| The following constitutes Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 5”). This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

| Item 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
| Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | |
On May 12, 2023, Viking Global Investors LP and certain other Parties to the Cooperation Agreement (previously filed as Exhibit G to the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D/A filed on April 27, 2023) submitted to the board of directors of the Issuer, for discussion purposes, an indicative proposal outlining a potential restructuring of the Notes and certain other potential changes to the Issuer’s capital structure (the “Indicative Proposal”) as disclosed in the Schedule 13D/A filed by Viking Global Investors LP with the SEC on May 16, 2023. The Indicative Proposal contemplates that the Issuer’s outstanding $630 million principal amount of Notes would be exchanged for a combination of newly issued Ordinary Shares and newly issued senior secured notes with a lesser principal amount than the Notes so exchanged, thereby reducing the Issuer’s outstanding indebtedness and resulting in the holders of the Notes holding a substantial percentage of the Ordinary Shares outstanding following the exchange. The Indicative Proposal also contemplates (i) that the Issuer would issue new warrants to the Issuer’s existing shareholders, providing the existing shareholders with the right to acquire Ordinary Shares upon the Issuer meeting certain future equity valuation targets, and (ii) establishment of a new management incentive program to promote the retention and performance of key Issuer personnel. The material terms of the Indicative Proposal were reviewed by all Parties to the Cooperation Agreement (including D1 Master) prior to its submission. Under the Cooperation Agreement, each of the Parties has agreed that it shall not support, either directly or indirectly, consent to, or otherwise vote in favor of, any restructuring transaction that is not supported by the Parties holding a majority of the Notes held by all Parties. The Indicative Proposal remains subject to ongoing due diligence by the Parties and necessary approvals and may be revised or rescinded at any time depending on a variety of factors, including the nature and substance of any future discussions or negotiations between the Parties and their advisors and the Issuer and its advisors. There can be no assurance that the Indicative Proposal will be adopted in whole or in part by the Issuer and the Parties, or that discussions or negotiations with the Issuer relating to the Indicative Proposal, or similar proposals or counterproposals, will occur or will result in a restructuring of the Notes or any other changes to the Issuer’s capital structure. If discussions or negotiations are so commenced, they may result in outcomes that differ materially from those contemplated by the Indicative Proposal. The Indicative Proposal does not represent an offer to purchase or sell any securities. The Reporting Persons are not seeking or soliciting the consent of any other person with respect to, nor are they making any recommendation to any other person regarding the merits of, the Indicative Proposal. | |
