#### What is the quorum requirement?
Pursuant to the Current Articles, the quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders holding not less than an aggregate of one-tenth of all voting share capital of the Company in issue who are present in person, virtually, or by proxy and entitled to vote. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank, or other nominee) or if you vote electronically or in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. If there is no quorum, the holders of a majority of the shares present at the meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to another date.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person, virtually, or by proxy at a general meeting.

If you “Abstain” from voting, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals because abstentions do not count as a vote cast. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of the vote on these proposals.

#### What are “broker non-votes”?
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a U.S. brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution holding shares for a beneficial owner of ordinary shares does not vote the shares on a proposal because the U.S. brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution does not have discretionary voting power for a particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner regarding voting of their shares. U.S. brokerage firms, banks, and other nominees who hold shares for the accounts of their clients have discretionary authority to vote shares if specific instructions are not given with respect to routine matters. Although the determination of whether a brokerage firm, bank, or other financial institution will have discretionary voting power for a particular item is typically determined only after proxy materials are filed with the SEC, we expect that the ordinary resolutions to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP and KPMG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firms and auditors, respectively (Proposal 10
