RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risk. Before making a decision to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the following risks and those
included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, and any updates to those risk factors in our reports on Form 6-K incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial
circumstances. Although we discuss key risks in our discussion of risk factors, new risks may emerge in the future, which may prove to be significant. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Risks Related to this Offering
The issuance of ordinary shares in connection with the exercise of warrants will dilute the ownership interest of the holders of our ordinary shares and may
materially affect the trading price of our ordinary shares.
As of June 30, 2024, we had outstanding 7,187,500 warrants to purchase an equivalent
number of our ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50 per ordinary share. To the extent that warrant holders elect to exercise their warrants, substantial amounts of our ordinary shares may be issued in the future. We cannot quantify the
number of ordinary shares that will be issued in connection with the exercise, if any. However, the issuance of ordinary shares pursuant to such exercise could result in substantial dilution of the ownership interests of holders of our ordinary
shares and could materially affect the trading price of our ordinary shares.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your
investment.
If you purchase our securities in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution in an amount equal to the difference between the public
offering price and our net tangible book value per share after this offering. See Dilution.
Future sales, or the possibility of future sales, of
a substantial number of our ordinary shares could adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares and dilute shareholders.
Future sales of a substantial
number of our ordinary shares, or the perception that such sales will occur, could cause a decline in the market price of our ordinary shares. If our existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of ordinary shares in the public market, or the
market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our ordinary shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of equity securities in the future could be adversely affected.
Moreover, we have registered on registration statements on Form F-3 for the sale of shares held by certain of our shareholders
and have registered on registration statements on Form S-8 all ordinary shares that we may issue under our equity incentive plan. As a result, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon
issuance, subject to restrictions applicable to affiliates. If these additional shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline.
If we sell ordinary shares, convertible securities or other equity securities, existing shareholders may be diluted by such sales, and in certain cases new investors
could gain rights superior to those of our existing shareholders. We are currently party to a sales agreement with Leerink Partners LLC, pursuant to which we may sell our ordinary shares from time to time through an at-the-market equity offering program. We have filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC registering the offer and sale of our ordinary shares having an aggregate offering price of
$150 million under the program. Any sales of our ordinary shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, could have a negative impact on the trading price of our ordinary shares.
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use them effectively.
We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering as described in Use of Proceeds. However, our board of directors and our management retain
broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our ordinary shares. Our failure to apply these funds effectively
could result in financial losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
