Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

The description of the Transactions, including the Merger, set forth in Item 4 below is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3. Funding for the consideration payable pursuant to the Transactions was obtained through available cash on hand.

ITEM 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

As previously disclosed, on January 17, 2024, Sun, Alkaloida, Libra Merger Ltd., an Israeli company controlled by Sun and a direct subsidiary of Alkaloida (the “Merger Sub”), Sun Pharma Holdings (“Sun Mauritius”), The Taro Development Corporation (“TDC”) and the Issuer entered into an Agreement of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”).

On June 10, 2024, the Issuer notified the Companies Registrar of the State of Israel (the “Israel Registrar”) that all conditions in the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived, and the Israel Registrar issued a certificate evidencing the consummation of the Merger on June 24, 2024, pursuant to which the Merger became effective on June 24, 2024 (such effective time of the Merger, the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, the Issuer became a private company and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun.

At the Effective Time, all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares held by Sun or its affiliates, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$43.00 per Ordinary Share in cash without interest.

As a result of the Merger, the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares ceased to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) prior to market open on June 24, 2024. On June 24, 2024, NYSE filed an application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to withdraw registration of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of Form 25, or such shorter period as may be determined by the SEC. The Issuer intends to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a Form 15 with the SEC approximately 10 days following the filing of the Form 25. The Issuer’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately as of the filing date of the Form 15 and will terminate once the deregistration becomes effective.

A copy of the press release (“Press Release”) issued by Sun on June 24, 2024 announcing the consummation of the Merger is filed as Exhibit 99.60 to this Amendment No. 31, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

The consummation of the Merger and the other transactions described in this Item 4 has resulted in or will result in, among other actions, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, the delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the NYSE, and the termination of registration of the Ordinary Shares under Section 12(b) and/or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

(a), (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons set forth in Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of the Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. As a result of the Merger, all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares held by the Reporting Persons, were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger consideration, with the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owners, in the aggregate, of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

(c) The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 above is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Except as described herein, no transactions in the Ordinary Shares have been effected by the Reporting Persons during the 60 days prior to the date of the Schedule 13D.

(d), (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by incorporating by reference in its entirety the description of the transactions, including the Merger, set forth in Item 4 above.

ITEM 7.

Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:
