Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Shares Rights and Preferences

Conversion

Each share of Series A-1 convertible preferred shares is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into such number shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment.

Each share of Series A-1 convertible preferred shares will automatically be converted into a share of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, subject to adjustment, immediately upon the occurrence of an initial public offering with a gross aggregate subscription with respect to new Ordinary Shares of greater than $50.0 million. The Ordinary Shares resulting from this conversion will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares at the time of conversion.

Anti-Dilution

If the Company issues equity securities, other than pursuant to a share option plan, the Company shall issue such number of Series A-1 convertible preferred shares to Pfizer as necessary to maintain Pfizer’s ownership interest of 18%, until the Company raises in excess of $30.0 million in equity, where any capital raised above this threshold is not subject to anti-dilution.

Dividends

The holders of shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred shares are entitled to receive dividends, of profits available for distribution as determined by the Company’s board of directors with the consent of the majority of the shareholders, payable on a pro rata, pari passu basis. No dividends have been declared by the Company’s board of directors.

Liquidation

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or return of capital (other than a conversion, redemption or purchase of shares) of the Company, the holders of the Series A-1 convertible preferred shares are entitled to receive a liquidation preference prior to any distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares in the amount $131 per share.

Voting Rights

The holders of the Series A-1 convertible preferred shares are entitled to one vote per share, unless the Series A-1 shares are convertible into a greater number of Ordinary Shares or the holders of Series A-1 convertible preferred shares are entitled to any anti-dilution shares, in which case the holders of Series A-1 convertible preferred shares are entitled to the number of votes that the holder would be entitled upon conversion to Ordinary Shares or after the issuance of the anti-dilution shares, respectively.

Redemption Rights

The Series A-1 convertible preferred shares are not mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder.

As of March 31, 2023, no preferred shares were issued and outstanding.
