 are subject to these corporate governance requirements. GCL is deemed to be an “emerging growth company” and, as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, GCL Ordinary Shares may be less attractive to investors. GCL is deemed to be an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it intends to take advantage of some of the exemptions from reporting requirements that are available to emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of GCL’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. GCL may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until it is no longer an emerging growth company. GCL will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) in which GCL has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which GCL is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of GCL Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of its last fiscal year, and (2) the date on which GCL has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

If some investors find GCL Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for GCL Ordinary Shares and GCL’s share price may be more volatile. 28 Risks Related to Our Securities We cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for the Ordinary Shares.
