This Amendment No. 8 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein; otherwise, all items or responses not described herein remain as previously reported in the Schedule 13D. While the Reporting Persons determined that they may be deemed a group pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the Reporting Persons expressly disclaim status as a “group” for purposes of the Schedule 13D.

Acorn Composite Corporation, Grand Crossing Trust, The Felicitas Trust and The Robert W. Roche 2009 Declaration of Trust intend to sell the securities described in Item 5 of this Amendment No. 8 for diversification purposes.

Other than the sale arrangements described in this Amendment No. 8, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the matters set forth in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The disclosure set forth under Item 5 of this Amendment No. 8 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following disclosure:

(a) – (c)  On May 10, 2016, Acorn Composite Corporation, Grand Crossing Trust, The Felicitas Trust and The Robert W. Roche 2009 Declaration of Trust entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Ritsuko Hattori-Roche, pursuant to which Ritsuko Hattori-Roche agreed to purchase an aggregate of 17,422,947 ordinary shares beneficially owned by the sellers, equal to about 19.44% of the equity of the Issuer, including (a) an aggregate of 12,052,976 ordinary shares and 50,072 American Depositary Shares (each of which represents 20 ordinary shares (“ADSs”), for a total of 1,001,440 ordinary shares underlying the 50,072 ADSs) held by Acorn Composite Corporation (of which Mr. Roche is the sole owner), (b) 1,846,291 ordinary shares held by The Grand Crossing Trust, (c) 83,791 ADSs (representing a total of 1,675,820 ordinary shares) held by The Felicitas Trust and (d) an aggregate of 42,321 ADSs (representing a total of 846,420 ordinary shares) held by The Robert W. Roche 2009 Declaration of Trust (of which Mr. Roche is the trustee).

The purchase is expected to be consummated on June 30, 2016, at a purchase price for each of the ordinary shares and ADSs equal to the fair market value thereof as of the purchase agreement date, as determined by an independent professional valuation firm.

The description of the Purchase and Sale Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Following the consummation of the sale, Ritsuko Hattori-Roche will beneficially own an aggregate of 38,967,937 ordinary shares, equal to about 43.48% of the equity of the Issuer, including (a) the 21,544,990 ordinary shares already owned by her, equal to about 24.04% of the equity of the Issuer, and (b) the 17,422,947 ordinary shares to be purchased by her, equal to about 19.44% of the equity of the Issuer. Ritsuko Hattori-Roche already beneficially owned an aggregate of 21,544,990 ordinary shares, equal to about 24.04% of the equity of the Issuer, including (a) 129,770 ordinary shares and 993,511 ADSs (representing a total of 19,870,220 ordinary shares) held directly by Bireme Limited, in which Ritsuko Hattori-Roche has an 87.7% interest (of which Ritsuko Hattori-Roche has sole voting and dispositive power over the 87.7% interest and shared voting and dispositive power over the remaining 12.3% interest) and (b) 77,250 ADSs (representing a total of 1,545,000 ordinary shares) held directly by Catalonia Holdings LTD, a limited company, formed under the laws of Jersey, which is wholly-owned by Parador Trust, a Jersey Trust, for which Ritsuko Hattori-Roche is the grantor, as to which Ritsuko Hattori-Roche has sole voting and dispositive power.

On November 30, 2015, the Issuer had changed the ratio of its American depositary shares (“ADSs”) to ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share from 1:3 to 1:20, pursuant to which the record holders of the Issuer’s ADS received 0.15 new ADSs for each ADS surrendered by them, which effected a 3-for-20 reverse ADS split.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Following the consummation of the sale, Robert W. Roche will not own of record any securities of the Issuer. His beneficial ownership arose through the ownership by Acorn Composite Corporation, of which Mr. Robert W. Roche is the sole owner, and The Robert W. Roche 2009 Declaration of Trust, of which Mr. Robert W. Roche is the trustee, both of which agreed to sell all of their shares to Ritsuko Hattori-Roche in the purchase transactions. Mr. Roche disclaims any beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer held by his spouse.

Following the consummation of the purchase transactions, Mr. Edward J. Roche, Jr. will remain a beneficial owner of 1,846,690 ordinary shares, representing about 2.06% of the outstanding equity of the Issuer, including (a) 94,930 ordinary shares, including 1,250 ordinary shares and 4,684 ADSs (representing a total of 93,680 ordinary shares), held directly by him and (b) 87,588 ADSs (representing a total of 1,751,760 ordinary shares) held by The Moore Bay Trust, for which Mr. Edward Roche is a trustee and exercises sole dispositive and voting power. Mr. Edward Roche's other beneficial ownership was through two trusts (The Grand Crossing Trust, for which Mr. Edward Roche is a co-trustee and exercises shared dispositive and voting power, and The Felicitas Trust, for which Mr. Edward Roche is a co-trustee and exercises shared dispositive and voting power), both of which are selling their positions in connection with the transactions.

Following the consummation of the purchase transactions, Mr. Joseph Cachey, Jr. will remain a beneficial owner of 1,975 ADSs (representing a total of 39,500 ordinary shares) held directly by him, representing about 0.04% of the outstanding equity of the Issuer. Mr. Cachey's other beneficial ownership was through two trusts (The Grand Crossing Trust, for which Mr. Cachey is a co-trustee and exercises shared dispositive and voting power, and The Felicitas Trust, for which Mr. Cachey is a co-trustee and exercises shared dispositive and voting power), both of which are selling their positions in connection with the transactions.

There can be no assurance that the transactions referred to above will be consummated when anticipated if at all. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, at any time and in each Reporting Person’s sole discretion, to take or refrain from taking any of the actions set forth above.

The disclosure set forth under Item 5 of this Amendment No. 8 is incorporated herein by reference.
