 this Annual Report for a description of each director’s current term of office.

There are no arrangements or understanding between us and any of the members of our board of directors providing for benefits upon termination of their service.
 Committees of the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance
Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the Nasdaq permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of Nasdaq.
The committees of our board of directors consist of an audit committee, a remuneration committee, a nominations committee and a development committee. As permitted by home country practice, our remuneration and nominations committees may include non-independent directors. Each of these committees has the responsibilities described below. Our board of directors may also establish other committees from time to time to assist in the discharge of its responsibilities.
Audit Committee
The members of our audit committee are currently three of our non-executive directors, Adam George, Martin Mellish and Cyrille Leperlier. Each of these members is an “independent director” as such term is defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Mr. George serves as chair of the audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. George is a financial expert as contemplated by the rules of the SEC implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. After the filing of this Annual Report, Mr. George intends to resign as the audit committee chair and as a director of the Company, effective March 21, 2025. Mr. George’s anticipated departure is not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter related to our operations, policies or procedures (financial reporting, accounting or otherwise). Mr. Mellish intends to succeed Mr. George as audit committee chair upon Mr. George’s resignation, effective March 21, 2025. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mellish is an “audit committee financial expert” as contemplated by the rules of the SEC implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Our audit committee meets at least four times per year and oversees the monitoring of our internal controls, accounting policies and financial reporting and provides a forum through which our external auditors and independent registered public accounting firm reports. Our audit committee meets at least once a year with the external auditors and our independent registered public accounting firm without executive board members present. The audit committee is also responsible for overseeing the activities of the external auditors and our independent registered public accounting firm, including their appointment
