This Amendment No. 15 is being filed in relation to (a) the purchase by QH Hungary on August 10, 2022 of 50,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at a purchase price of $184.2694 per share ($9,213,470 in the aggregate) (the “Purchase”), (b) the amendment and restatement of five existing and previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), which are the amendments, dated August 10, 2022 to the Second Citi Supplemental Confirmation, Third Citi Supplemental Confirmation, Fifth Citi Supplemental Confirmation, Sixth Citi Supplemental Confirmation and Seventh Citi Supplemental Confirmation (such amendments, the “Citi 8/10/22 VPF Amendments”), (c) the amendment and restatement of two existing and previously reported prepaid variable share forward transactions with Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC"), which are the amendments, dated August 10, 2022 to the First RBC Supplemental Confirmation and Third RBC Supplemental Confirmation (such amendments, the “RBC 8/10/22 VPF Amendments” and, together with the Citi 8/10/22 VPF Amendments, the “8/10/22 VPF Amendments”) and (d) the pledge of the 50,000 shares QH Hungary obtained in the Purchase, as well as an additional 63,868 shares held by QH Hungary (for a total of 113,868 shares), to the Margin Loan Custodian under the previously reported Pledge and Security Agreement to secure QH Hungary's obligations under a Margin Loan (the “Pledge”).

Although no new shares were pledged in connection with the 8/10/22 VPF Amendments, 150,296 shares that were previously pledged to JPMorgan are now pledged to Citibank in connection with the novation related to the Sixth Citi Supplemental Confirmation and Seventh Citi Supplemental Confirmation.

In exchange for amending and restating the (a) Second Citi Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $355,091.19 to Citibank, (b) Third Citi Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $621,125.31 to Citibank, (c) Fifth Citi Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $400,334.77 to Citibank, (d) Sixth Citi Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $1,449,292.39 to Citibank, (e) Seventh Citi Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $208,891.48 to Citibank, (f) First RBC Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $355,091.17 to RBC and (g) Third RBC Supplemental Confirmation, QH Hungary paid $174,076.24 to RBC. Pursuant to each transaction, QH Hungary has the option to settle its obligations at the end of the applicable contract by delivering Shares to Citibank and RBC, as applicable, as described in more details in Item 6 below or the cash equivalent thereof.

After the Purchase, the 8/10/22 VPF Amendments and the Pledge, QH Hungary remained the direct beneficial owner of a total of 3,992,377 Shares and Gulf Hungary remained the indirect beneficial owner of the same 3,992,377 Shares. Gulf Hungary continues to be the direct beneficial owner of a separate 37,186 Shares. All 3,992,377 Shares directly owned by QH Hungary remain subject to the Shareholder Agreement (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D) to which QH Hungary also became a party by executing a joinder thereto.

This Amendment No. 15 is filed jointly by the Reporting Persons. All disclosure for items contained in the Original Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference, subject to the amended and additional information provided for such item in this Amendment No. 15. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

This Amendment No. 15 relates to the Purchase, the 8/10/22 VPF Amendments and the Pledge, the purpose of which is to facilitate the transactions contemplated by the 8/10/22 VPF Amendments and the Margin Loan. These transactions were designed for QH Hungary to raise financing, subject to the applicable transaction documents while maintaining an opportunity to share in the Issuer’s future growth. These transactions are described in further detail in Item 6 of this Amendment No. 15.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The (a) First RBC Supplemental Confirmation covering a maximum aggregate amount of 105,002 shares is divided into one tranche ("Tranche 1" (which was not amended on August 10, 2022)) of 50 components for 87,500 shares and a second tranche ("Tranche 2") of 50 components for 17,502 shares (each a "Component"), and (b) Third RBC Supplemental Confirmation covering a maximum aggregate amount of 8,580 shares is divided into 50 Components. For each Component, QH Hungary is obligated to deliver, on the settlement date (the "Settlement Date") determined based on the specified scheduled valuation date within the periods from March 24, 2023 to June 5, 2023 for Tranche 1 of the First RBC Supplemental Confirmation and May 28, 2024 to August 8, 2024 for each of Tranche 2 of the First RBC Supplemental Confirmation and Third RBC Supplemental Confirmation (as applicable) either, at QH Hungary's option, (a) (1) up to 1,750 Shares (Tranche 1) and up to 350 Shares (or 351 Shares for two of such Settlement Dates) (Tranche 2) of the First RBC Supplemental Confirmation, (b) up to 172 Shares (or 171 Shares for the last 20 Settlement Dates) for the Third RBC Supplemental Confirmation, to RBC (such Share number, "Subject Number") based on the average market price of the Shares determined as described below or (ii) an amount of cash equivalent to the value of such Shares.

The number of Shares (or, at QH Hungary's option, the cash equivalent) to be delivered to the applicable bank on each Settlement Date is to be determined as follows: (a) if the volume-weighted average price per Share on the relevant valuation date, as reasonably determined by the applicable bank by reference to the Bloomberg Page "KWR <equity> AQR <Go>" (or any successor page thereto) (provided that, if such price is not so reported for any reason or is, in the applicable bank's reasonable discretion, erroneous, a price determined by the applicable bank in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner) (the "Settlement Price") is equal to or less than $184.2694 per Share (or, in the case of each Tranche 1, $239.4600 per Share) (the "Forward Floor Price"), QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank the Subject Number of Shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is between the Forward Floor Price and $202.6963 per Share (or, in the case of each Tranche 1, $258.6168 per Share) (the "Forward Cap Price"), QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank a number of Shares equal to the Subject Number multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Forward Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Forward Cap Price, QH Hungary will deliver to the applicable bank a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the Subject Number and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Forward Floor Price and (y) the Settlement Price minus the Forward Cap Price, and (B) the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.
