As of March 9, 2023, Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara Master Fund”) directly holds 63,685,673 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and a certain managed account for which Antara Capital serves as investment manager (the “Managed Account”) directly holds 4,846,828 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.
 
As of March 9, 2023, the Reporting Persons in the aggregate beneficially own approximately 9.0% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding, based on 639,048,916 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer outstanding as of February 21, 2023, prior to the issuance of the Initial Subscription Shares (defined below), as reported in Exhibit 10.2 to the Issuer’s report on Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2023, plus the 125,000,000 Initial Subscription Shares.
 
On February 21, 2023, Antara Master Fund and the Issuer entered into that certain Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer sold 125,000,000 Ordinary Shares to Antara Master Fund (the “Initial Subscription Shares” and such subscription, the “Initial Subscription”), in a registered offering under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
Under the Subscription Agreement, from the date of issuance of the Initial Subscription Shares to the 12-month anniversary of the closing date of the Exchange (defined below) (the “Lock-Up Period”), Antara Master Fund has waived all of its voting rights in respect of the Initial Subscription Shares and all other Ordinary Shares it may subscribe for pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (“Subsequent Shares”).
 
Additionally, on February 21, 2023, Antara Master Fund and the Issuer entered into that certain Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to issue 219,420,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Shares”) to Antara Master Fund in exchange for $121,900,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 3.50% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “Convertible Notes”) held by Antara Master Fund (the “Exchange”).  The closing of the Exchange is subject to customary closing conditions.
 
Under the Exchange Agreement, during the Lock-Up Period, Antara Master Fund has (a) agreed to waive all of its voting rights in respect of the Exchange Shares and (b) agreed to not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, tender or otherwise dispose (“Transfer”) any of the Exchange Shares or Subsequent Shares; provided, however, that the restrictions on any Transfer are limited only to an aggregate of 100,000,000 of the Ordinary Shares acquired by Antara Master Fund as Exchange Shares or subscribed to by Antara Master Fund under the Subscription Agreement.
 
The Convertible Notes are convertible into Ordinary Shares under certain conditions.  The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares underlying the Convertible Notes as none of Antara Master Fund, the Managed Account or the Reporting Persons are able to convert such Convertible Notes to acquire Ordinary Shares at any time within 60 days of the date hereof.
