The aggregate amount of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”) that may be deemed beneficially owned by Haldor Topsøe Holding A/S (“HTH”) is comprised of (i) 10,289,453 shares of Common Stock held directly by HTH and (ii) 2,269,838 shares of non-voting common stock of the Issuer (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) held directly by HTH. Jakob Haldor Topsøe, Christina Teng Topsøe, Martin Topsøe and Emil Øigaard, members of the board of directors of HTH, may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to the shares reported herein and disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest therein, if any. Pursuant to the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, each holder of shares of Non-Voting Common Stock shall have the right to convert each share of Non-Voting Common Stock held by such holder into one share of Common Stock at such holder’s election by providing written notice to the Issuer; provided, however, that such shares of Non-Voting Common Stock may only be converted into shares of Common Stock during such time or times as immediately prior to or as a result of such conversion would not result in the holder thereof beneficially owning, in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” means initially 4.99% of the Common Stock. Any holder of Non-Voting Common Stock may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation with respect to such holder upon 61 days’ prior written notice to the Issuer and may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time upon providing written notice of such election to the Issuer. Because the percentage of shares of Common Stock held directly by HTH currently exceeds 4.99%, the conversion of the shares of Non-Voting Common Stock held by HTH is limited in its entirety by the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at this time.

Percentage calculated based on (i) 24,101,365 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) (including 1,640,625 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares), as disclosed in the Issuer’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on September 18, 2019, plus (ii) the 2,269,838 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock held by HTH that may be converted into shares of Common Stock at the election of HTH.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed jointly on behalf of Haldor Topsøe Holding A/S (“HTH”), a Danish stock-based corporation whose principal business, through its subsidiary operating companies, is catalysis and chemical processing, Jakob Haldor Topsøe, Christina Teng Topsøe, Martin Topsøe and Emil Øigaard (each a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). The business address and principal office of each Reporting Person is Haldor Topsøes Allé, 1 DK-2800, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark.

Attached as Annex 1 is a chart setting forth, with respect to each executive officer and director of the HTH, his or her name, residence or business address, present principal occupation or employment (along with the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted) and citizenship, in each case as of the date hereof.

(d) Criminal Convictions During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons’s knowledge, any person named on Annex 1 has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e) Civil Proceedings

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of the Reporting Persons’s knowledge, any person named on Annex 1 is or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction where as a result of such proceeding he was or is subject to 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.

The funds used by HTH to acquire beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock were furnished from its working capital funds. The funds used by each of Jakob Haldor Topsøe, Christina Teng Topsøe, Martin Topsøe and Emil Øigaard to acquire beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock were furnished from personal funds.

1,250,000 shares of Common Stock held by HTH and 34,375 shares of Common Stock held by each of Jakob Haldor Topsøe, Christina Teng Topsøe, Martin Topsøe and Emil Øigaard were purchased in connection with the Issuer’s IPO at the IPO price of $16.00 on September 18, 2019.

9,039,453 shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were issued immediately prior to the IPO upon the conversion of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, on a 1-for-1 basis. The Reporting Persons purchased an aggregate of 59,736,323 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share from the Issuer pursuant to a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. $17.3 million of the aggregate purchase price was cancellation of indebtedness owed to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer pursuant to unsecured promissory notes issued to the Reporting Persons. On August 30, 2019, the Issuer effected a 6.6084-for-1 reverse stock split of the Issuer’s capital stock (the “Split”). Following the reverse stock split, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 9,039,453 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The 2,269,838 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons were issued immediately prior to the IPO at the election of the Reporting Persons upon the conversion of the Issuer’s Series C Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, on a 1-for-1 basis. The Reporting Persons purchased an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at a price of $2.00 per share from the Issuer pursuant to a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. $20.0 million of the aggregate purchase price was cancellation of indebtedness owed to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer pursuant to unsecured promissory notes issued to the Reporting Persons. Following the Split, the Reporting Persons held an aggregate of 2,269,838 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. In accordance with the terms of the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, the Reporting Persons elected to have all of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held converted into shares of Non-Voting Common Stock, and such conversion occurred upon the closing of the IPO on September 20, 2019.

