Each ordinary share confers the right to cast one vote. Holders of ordinary shares become entitled to special voting shares upon registering their ordinary shares in the loyalty register (thereby blocking such shares from trading on the NYSE) and maintaining them registered in such register for an uninterrupted period of time as prescribed by the articles of association of the Company. Ordinary shares carry the right to receive dividends and each ordinary share carries the right to repayment of capital in the event of dissolution and liquidation, with the remaining equity after all debts are satisfied for the benefit of the holders of ordinary shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal value of their ordinary shares. Ordinary shares carry preemptive rights in proportion to the aggregate number of ordinary shares held upon the issuance of new ordinary shares or the granting of rights to subscribe for ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions. If ordinary shares have been registered in the loyalty register for an uninterrupted period of two years in the name of the same shareholder, such shares become eligible to receive Special Voting Shares A of the Company. The relevant shareholder will receive one Special Voting Share A of the Company per eligible ordinary share. Each of the Company Special Voting Share A of the Company will automatically be converted into a Special Voting Share B of the Company after holding a number of ordinary shares for an uninterrupted period of five years following the registration of such ordinary shares in the loyalty register, and each Special Voting Share B of the Company will automatically be converted into a Special Voting Share C of the Company after holding a number of ordinary shares for an uninterrupted period of ten years following the registration of such ordinary shares in the loyalty register. Each class of the Company Special Voting Shares will entitle the relevant holders to the following number of votes, in addition to the voting rights attached to each ordinary share: each Special Voting Share A of the Company confers the right to cast one vote, each Special Voting Share B of the Company confers the right to cast four votes and each Special Voting Share C of the Company confers the right to cast nine votes in the Company’s General Meeting. Holders of the Company’s Special Voting Shares will not receive any dividends in respect of the Special Voting Shares; however, the Company maintains a separate dividend reserve (which is recorded within other reserves in equity) for each class of the Special Voting Shares for the sole purpose of the allocation of the mandatory minimum profits that accrue to the Special Voting Shares. The following table summarizes the changes in the share capital, share premium and number of ordinary shares and special voting shares of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026:
