We note your revised disclosures on page 191 indicating that all of the options granted under the 2020 Share Option Plan have been exercised for ordinary shares. However, your disclosures here indicate that half of the awards vest over a four-year service period while the other half vest in two equal installments if certain performance targets are met. Please revise here to clarify whether the vesting conditions for these awards changed and if so, when. Also, disclose when these awards vested and the amount of stock-based compensation expense incurred. To the extent such awards were not fully vested, disclose whether this plan includes repurchase provisions should the employee terminate their service prior to meeting the service or performance conditions. 3. You state that the fair value of the units granted on May 20, 2020 was $125.74 per unit. Please explain the increase in this value from the $17.26 value for units granted in September 2019 as disclosed on page F-38. Further, you disclose that $1,012,000 in share-based compensation expense will be recorded for 30,670 units granted on May 20, 2020. Therefore, it appears that such units have a fair value of approximately $33 per unit. Please explain this apparent inconsistency from the $125.74 per unit fair value as disclosed.
