|
(4) |
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act based upon the price of $ 17.94
per ADS, which was the average of the high and low prices of the ADSs as reported on Nasdaq Global Select Market for February 11 , 2021.

(5) |
Comprises (i) 850,000 free shares authorized for grant by the executive board, (ii) 100,000 ordinary shares underlying BSAs authorized for grant by the executive board (a

(iv) 1,000,000 ordinary shares underlying stock options authorized for grant by the executive board , provided that the shareholders authorization relating to the grants described in this

shares registered here, the aggregate amount issuable upon such future issuances cannot exceed 1,850,000 ordinary shares.
