Your attention is directed to the following:
1. The Offer commenced on June 11, 2021 and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 28, 2021, unless the Offer is extended (the latest time and date at which the Offer will expire, the “Expiration Date”).
2. The Offer is being made for all Ordinary Shares and ADSs.
3. The Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions as described in the section “The Tender Offer—Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase.
4. Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or person (other than certain parties as described in the section “The Tender Offer—Fees and Expenses” of the Offer to Purchase) for soliciting tenders of ADSs pursuant to the Offer. Banks, brokers, dealers and other nominees may, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing, handling and out of pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding materials relating to the Offer to their customers.
5. Under no circumstances will Purchaser pay interest on the consideration paid for ADSs pursuant to the Offer, regardless of any delay in making such payment (see “The Tender Offer—Terms of the Offer—Consideration and Payment” of the Offer to Purchase).
6. If a holder of ADSs that is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes does not provide a properly completed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 that is signed under penalties of perjury, and which includes the holder’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number (which generally is the holder’s social security or federal employer identification number), or does not otherwise establish an exemption, such holder may be subject to required backup U.S. federal income tax withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) of the gross proceeds payable to such holder in exchange for its ADSs. A copy of IRS Form W-9 is included with the ADS Letter of Transmittal. A tendering holder of ADSs that is not a U.S. person may establish such holder’s exemption from backup withholding by submitting to the applicable withholding agent a properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, which Equiniti Trust Company (the “ADS Tender Agent”) will provide upon request and which may be obtained from the IRS on its Internet website: www.irs.gov (see “The Tender Offer—Procedures for Tendering into the Offer—Backup United States Federal Income Tax Withholding” of the Offer to Purchase).
7. Holders of ADSs that cannot deliver all required documents to make a valid tender to the ADS Tender Agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date may nevertheless tender such ADSs by contacting their broker or custodian in order to execute a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and following the guaranteed delivery procedures as described in the section “The Tender Offer—Procedures for Tendering into the Offer—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures” of the Offer to Purchase.
