Investor agrees to buy and the Company agrees to sell to Investor such number of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, no par value

shelf registration statement on Form F-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-264579) (the “Registration Statement”).
The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June
13, 2022. A prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) will be filed with the Commission and delivered to the Investor
as required by law. The Shares are being self-underwritten and offered by the Company on a “best efforts” basis, with a price
equal to 80% of the average daily dollar volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A ordinary shares on the NASDAQ
Capital Market (as reported by Bloomberg) during the last 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the date hereof. The completion of the
purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place at a place and time (the “Closing Date”)
to be specified by the Company in accordance with Rule 15c6-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). Upon satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to closing set forth in the base prospectus contained in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus Supplement, at the Closing (i) the Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to the Company for the Shares to
be issued and sold to such Investor, by wire transfer of immediately available funds per wire instructions as provided on the signature
line below, and (ii) the Company shall cause the Shares to be delivered to the Investor (A) through the facilities of The Depository Trust
Company’s DRS system in accordance with the instructions set forth on the signature page attached hereto under the heading “DRS
Instructions,” or (B) if requested by the Investor on the signature page hereto or if the Company is unable to make the delivery
through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company’s DRS system, through the book-entry delivery of Shares on the books and
records of the Company’s transfer agent. If delivery is made by book entry on the books and records of the transfer agent, the Company
shall send written confirmation of such delivery to the Investor at the address indicated on the Signature Page hereof. No fractional
Shares shall be purchased and any excess funds representing fractional Shares shall be returned to the Investor. By payment of the Shares,
the Investor acknowledges receipt of the Registration Statement, any amendment to the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus Supplement,
the terms of which govern the investment in the Shares.
