(“Life Sciences”) and 667, L.P. (“667”, and together with Life Sciences, the “Funds”), subject to the limitation on conversion described below. The Series A Preferred are convertible into ADS on a 10 for 1 basis and have no voting rights. The information set forth below is based upon 296,348,903 shares of the Issuer outstanding as of July 30, 2018, including 293,569,971 shares held as ADS and 365,405 shares held as Ordinary Shares of the Issuer, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 1, 2018. Such percentage figures are calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

As a result of this restriction, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares. By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the Series A Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any other percentage not in excess of 19.9%. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. 

 

The 2047 Notes are only convertible to the extent that the holders thereof together with their affiliates would beneficially own, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, no more than 4.98% of the outstanding ADS of the Issuer after conversion (“2047 Notes Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). As a result of this restriction, the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the 2047 Notes by the above holders may change depending upon changes in the outstanding shares. By written notice to the Issuer, the Funds may from time to time increase or decrease the 2047 Notes Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to that Fund to any other percentage. Any such increase will not be effective until the 65th day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer. 

 

Pursuant to the management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, the Funds and their respective general partners, the Funds’ respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds’ investments and voting power over investments.
