General
As the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Issuer, the Reporting Person may have significant influence under the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Issuer or otherwise over various matters with respect to his investment in the Issuer. These may include, among other things: (i) the calling of a general meeting of shareholders of the Issuer by the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”); and (ii) other matters described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Additionally, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, the Reporting Person intends to continue playing a central role in the Issuer’s day-to-day executive management, and, subject to applicable approvals from the compensation committee of the Board, to receive additional equity securities of the Issuer as compensation. In addition, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer and a director, the Reporting Person intends to be involved in approvals or recommendations with respect to the issuance of additional equity securities of the Issuer to other directors or employees of the Issuer or its subsidiaries.
The Reporting Person may, from time to time, take such actions regarding his investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate. These actions may include, subject to the Issuer’s insider trading policy and other considerations, acquiring additional Ordinary Shares and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities or derivative or other instruments of the Issuer that are based upon or relate to the value of Ordinary Shares (collectively, “Securities”) or disposing of such Securities, in each case, in the open market or otherwise, including for personal investment or in connection with business development transactions or financing commitments in relation thereto. In determining whether to carry out any of the above-mentioned actions, the Reporting Person may consider factors such as the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Ordinary Shares, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions.
In light of his responsibilities to the Issuer, the Reporting Person does not anticipate making any disclosures in connection with his participation in the transactions and activities of the Issuer separate and apart from relevant disclosures by the Issuer, unless otherwise required by Schedule 13D. Other than as described above, the Reporting Person does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Person may change his purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
