Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all then-outstanding Equity Interests other than Company Warrants (but including, for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant and the New Warrant) as of immediately following the consummation

kept available solely for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The Company shall take all such actions as may be
reasonably necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not take any action that would cause the
number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to be less than the number of Ordinary Shares required to be reserved hereunder for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant.”
(d) Section 7(e) of the Warrant is hereby amended and restated as follows:
2
“(e) Maximum Percentage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holders shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant to the extent that
such exercise would result in the Holders together with any other “attribution parties” collectively beneficially owning in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of
Ordinary Shares in issue and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that (i) the Maximum Percentage shall automatically
increase to 9.99% if, at the time of such exercise, the Holders, together with any other “attribution parties,” file any Securities and Exchange Commission reports required as a result of such Holders and such other “attribution parties”
collectively beneficially owning in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares in issue outstanding and (ii) at any time, upon not less than 61 days written notice to the Company, the Holders may increase or decrease the
Maximum Percentage to any other percentage. For purposes of this Section 7(e), “attribution parties” means, the Holders, their respective affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares would be aggregated with the
Holders’ for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.”
3. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended as set forth in this Amendment, all terms and provisions of the Warrant shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
4. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to
any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of New York.
5. Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of
the United States of America or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.
Service of process, summons, notice or other document by certified or registered mail to such party’s address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties
hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or any proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and be different parties to this Amendment in separate counterparts, including by
way of electronic signature or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case
