 the Company, but we are not able to predict any future EU actions. 

On October 8, 2021, the OECD announced an accord endorsing and providing an implementation plan for a global minimum tax rate of at least 15% for large multinational corporations on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, known as “Pillar Two.”  While the Company is not currently aware of any definitive actions being taken in the Cayman Islands to implement a minimum tax, in Ireland, a bill implementing Pillar Two was signed into law on December 18, 2023, including an “undertaxed profit rule” that will come into effect in 2025.  In the United Kingdom, legislation implementing an “undertaxed profit rule” under Pillar Two with effect as of 2025 was included in the Finance Bill 2024-2025. If the Cayman Islands does not adopt a minimum tax, the undertaxed profits rule may allow Irish or United Kingdom tax authorities to collect more tax from our Irish or United Kingdom companies.  The global minimum tax rules implemented in different jurisdictions (including the undertaxed profit rule) would apply to overseas profits of multinational firms with annual revenue of more than €750 million. While these global minimum tax rules are not expected to apply to the Company as currently proposed and being implemented in jurisdictions applicable to the Company’s operations, due to the Company’s revenues currently falling below the proposed annual revenue threshold, adjustments to the threshold or continued growth of the Company’s revenues could impact the Company in future periods.  Further, even if the Company did eventually meet the applicable threshold due to continued revenue growth or otherwise, then given the size and structure of the Company, the Company may be eligible to meet an initial phase transitional safe harbor provided for in the model rules of the accord (and incorporated into the Irish and UK legislation), which provides relief from taxation under the accord for a period of up to five additional years after the Company comes within the scope of the rules.
