2. In connection with the closing of the business combination between the Issuer and Zura Bio Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales ("Zura"), among other things, each ordinary share of Zura was exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (including the corporate restructuring of Zura contemplated therein) into Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer (the exchange ratio used for such exchange is hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Ratio"). In addition, each outstanding Zura equity award was automatically converted into a corresponding equity award of the Issuer based on the Exchange Ratio and with the same terms and vesting conditions as the Zura equity awards.
