The securities reported in the table above include (i) 3,601,104 Ordinary Shares and (ii) 5,528,042 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of certain warrants (the “Warrants”) held of record by certain managed accounts (collectively, the “Accounts”) for which the Investment Manager serves as investment manager.
