 Investors must settle their trades executed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange through their brokers directly or through custodians. For an investor who has deposited their ordinary shares in their stock account or in their designated Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (HKSCC) participant’s stock account maintained with the HKSCC, settlement will be effected in the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS) established and operated by the HKSCC in accordance with the General Rules of the HKSCC and the HKSCC Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. For an investor who holds the physical certificates, settlement certificates and the duly executed transfer forms must be delivered to their broker or custodian before the settlement date. 
 Exchanges Between Shares Trading in Hong Kong and ADSs 
 In connection with the listing of our ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we have established a branch register of members in Hong Kong, which we refer to as the Hong Kong Share Register, which is maintained by our Hong Kong Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited. Our principal register of members, which we refer to as the Cayman share register, continues to be maintained by our principal share registrar, Maples Fund Services (Cayman) Limited. 
 All ordinary shares offered in our global offering in April 2021 are registered on the Hong Kong Share Register in order to be listed and traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As described in further detail below, holders of ordinary shares registered on the Hong Kong Share Register are able to exchange these shares into ADSs, and vice versa. 
 Our ADSs 
 ADSs representing our ordinary shares are traded on Nasdaq. Dealings in ADSs on Nasdaq are conducted in U.S. dollars. 
 ADSs may be held either: 
 

•   directly: (i) by having an American Depositary Receipt, or ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a specific number of ADSs registered in the holder’s name; or (ii) by having uncertified ADSs registered in the holder’s name; or
