P., and Whitebox GT Fund, LP transferred $118,750 of Convertible Notes, and other holders of Convertible Notes transferred an aggregate of $2,375,000.00 Convertible Notes, to Newco in exchange for equity purchase rights of Newco. The Omnibus Transaction Agreement also provided that certain Convertible Notes were then transferred from NewCo to Finance Co. in exchange for equity of Finance Co., from Finance Co. to Merger Co in exchange for equity of Merger Co. and then from Finance Co. and Merger Co. to the Issuer in exchange for preferred stock of the Issuer.


CUSIP No. G73268149				Page 9 of 11

On January 10, 2023, in accordance with the A&R TSA, the Issuer filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On February 15, 2023 the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Issuer’s plan of reorganization (the “Bankruptcy Plan”) and on February 16, 2023, and in accordance with the terms of the Bankruptcy Plan, the Issuer, Newco, Finance Co., Quotient Holdings GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Newco (the “GP”), Merger Co, each direct and indirect subsidiary of the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Master Transaction Agreement”), and the Issuer, Newco and Finance Co entered into a Business and Asset Transfer Agreement (the “BTA”), and the Issuer effected the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement and the BTA, emerged from bankruptcy protection, and the Bankruptcy Plan went effective.

Pursuant to the A&R TSA, Bankruptcy Plan, the Master Transaction Agreement and the BTA, on February 16, 2023, a series of transactions occurred which resulted in the Convertible Notes and Senior Secured Notes being extinguished, the Issuer issuing 13,020,000 Ordinary Shares to Finance Co and 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares to Merger Co, resulting in Newco indirectly owning approximately 81% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer, and all of the subsidiaries of the Issuer becoming indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newco. The limited partnership interests in Newco are held by certain of the Consenting Noteholders. The A&R TSA, Bankruptcy Plan, and Master Transaction Agreement further provide that as soon as practicable following the effective date, the Issuer, Finance Co. and Merger Co will enter into a merger agreement that will result in the Issuer becoming a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Newco (the “Merger”). The Master Transaction Agreement provides that the parties thereto will cooperate as reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger as soon as possible. Upon completion of the Merger, the Issuer is expected to terminate the registration of its equity securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Whitebox Advisors LLC, Whitebox General Partner LLC, Whitebox Relative Value Partners, LP, Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, LP, Pandora Select Partners L.P., and Whitebox GT Fund, LP do not have the ability, directly or indirectly, to direct the voting or disposition of Ordinary Shares held by Newco.

Following the consummation of the transactions that occurred on February 16, 2023, any “group” that may be deemed to have existed between the Reporting Persons and other Consenting Noteholders has been terminated.

The foregoing descriptions of the A&R TSA, the Omnibus Transaction Agreement, the Master Transaction Agreement and the BTA are summaries only, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R TSA (including the exhibits thereto), Omnibus Transaction Agreement, the Master Transaction Agreement and the BTA, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
