Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

On September 17, 2018, PAR Investment Partners purchased 7,000,000 ADSs, representing an equal number of Class A shares (the “Acquired Shares”), from Peter Vinnemeier and Malte Siewert (the “Selling Shareholders”), founders and former managing directors of the Issuer, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 14, 2018. The Acquired Shares were purchased at a price of $4.47 per ADS in a private transaction that was exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. PAR Investment Partners purchased the Acquired Shares, as well as its previously acquired Class A Shares, for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business. In connection with but prior to the purchase of the Acquired Shares, the Selling Shareholders converted a portion of their Class B Shares, nominal value of €0.60 per share, into Class A Shares, resulting in an increase in the total number of outstanding Class A Shares by an amount equal to 7,000,000 shares.

In connection with such investment, and as may be appropriate from time to time, each of the Reporting Persons may consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to such investment, including, without limitation: (a) the acquisition or disposition by the Reporting Persons of the Class A Shares, including through derivative transactions which may include security-based swaps and short sales; (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) changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; (e) a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing any class of the Issuer’s securities 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) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. The Reporting Persons may communicate with the Board, members of management and/or other stockholders from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or otherwise work with management and the Board. Except as described in Item 6 and this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clause (a) through (j) of this paragraph.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law or other restrictions, at any time and from time to time, to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of some or all of the Class A Shares or such other securities, in each case in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, and review or reconsider their position, change their purpose, take other actions (including actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in clauses (a) through (j) of the foregoing paragraph of this Item 4) or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a)-(b) As of September 18, 2018, PAR Investment Partners may be deemed to beneficially own 13,105,000 Class A Shares, representing approximately 34.5% (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of the outstanding Class A Shares.

As of September 18, 2018, PAR Group, through its control of PAR Investment Partners as general partner, may be deemed to beneficially own 13,105,000 Class A Shares, representing approximately 34.5% (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of the outstanding Class A Shares.

As of September 18, 2018, PAR Capital Management, through is control of PAR Group as general partner, may be deemed to beneficially own 13,105,000 Class A Shares, representing approximately 34.5% (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act) of the outstanding Class A Shares.

The percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned as set forth above is based on the sum of (i) 30,995,322 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2018, plus (ii) 7,000,000 Class A Shares resulting from the conversion of Class B Shares, nominal value of €0.60 per share, as described in Item 4 of this report.

(c) Other than as described in Item 4 of this report, there were no transactions by the Reporting Persons relating to the Class A Shares effected during the past sixty days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

PAR Investment Partners holds a portion of its assets, which may include the Issuer’s securities, in prime brokerage accounts at various institutions, which accounts provide PAR Investment Partners with access to margin or other financing. The customer and related agreements governing such accounts generally provide the broker counterparty with security, collateral or similar rights of possession, sale or offset with respect to such account assets in the event of a customer default. Such agreements generally also provide the counterparty with rights to lend assets held in such account, in some cases without advance or other notification to the customer. To the extent the Issuer’s securities owned by PAR Investment Partners are held from time to time in such prime broker accounts, they may be subject to such counterparty rights.

PAR Investment Partners has entered into cash settled equity swap and other similar derivatives transactions and contracts with one or more counterparties, the value of which is based in whole or in part on the value of the ADSs representing the Class A Shares. PAR Investment Partners has modified, added to and/or unwound certain of such contracts, and expects to do so in the future, including at times when it may be purchasing or selling Class A Shares that PAR Investment Partners beneficially owns. The profit and loss on such contracts is wholly or partially referenced to, and therefore calculated based on, the market value of the Class A Shares, the relative value of such securities in comparison to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in which the Class A Shares may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing.

The equity swap contracts described above do not, and will not at any time, give the Reporting Persons voting or dispositive power over any Class A Shares referenced thereby. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership in any Class A Shares that may be referenced in such contracts or that may be held from time to time by any counterparties to such contracts.

As of the date of this report, the equity swap contracts described above give PAR Investment Partners economic exposure to an additional 4,482,840 Class A Shares. 2,623,000 of such swaps mature on April 5, 2021, and 1,859,840 mature on April 27, 2022. The reference prices for such swaps range from $4.69 to $6.52. The Reporting Persons do not have voting power or dispositive power with respect to the Class A Shares referenced in such swaps and disclaim beneficial ownership of the Class A Shares underlying such swaps.

The Reporting Persons have agreed with the Issuer that, except under certain circumstances, they may not directly or indirectly transfer, sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of, any of the Acquired Shares until March 17, 2019.

Except as otherwise set forth in this report, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 or between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
