Item 4.
Ownership
(a)
Amount beneficially owned:
The information required by this item with respect to each Reporting Person is set forth in Rows 5 through 9 and 11 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13G and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person. The share amounts and ownership percentages reported (i) are based on 71,168,820 Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the closing of the Offering, as disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement (which number assumes no exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants) and (ii) give no effect to the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants held by Hexstone, which are subject to a Blocker.
Hexstone holds 7,110,764 Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for up to 570,505 Ordinary Shares, none of which are deemed beneficially owned by Hexstone as a result of triggering the Blocker in the Pre-Funded Warrants, which prohibits Hexstone from exercising the Pre-Funded Warrants for Ordinary Shares if, as a result of such exercise, the holder thereof, together with its affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the total number of Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such exercise.
Consequently, Hexstone is the beneficial owner of 7,110,764 Ordinary Shares (the "Shares"). Hexstone has the power to dispose of and the power to vote the Shares beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by its managing member, Mr. O'Neil. Mr. O'Neil does not directly own the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, Mr. O'Neil may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares which are beneficially owned by Hexstone.
(b)
Percent of class:
