What do I do if my shares are held in “street name”?

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or
by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.”
The proxy materials have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares,
the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record on how to
vote your shares by following their instructions for voting. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how
to submit your voting instructions.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for
any business to be conducted. The holders of a majority in voting power of the Company’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding
and entitled to vote, present electronically or represented by proxy constitutes a quorum. If you sign and return your paper proxy card
or authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even
if you abstain or fail to vote as indicated in the proxy materials. Broker non-votes will also be considered present for the purpose
of determining whether there is a quorum for the Annual Meeting.

What are “broker non-votes”?

A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares
held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker
has not received voting instructions from the shareholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to
vote the shares at their discretion. Proposal 1 is considered a non-discretionary matter, and a broker will lack the authority to vote
uninstructed shares at their discretion on such proposals. Proposal 2 is considered a discretionary matter, and a broker will be permitted
to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.
