In addition, though Mason Capital has been in touch with the Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, to address the treatment of the Ordinary Shares upon surrender of ADSs on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Tender Offer Materials), as of June 12, 2024 Mason Capital is unable to confirm whether the BNY Condition (as defined in the Tender Offer Materials) will be satisfied on the Settlement Date.

Mason Capital does not make any recommendations as to whether holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares should tender or refrain from tendering their ADSs or Ordinary Shares. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to participate in the Tender Offer and, if so, the amount of ADSs or Ordinary Shares to tender or purchase. The Tender Offer is not being made to holders of ADSs or Ordinary Shares in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
