Amount beneficially owned:

 

 

Each of WA and WGP is deemed to be the beneficial owner of 14,317,982 Ordinary Shares, as a result of WA’s clients’ ownership of: (i) warrants to purchase 4,870,130 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per Ordinary Share (“Warrants”); (ii) $15,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (“Notes”), which are convertible into 4,870,130 Ordinary Shares based on the initial conversion price of $3.08 per Ordinary Share; and (iii) the option to acquire an additional $15,000,000 principal amount of Notes, which option is exercisable for a period of 12 months following the effective date of the registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares underlying the Notes, with each of (i) through (iii) subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitations (defined below).  The Warrants are subject to a blocker which prevents the holder from exercising the Warrants to the extent that, upon such exercise, the holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as a result of the exercise (the “Warrant Ownership Limitation”).  The Notes are subject to a blocker which prevents the holder from converting the Notes to the extent that, upon such conversion, the holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.90% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as a result of the conversion  (the “Notes Ownership Limitation” and, together with the Warrant Ownership Limitation, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitations”).
