Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amended and Restated Transaction Support Agreement

On January 9, 2023, Quotient Limited (“Quotient” or the “Company”) entered into an amended and restated transaction support agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, the “A&R TSA”) with holders of all of its (i) outstanding senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and (ii) convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Convertible Notes Indenture” and together with the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (such holders of the Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Notes, collectively, the “Consenting Noteholders”).

The A&R TSA amends and restates in its entirety the transaction support agreement (the “Original TSA”) entered into by the parties on December 5, 2022 and previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 7, 2022. The A&R TSA updates and modifies certain steps effectuating the transactions pursuant to which the Company will undergo a comprehensive restructuring of its balance sheet (collectively, the “Transactions”), removes references to the potential creditor schemes of arrangement in England, enhances the diligence available for the benefit of the Consenting Noteholders, provides for automatic termination (rather than termination only after receipt of written notice) upon certain events, and reduces 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.

The foregoing description of the A&R TSA is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R TSA (including the exhibits thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Any securities to be issued pursuant to the Transactions have not been, and are not intended to be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. Therefore, such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or buy, nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or buy, any securities referred to herein, nor is this Current Report on Form 8-K a solicitation of consents to or votes to accept the Proposed Plan or any other chapter 11 plan. Any solicitation or offer will only be made pursuant to a disclosure statement and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law.

Omnibus Transaction Agreement

On January 9, 2023, Quotient Holdings Newco, LP (“Newco”), Quotient Holdings Finance Company Limited (“Finance Co”), Quotient Holdings Merger Company Limited (“Merger Co”) and the Company entered into an omnibus transaction agreement (together with all exhibits, annexes and schedules thereto, the “Omnibus Transaction Agreement”) with holders of all of its Convertible Notes issued under the Convertible Notes Indenture (the “Convertible Noteholders”).

Pursuant to the Omnibus Transaction Agreement, the Convertible Noteholders agree to the deemed issuance of paid-in-kind notes on account of the November 2022 interest payment due in respect of the Convertible Notes, the deemed transfer of an equal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes Transferred Principal”) to Newco in exchange for Newco granting certain equity purchase rights to each of the Convertible Noteholders, the deemed transfer of the Convertible Notes Transferred Principal by Newco to Finance Co in exchange for the issuance of 99,999 ordinary shares of Finance Co to Newco, the deemed transfer of half of the Convertible Notes Transferred Principal by Finance Co to Merger Co in exchange for the issuance of 99,999 ordinary shares of Merger Co to Finance Co, and the deemed transfer of all of the Convertible Notes Transferred Principal from Finance Co and Merger Co to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 800,000 preference shares of the Company to Finance Co and 800,000 preference shares of the Company to Merger Co. After the transfer of the Convertible Notes Transferred Principal to the Company, the Convertible Notes Transferred Principal will be cancelled and extinguished.

The foregoing description of the Omnibus Transaction Agreement is a summary only, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Omnibus Transaction Agreement (including the exhibits thereto), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.

Voluntary Petition for Reorganization

On January 10, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), Quotient filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 (the “Chapter 11 Case”) of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company will continue to operate its business as a “debtor in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has filed a series of first day motions with the Bankruptcy Court that seek authorization to continue to conduct its business without interruption. These motions are designed primarily to minimize the effect of bankruptcy on the Company’s operations. None of Quotient’s subsidiaries intend to file voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code, and each of those subsidiaries expects to continue to operate its respective business in the ordinary course unaffected by the Chapter 11 Case. The bankruptcy filing was contemplated under the A&R TSA (referenced above) as part of a comprehensive restructuring to de-lever the Company’s consolidated balance sheet by reducing debt by approximately $140 million and provide new cash for ongoing operations.

Additional information about the Chapter 11 Case, court filings and other documents related to the Chapter 11 Case are available on a website administered by the Company’s claims and noticing agent, Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC, at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/quotientlimited/Home-Index.

Item 2.04. Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The text set forth in Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the bankruptcy filing is incorporated into this item by reference.

The bankruptcy filing described above constituted an event of default or otherwise triggered or may trigger repayment obligations under a number of instruments and agreements relating to direct financial obligations of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Debt Instruments”). The Debt Instruments include (i) approximately $137 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding senior secured notes issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of October 14, 2016, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, and (ii) approximately $105 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding convertible notes issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2021, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee.

