You can vote your shares by attending the meeting, by completing and signing a proxy card or by voting as provided in
the proxy card. Proxy cards will be distributed to shareholders on or about September 25, 2024, together with a proxy statement which will include the full version of the proposed resolutions.
Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote upon each of the proposals to be presented at the meeting. The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented and voting on each of the proposals in person or by proxy is required to approve each of the proposals.
In addition, a special majority vote will be required for approval of the proposals in Items 3, 5 and 6. In order
for each of these proposals to be approved either (i) the affirmative vote of the ordinary shares must include at least a majority of the ordinary shares voted by shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have a personal
interest in the approval of the proposal, or (ii) the total ordinary shares of non-controlling shareholders and non-interested shareholders voted against such proposal must not represent more than two percent of the outstanding ordinary shares.
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” all proposals under Items 1 through 7.
