We have utilized the exemption afforded by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3) to follow home country practice in lieu of certain requirements, including (i) the independence requirements for compensation committee and nomination committee as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(d) and (e); (ii) the requirement that a majority of the Board must be independent as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(b)(1); (iii) the requirement to hold annual general meeting as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a); (iv) the requirement to obtain shareholders’ approval prior to a plan or other equity compensation arrangement is established or materially amended as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and (v) the requirement of shareholder approval for entering into any transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) equal to 20% or more of the outstanding share capital of the Company or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the ordinary shares as provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).
