Item 4.

Ownership.

Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages hereto for each Reporting Person are incorporated herein by reference.

As of June 30, 2023, Antara Capital Master Fund LP (“Antara Master Fund”) directly holds 1,422,804 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and a certain managed account for which Antara Capital serves as investment manager (the “Managed Account”) directly holds 37,001 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

As of June 30, 2023, the Reporting Persons in the aggregate beneficially own approximately 8.0% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding, based on (i) 15,262,180 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer outstanding as of April 14, 2023 as reported in the Issuer’s Form 6-K, as amended, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2023, plus (ii) 3,024,194 Ordinary Shares issued on June 6, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 6-K, filed on June 6, 2023, amounting to a total of 18,286,374 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of June 6, 2023.

On February 21, 2023, Antara Master Fund and the Issuer had entered into that certain Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer had agreed, subject to certain conditions, to issue 219,420,000 Ordinary 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. Antara Master Fund and the Issuer later agreed to postpone the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

On June 2, 2023, Antara Master Fund and the Issuer agreed to enter into that certain Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement (the “A&R Exchange Agreement”) to amend and restate entirely the Exchange Agreement, which was not capable of being consummated. Pursuant to the A&R Exchange Agreement, the Issuer agreed (i) to issue 3,024,194 Ordinary Shares (the “A&R Exchange Shares”) to Antara Master Fund and (ii) to pay Antara Master Fund accrued and unpaid interest on the A&R Exchange Notes (as defined below) in exchange for $20,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes held by Antara Master Fund (the “A&R Exchange Notes”, and such exchange, the “A&R Exchange”). On June 6, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the parties consummated the A&R Exchange.

Under the A&R Exchange Agreement, for a one-year period following the Closing Date, Antara Master Fund has (a) agreed to waive all of its voting rights in respect of the A&R Exchange Shares and (b) agreed to not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, tender or otherwise dispose of the A&R Exchange Shares on a given trading day in an amount greater than 10% of the traded volume of the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on such trading day. No Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are subject to any other restriction on transfer.

In addition, Antara Master Fund and the Issuer agreed to terminate (i) the right of the Issuer to sell to Antara Master Fund, and the obligation of Antara Master Fund to purchase, up to an additional $25 million of Ordinary Shares prior to June 30, 2023 and (ii) the Issuer’s “call right” over certain Ordinary Shares held by Antara Master Fund, in each case, as set forth in that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2023, by and between the Issuer and Antara Master Fund, described in the Issuer’s Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, the Reporting Persons beneficially own $106,909,000 in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes. 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.

Antara Capital is the investment manager of Antara Master Fund and the Managed Account. Antara GP is the general partner of Antara Capital. Mr. Gulati is the sole member of Antara GP. Antara Capital, Antara GP and Mr. Gulati may be deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held directly by Antara Master Fund and the Managed Account.