Pursuant to the terms of the A&R TSA, the Consenting Noteholders have agreed to forbear from exercising any and all rights and remedies in contravention of the A&R TSA in respect of their respective senior secured notes, convertible notes and/or any other claims and interests of the Company, including as it relates to the events of defaults triggered in connection with the Chapter 11 Case, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R TSA.

Forward Looking Statements

Such statements are based on current assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially, including: the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; the Company’s ability to obtain approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the relief requested in the first day motions; Quotient’s ability to effectuate the restructuring plan and financing; the ability of the Company to develop and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Case; the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case in general; the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Case; and other risks set forth in Quotient’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents that Quotient files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

8

and delivering an executed copy of the same within two Business Days following such execution, to Ropes, Pillsbury, and Paul Hastings, in which event, the transferee shall be deemed to be a Subsequent Consenting Holder hereunder to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations and the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish certain of its rights (and be released from certain of its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations.

Section 8.01 Not later than the open of business on the Business Day that is four Business Days after the Support Effective Date, the Issuer will file one of more Current Reports on Form 8-K with the SEC describing the existence of this Agreement and the terms hereof, including the terms of the transactions contemplated thereby. If the Issuer fails to make the foregoing disclosures in compliance with the terms specified herein, any Consenting Holder may publicly disclose the foregoing, including this Agreement, and all of its exhibits and schedules (subject to the redactions called for by this Section 8 hereof), and the Issuer hereby waives any claims against the Consenting Holder arising as a result of such disclosure by a Consenting Holder in compliance with this Agreement. Any such disclosure shall not disclose the identity of the Consenting Noteholders.

Section 8.02 The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit drafts to Ropes and Pillsbury of any documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least two Business Days before making any such disclosure (if practicable, and if two Business Days before is not practicable, then as soon as practicable but in no event less than

16

SECTION 9. Amendments and Waivers.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, (a) the Issuer may waive, modify, amend or supplement any of the Definitive Documents in a manner that is technical or conforming in nature without the consent of any Consenting Holder, (b) this Agreement, the form of Joinder Agreement, the Transaction Term Sheet, the Implementation Steps Memo, or any form of or term sheet for a Definitive Document may not be waived, modified, amended or supplemented except in a writing signed by the Issuer and the Requisite Consenting Holders; and (c) any other change, modification, or amendment to the economic terms of the Transaction Term Sheet, the Implementation Steps Memo, or such other transaction structure or means of implementation or such other transaction structure or means of implementation as directed by the Requisite Consenting Holders in their sole discretion, that have a material and adverse effect on any Consenting Noteholder may not be made without the written consent of the Issuer and each Consenting Holder. No waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement, including any exhibits hereto, that is disproportionately adverse to any Consenting Holder as compared to similarly situated Consenting Holders shall be binding upon such Consenting Holder unless such Consenting Holder has consented in writing to such waiver, modification, amendment or supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Schedule 1 to the Transaction Term Sheet may be updated to allocate or reallocate commitment amounts thereunder as between Consenting Holders in connection with (i) any Joinder Agreement, (ii) any Transfer of Senior Secured Notes or Convertible Notes, or (iii) otherwise, in each case with the consent of only the Consenting Holders affected by such allocation or reallocation.

BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING.

SECTION 12. Specific Performance/Remedies; Remedies Cumulative; Reimbursement of Expenses.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorneys fees and costs) as a remedy of any such breach, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party. At (a) the consummation of a Consensual Transaction and (b) the Closing, the Issuer agrees to pay all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Ropes and its local counsel incurred in connection with the representation of the Initial Consenting Holders prior to the date hereof and through and including the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Ropes incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, in accordance with the Transaction Term Sheet.

SECTION 13. Survival.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof, Sections 5.05, 8, and 11–21 will survive such termination and will continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Parties in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that any liability of a Party for failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement will survive such termination.

This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, will be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability will attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision hereof and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon any such determination of invalidity, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each of the Parties (a) to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against any of the other Parties (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries), (b) purchase, sell, or enter into any transactions in connection with the Senior Secured Notes or Convertible Notes, (c) enforce any right under the Indentures, subject to the terms hereof, (d) consult with other Consenting Holders, other holders of Senior Secured Notes or Convertible Notes, or any other Party regarding the Transaction, or (e) enforce any right, remedy, condition, consent or approval requirement under this Agreement or in any of the Definitive Documents.

