* As more fully described in Item 4, the reported warrants are subject to the 9.90% Blocker (as defined in Item 4) and the percentage set forth on row (11) gives effect to the 9.90% Blocker. However, rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of Ordinary Shares that would be issuable upon the full exercise of the reported warrants and does not give effect to the 9.90% Blocker. Therefore, the actual number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to the 9.90% Blocker, is less than the number of securities reported on rows (6), (8) and (9).

Pursuant to the terms of the Reported Warrants, the Reporting Person cannot exercise any of the Reported Warrants to the extent the Reporting Person would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.90% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “9.90% Blocker”) and the percentage set forth in Row (11) of the cover page for the Reporting Person gives effect to the 9.90% Blocker.
