²     It is expected, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, that investors unrelated to the Reporting Persons will acquire a significant percentage of the beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares following consummation of certain transactions disclosed by the Issuer in a Form 6-K on May 30, 2024 and another Form 6-K on June 17, 2024.  Once these transactions are consummated, it is expected that the beneficial ownership of each Reporting Person may be substantially diluted in the near future.  At the time any such dilution is publicly disclosed, the Reporting Persons expect to promptly amend this Schedule 13D.
