Part I

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

Part II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are incorporated by reference as of their respective dates in this Registration Statement:

In addition, this Registration Statement will incorporate by reference all other documents subsequently filed by the Registrant under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold. All those documents will be considered a part of this Registration Statement from the respective dates the Registrant files them. Any statement in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in this Registration Statement or in any other later filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes the statement. Any statement modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as modified or superseded, to be a part of this Registration Statement.

Not applicable.

Not applicable.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant’s Sixth Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for indemnification of each of the Registrant’s officers and directors against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such indemnified person, other than by reason of his or her own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Registrant’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake or judgement) or in the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such indemnified person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Registrant or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Pursuant to the form of indemnification agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.6 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-217064), the Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such person in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

The form of underwriting agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form F-1, as amended (Registration No. 333-217064), also provides for indemnification by the underwriters of the Registrant and its directors and officers for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, but only to the extent that such liabilities are caused by information relating to the underwriters furnished to the Registrant in writing expressly for use in such registration statement and certain other disclosure documents.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Not applicable.

See Exhibit Index.

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included on a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
