The Company is pleased to offer you the opportunity to reduce the exercise price of your Original Warrants on the terms provided in this letter agreement, including as set forth on Annex A attached hereto (the “Amended 2021 Warrant”) and Annex B attached hereto (the “Amended 2022 Warrant” and, together with the Amended 2021 Warrant, the “Amended Warrants”). The Shares underlying the Original 2021 Warrant (“2021 Warrant Shares”) have been registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-262050), and the Shares underlying the Original 2022 Warrant (the “2022 Warrant Shares” and, together with the 2021 Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) have been registered with the SEC pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-266995) (collectively, the “Registration Statements”).

  Additional Warrant Exercise Limitation – The first paragraph of the Amended 2021 Warrant will provide for a restriction upon your ability as holder of the Amended 2021 Warrant to exercise the Amended 2021 Warrant until July 5, 2023 (the “Amended Exercise Date”).

 

  Your 2022 Original Warrant will be amended to provide for the following:
