On June 8, 2023, at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Company’s shareholders voted to (1) authorize and approve the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger required to be filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies (the “Plan of Merger”) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger, including the Merger and (2) approve on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation to be paid or become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the consummation of the Merger.
