The Meeting is being called
for the following purposes:
The Company is currently
unaware of any other matters that will come before the Meeting. Should any other matters be properly presented at the Meeting, the persons

Board Recommendation
Our Board unanimously recommends
that you vote "FOR" each of the above proposals.
On April 24, 2023, we had 11,799,963
ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Each ordinary share outstanding as of the close of business on the record date, April 24, 2023,
is entitled to one vote upon each of the proposals to be presented at the Meeting. Under our amended and restated articles of association,
the quorum required for general meetings of shareholders is at least two shareholders present in person or by proxy (including by voting
deed) holding 25% or more of our voting rights. A meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum will be
adjourned to the following week on the same day, at the same time and at the same place. If a legal quorum was also not present at the
adjourned meeting a half an hour after the time scheduled for it, the members present will be considered a legal quorum.
Vote Required for Approval of the Proposals
The affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the voting power represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy and voting thereon (which excludes abstentions)
is necessary for the approval of each of the proposals. Apart from for the purpose of determining a quorum, broker non-votes will not
be counted as present and are not entitled to vote.
In addition, the approval
of Proposal 4 requires that either of the following two voting requirements be met as part of the approval by an ordinary majority of
shares present and voting thereon:
For purposes of Proposal 4,
a "controlling shareholder" is any shareholder that has the ability to direct the Company's activities (other than by
means of being a director or other office holder of the Company). A person is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if it holds or
controls, by itself or together with others, fifty percent (50%) or more of any one of the "means of control" of the Company.
"Means of control" is defined as any one of the following: (i) the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company or (ii)
the right to appoint directors of the Company or its chief executive officer.
A "personal interest"
of a shareholder, for purposes of Proposal 4, is a shareholder's personal interest in the approval of an act or a transaction of
the Company, including (i) the personal interest of any of his or her relatives (which includes for these purposes foregoing shareholder's
spouse, siblings, parents, grandparents, descendants, and spouse's descendants, siblings, and parents, and the spouse of any of
the foregoing); (ii) a personal interest of a corporation in which a shareholder or any of his/her aforementioned relatives serves as
a director or the chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of its issued share capital or its voting rights or has the right to appoint
a director or chief executive officer; and (iii) a personal interest of an individual voting via a power of attorney given by a third
party (even if the empowering shareholder has no personal interest), and the vote of an attorney-in-fact shall be considered a personal
interest vote if the empowering shareholder has a personal interest, and all with no regard as to whether the attorney-in-fact has voting
discretion or not. A personal interest excludes (i) a personal interest arising solely from the fact of holding shares in the Company
and (ii) a personal interest that does not derive from a relationship with a controlling shareholder.
A controlling shareholder
and a shareholder that has a personal interest are qualified to participate in the vote on Proposal 4; however, the vote of such shareholders
may not be counted towards the majority requirement described in the first bullet point above and will not count towards the 2% threshold
described in the second bullet point above.
A shareholder must inform
our Company before the vote (or if voting by proxy, indicate on the proxy card) whether or not such shareholder is a controlling shareholder
or has a personal interest, and failure to do so disqualifies the shareholder from participating in the vote on Proposal 4. If
you believe that you, or a related party of yours, is a controlling shareholder or possesses a personal interest and you wish to participate
in the vote on Proposal 4, you should indicate the existence of a personal interest on the enclosed proxy card (if applicable).
If you hold your shares in "street name" (i.e., shares that are held through a bank, broker or other
nominee) and believe that you are a controlling shareholder or possess a personal interest in the approval of Proposal 4, you may also
contact the representative managing your account.
shares by (i) voting online, (ii) completing and signing a proxy card or voting instruction form or (iii) attending the Meeting. If
you are a shareholder of record, that is, your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC ("AST"), these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. If you choose not to
vote online, the form of proxy card that has been mailed to you and that can be completed, signed and returned in the envelope that
was enclosed with it provides the primary means for authorizing the voting of your ordinary shares without attending the Meeting in
person. We will not be able to count a proxy card unless Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") receives it
