In connection with the grant of these Warrants, the Company amended its Articles of Association to provide for the grant of these Warrants. Each Warrant confers the right to subscribe for one ordinary share of the Company and has an exercise price equal to US $254.57 per share, the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares as reported on the date of grant. Subject to earlier vesting upon the occurrence of certain exit events, 25% of the Warrants will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% will vest at a rate of 1/36th per month from one year after the date of grant, subject to continued service.

After giving effect to the grant of the Warrants described above, warrants to subscribe for an additional 1,524,443 shares of the Company remain available for future grant by the Company’s board of directors pursuant to the Company’s Articles of Association. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Articles of Association, which is included as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
