The address of the principal business office of GEO and each Control Entity is New Enterprise Associates, 1954 Greenspring Drive, Suite 600, Timonium, MD 21093.  The address of the principal business office of each of Barrett, Barris, Florence, Kerins, Mott and Weller is New Enterprise Associates, 5425 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 800, Chevy Chase, MD 20815.  The address of the principal business office of Baskett, Kolluri, Sandell, Sonsini and Viswanathan is New Enterprise Associates, 2855 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, California 94025.

The principal business of GEO and NEA 14 is to invest in and assist growth-oriented businesses located principally in the United States.  The principal business of NEA Partners 14 is to act as the sole general partner of NEA 14.  The principal business of NEA 14 LTD is to act as the sole general partner of NEA Partners 14.  The principal business of each of the Directors is to manage the Control Entities, GEO and a number of affiliated partnerships with similar businesses.

During the five years prior to the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding or has been a party to a civil proceeding ending in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On October 15, 2015, the Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Issuer (File No.333-206654) in connection with its initial public offering of 2,500,000 shares of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the "IPO") was declared effective.  The closing of the IPO took place on October 21, 2015 and at such closing GEO purchased an aggregate of 550,000 shares of Ordinary Shares at the IPO price of $10.00 per share from the Issuer.  Prior to the IPO, GEO purchased from the Issuer in a series of private transactions depositary receipts which represented beneficial interests equal to 1,591,308 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer ("Depositary Receipts") for an aggregate purchase price of $10,747,320.08.  Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the Depositary Receipts held by GEO automatically converted into 1,591,308 shares of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.  GEO now holds a total of 2,141,308 shares of the Issuer's Ordinary Shares (the "Securities").1



1 This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D does not reflect a change in the number of shares beneficially owned, but rather is being filed to correct a clerical error in the Reporting Persons originally reported as owning the shares.
CUSIP No. G85347105 13D Page 18 of 25 Pages
 
 
 
The working capital of GEO was the source of the funds for the purchase of the Securities.  No part of the purchase price of the Securities was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the Securities.

 
Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

GEO acquired the Securities for investment purposes.  Depending on market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, GEO and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of the Issuer.  Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:

(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;

(g) Changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

 
Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

GEO is the record owner of the Securities.  As the sole member of GEO, NEA 14 may be deemed to own beneficially the Securities.  As the general partner of NEA 14, NEA Partners 14 may be deemed to own beneficially the Securities.  As the sole general partner of NEA Partners 14, NEA 14 LLC may be deemed to own beneficially the Securities.  As members of NEA 14 LTD, each of the Directors may be deemed to own beneficially the Securities.
 
 
CUSIP No. G85347105 13D Page 19 of 25 Pages
 
 
 
Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Securities other than those shares which such person owns of record.

The percentage of outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is set forth on Line 13 of such Reporting Person's cover sheet.  Such percentage was calculated based on 21,205,382 shares of Ordinary Shares reported to be outstanding on the Issuer's prospectus filed under Rule 424(b)(4), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 16, 2015.

(b) Regarding the number of shares as to which such person has:

(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote: See line 7 of cover sheets

(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: See line 8 of cover sheets

(iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition: See line 9 of cover sheets.

(iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition: See line 10 of cover sheets

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 above, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Ordinary Shares during the last 60 days.

(d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or any proceeds from the sale of, Shares beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.


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

GEO has entered into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to which GEO has generally agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the ordinary shares of the Issuer's Ordinary Shares or such other securities for a period of 180 days from October 16, 2015 without the prior written consent of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated.

 
Item 7.    Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Exhibit 1 – Agreement regarding filing of joint Schedule 13D.

Exhibit 2 – Power of Attorney regarding filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
