Escrow Period The escrow period (“Escrow Period”) shall begin with the commencement of the Offering and shall terminate, in whole or in part, as applicable, upon the earlier to occur of the following:

Release of Escrow Securities (1) When an emerging issuer becomes an established issuer, the release schedule for its escrow securities changes.

Remaining escrow securities will be released in equal installments on the day that is 6 months, 12 months and 18 months after the listing date.