SECTION 21. Relationship among Parties.

It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Holder has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Consenting Holder, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Holder may acquire Senior Secured Notes, Convertible Notes, or other debt or equity securities of the Issuer without the consent of the Issuer or any other Consenting Holder, subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; provided, that, no Consenting Holder will have any responsibility for any such acquisition to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement.

SECTION 22. Representation by Counsel; Adequate Information.

Section 22.01 Each Consenting Holder hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Company. Each Party acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to receive information from the Issuer and that it has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel will have no application and is expressly waived. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Issuer and the Consenting Holders, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof.

Section 22.02 Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be an offer with respect to any securities. Any such offer will be made only in compliance with all applicable securities Laws and/or other applicable Law. Although each Party believes this Agreement does not constitute or contain an offering of securities, each Consenting Holder acknowledges, agrees, and represents to the other Parties that it (a) is either an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional

21

buyer” as such term is defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act, (b) understands that the securities to be acquired by it pursuant to the Transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act and that such securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act, based in part upon such Consenting Holder’s representations contained in this Agreement and cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available, and (c) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Consenting Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the securities to be acquired by it pursuant to the Transaction and understands and is able to bear any economic risks with such investment.

SECTION 23. Fiduciary Duties.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, until the consummation of a Consensual Transaction, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company, nor any board of directors or managers of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.03(c) hereof), to the extent the board of directors or managers reasonably determines in good faith, based on the written advice of outside counsel, that taking, or refraining from taking, such action, as applicable, would be a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the taking, or refraining from taking, such action, as applicable, would be in violation of applicable law, or the consummation of which would require expenditures in excess of the Issuer’s available liquidity), and any such action or inaction pursuant to such exercise of such fiduciary duties shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement other than for purposes of determining whether a Creditor Termination Event has occurred that would entitle the Requisite Consenting Noteholders to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.02(b) or Section 5.02(d). The Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days following such determination) notify each of the Consenting Holders of any such determination.

SECTION 24. Email Consents.

Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel (identified in Section 19) to the applicable Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

The transactions in subsections (d)-(o) of Step 3.1 will only occur when the Plan becomes effective after the Bankruptcy Court enters an order confirming the Plan, which shall be acceptable in all respects to the Requisite Consenting Holders (the “Confirmation Order”) and shall waive the stay provided under Rule 3020(e) of the United States Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and become a final order, and such transactions in subsections (d)-(o) of Step 3.1 shall be consummated substantially contemporaneously on the effective date of the Plan.

3.3 If, after consultation with Issuer Co, the Requisite Consenting Holders provide written notice to Issuer Co documenting their reasonable belief that the Confirmation Order is unlikely to be entered on a timely basis by the Bankruptcy Court, either due to failure of the Bankruptcy Court to enter the Confirmation Order on or before February 17, 2023, such Confirmation Order being entered and then either stayed or becoming subject to appeal, or otherwise, then Issuer Co shall immediately seek dismissal of the Bankruptcy Case and, upon such dismissal, unless otherwise instructed by the Requisite Consenting Holders, thereafter shall make any appropriate or necessary filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the implementation of the Transaction,

including as applicable, with respect to Rule 13e-3 and Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act, and upon effectiveness of any approvals obtained as a result of such filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the transactions in subsections (d)-(o) of Step 3.1 shall be consummated substantially contemporaneously on the effective date of such approval(s).

4 MERGER TRANSACTION

4.1 Once the transactions under the Consensual Transaction (as defined in the TSA) are complete, subject to the receipt of any required third party consent, Issuer Co will have no assets or liabilities save for the Greensill Claims (the proceeds thereof the Issuer Co will be obligated to pay over to the Finance Co under the terms of the BTA) and the Retained Debt (the latter to be waived as part of the proposed merger, see next paragraph).

4.2 The majority (at least 2/3rds) of the Issuer Co’s ordinary and preference shares will be owned by Finance Co and Merger Co. Finance Co also owns 100% of Merger Co. In order to relieve the shareholders of Issuer Co from any potential liability in its winding up, in consideration of the waiver of the Retained Debt and in consideration of the payment of $0.01 to each member of Issuer Co whose name appears on the register of members of Issuer Co, Issuer Co and Merger Co will enter into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which Issuer Co merges with Merger Co.
