 information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus supplement and should be read with the same care.
When we update the information contained in documents that have been incorporated by reference by making future filings with the SEC, the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is considered to be automatically updated
and superseded. In the case of a conflict or inconsistency between information contained in this prospectus supplement and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information contained in the
document that was filed later. We incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus the 2024 Form 20-F. Due to a rendering error in the
