to the terms of the Loan Amendment, if the Company borrows the Final Tranche, it must issue to the Lenders, or their designees, one or more warrants to purchase a number of the Company’s ordinary shares equal to an aggregate of (i)0.10% of its ordinary shares outstanding following such issuance on a fully diluted basis (inclusive of the ordinary shares underlying all such warrants issued), at an exercise price equal to 110% of the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the date immediately preceding the Final Tranche borrowing date and (ii)0.25% of its ordinary shares outstanding following such issuance on a fully diluted basis (inclusive of the ordinary shares underlying all such warrants issued), at an exercise price equal to 140% of the 10-day volume weighted-average price (VWAP) per share of the Company’s ordinary shares of the consecutive 10-trading-day period ending on the trading day prior to the Final Tranche borrowing date.

The foregoing description of the Loan Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Amendment, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the fiscal year quarter ended June30, 2018.
