This letter amends and restates in its entirety the letter that was sent to you on or around September 14, 2022.
The Offer is being made exclusively to existing holders of Series G ADSs and Series H ADSs, and, accordingly, the holders of the underlying Preferred Shares. If all conditions to the Offer are satisfied or waived, the Company will acquire up to 300,000 of Series G ADSs from all such tendering holders of Series G ADSs and up to 1,000,000 of the Series H ADSs from all such tendering holders of Series H ADSs. If more than 300,000 Series G ADSs are tendered, then the Company shall acquire such number of Series G ADSs at the Series G ADS Purchase Price on a pro rata basis from all holders that tendered Series G ADSs. If more than 1,000,000 Series H ADSs are tendered, then the Company shall acquire such number of Series H ADSs at the Series H ADS Purchase Price on a pro rata basis from all holders that tendered Series H ADSs. The aggregate consideration for 300,000 Series G ADSs and 1,000,000 Series H ADSs sought in the Offer is approximately $20,000,000.
As a result of any required proration, the Company may not purchase all of the Series G ADSs and/or Series H ADSs that you properly tender. No fractional Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs will be purchased. The exact details of the tender acceptance proration are described in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase.
Any Series G ADSs or Series H ADSs not accepted will be credited back to the appropriate account promptly following the expiration or termination of the Offer.
