(a) and (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 4 are incorporated herein by reference.
The calculation in this Schedule 13D of the percentage of Common Shares outstanding beneficially owned by a Reporting Person or a Schedule A Person, as the case may be, is based on (i) 61,652,633 Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2023, plus (ii) in the case of any Schedule A Persons, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants owned by the Reporting Persons, if any.
As of the date of filing of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,475,725 Common Shares, which represents approximately 4.0% of the outstanding Common Shares.

As of the date of this Amendment No. 4, the parties to the Shareholder Agreement (the "Group") may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act that beneficially owns, in the aggregate, 28,028,142 Common Shares representing 45.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares, based on the publicly available information concerning beneficial ownership by the other parties to the Shareholder Agreement. The members of the Group are each filing separate Schedules 13D to report the Common Shares that they may be deemed to beneficially own. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Shareholder Agreement. Except as disclosed herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not reflect any Common Shares beneficially owned by the other parties to the Shareholder Agreement.
(c) The Reporting Persons have effected transactions in Common Stock during the past 60 days as disclosed in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 4, which are incorporated herein by reference.
(d) Not applicable.
