Exhibit Information
|
As of 30 June 2026, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,346,764 Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 304,556 Ordinary Shares and (ii) 1,042,208 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants. The Reporting Persons hold pre-funded warrants exercisable for 2,688,533 Ordinary Shares; however, such warrants contain a beneficial ownership limitation that prohibits exercise to the extent it would cause the holder's beneficial ownership to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. Based on 13,481,123 Ordinary Shares outstanding (as provided directly by the company on 29 July 2026), the 9.99% limitation permits exercise of only 1,042,208 warrant shares after giving effect to the 304,556 Ordinary Shares otherwise held. Position held by Alyeska Master Fund, L.P. Alyeska Investment Group, L.P., as investment manager, exercises voting and investment control over the shares held by Alyeska Master Fund, L.P. Anand Parekh, as Chief Executive Officer of Alyeska Investment Group, L.P., may be deemed the beneficial owner of such shares. Mr. Parekh disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
