• | Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-270604), which was filed with the Commission on March 16, 2023, in relation to the registration and resale of up to an aggregate of 17,648,596 Common Shares, by certain selling shareholders; and |

Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Purchaser acquired all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares for (i) US$21.00 per share in cash pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement plus (ii) one contingent value right per share representing the contingent right to receive a cash payment equal to US$3.00 per share pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement entered into at or prior to the completion of the Arrangement (as defined below), by and among the Parent, Purchaser, and Rights Agent (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement).

In accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities of the Company registered under the Registration Statements which remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Company hereby amends the Registration Statements and removes from registration any and all of the securities of the Company registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold or otherwise unissued, if any, as of the date hereof, and hereby terminates the effectiveness of each of the Registration Statements. After giving effect to this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statements, there will be no remaining securities registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statements.