The Reporting Persons have acquired shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, as described in Item 3 of this Statement.

Subject to the factors discussed below, the Reporting Persons may purchase additional shares of Common Stock, or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, through open market or privately negotiated transactions (including through the conversion of shares of the Non-Voting Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons), or may determine to sell, trade or otherwise dispose of all or some holdings in the Issuer in the public markets, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or take any other lawful action they deem to be in their best interests, or otherwise, depending upon existing market conditions, the price and availability of such shares or rights and other considerations discussed in this paragraph. The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis various factors relating to its investment in the Issuer, including but not limited to the Issuer’s business and prospects, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons’s general investment and trading policies, market conditions or other factors. The Reporting Persons have not yet determined which of the courses of actions specified in this paragraph it may ultimately take.

Jakob Haldor Topsøe and Christina Teng Topsøe each serve as a member of the Issuer’s board of directors. Immediately prior to the IPO, Ms. Topsøe was appointed as a Class II director to serve until the Issuer’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until her earlier death, resignation or removal, and Mr. Topsøe was appointed as a Class I director to serve until the Issuer’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Investors’ Rights Agreement

HTH is party to an investors’ rights agreement, as amended, with the Issuer and certain other holders of the Issuer’s capital stock. Under the investors’ rights agreement, certain holders of the Issuer’s capital stock have the right to demand that the Issuer file a registration statement or request that their shares of capital stock be covered by a registration statement that the Issuer is otherwise filing.

Nominating Agreement

On June 28, 2019, HTH entered into a nominating agreement (the “Nominating Agreement”) with the Issuer to provide certain rights with respect to HTH’s ability to designate members of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Investor Designees”).

Pursuant to the Nominating Agreement, during the period beginning at the completion of the IPO until the earliest of: (i) the twelfth anniversary of the date of the completion of the IPO; (ii) such time as HTH and its affiliates no longer beneficially own at least 1,134,919 shares of the Issuer’s capital stock; (iii) following the three year anniversary of the completion of the IPO, (a) with respect to one of its two Investor Designees, such time as HTH holds less than 20% of the Issuer’s as-converted securities, and (b) with respect to both of its Investor Designees, such time as HTH holds less than 5% of the Issuer’s as-converted securities; or (iv) the consummation of a deemed liquidation (as defined in the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation), the Issuer will have the obligation to support the nomination of, and to cause the Issuer’s board of directors to include in the slate of nominees recommended to the Issuer’s stockholders for election, two Investor Designees of HTH.

The nomination of each Investor Designee is subject to the reasonable and good faith determination of a majority of the Issuer’s disinterested directors, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such Investor Designee is qualified to serve as a member of the Issuer’s board of directors under applicable laws, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the Issuer’s amended and restated bylaws and any of the Issuer’s company policies. If an Investor Designee resigns from his or her seat on the Issuer’s board of directors or is removed or does not become a director for any reason, the vacancy will be filled by the election or appointment of another Investor Designee of HTH as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Jakob Haldor Topsøe and Christina Teng Topsøe each serve as a member of the Issuer’s board of directors. Immediately prior to the IPO, Ms. Topsøe was appointed as a Class II director to serve until the Issuer’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until her earlier death, resignation or removal, and Mr. Topsøe was appointed as a Class I director to serve until the Issuer’s 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the IPO, HTH, Jakob Haldor Topsøe and Christina Teng Topsøe each entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) with Jeffries LLC, Piper Jaffray & Co. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives of the underwriters in the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, each of these Reporting Persons agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock during the period ending 180 days after September 17, 2019. The covenants under the Lock-Up Agreement do not apply with respect to shares of Common Stock purchased by such Reporting Persons in connection with or following the IPO.

Except as described above, no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships (legal or otherwise) exist between the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies. Except as described above, none of the Reporting Persons is a party to any arrangement whereby securities of the Issuer are pledged or are otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities.
