The selling shareholder ordinary shares and the share purchase right were issued and sold to the selling shareholders in a private placement pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 30, 2026. The maximum aggregate offering price is an estimate made pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee. The price per share and maximum aggregate offering price are based on the average of the high and low prices of the registrant's ordinary shares on November 6, 2026, as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act, the registrant is also registering an indeterminate number of additional ordinary shares issuable by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction.</ffd:OfferingNote>

The ordinary shares and preferred shares registered hereunder include rights to acquire ordinary shares or preferred shares of the Registrant under any shareholder rights plan then in effect, if applicable, under the terms of any such plan. The proposed maximum per security and aggregate offering prices per class of securities will be determined from time to time by the Registrant in connection with the issuance by the Registrant of the securities registered hereunder and are not specified as to each class of security. Separate consideration may or may not be received for securities that are issuable on exercise, conversion, or exchange of other securities, or that are issued in units.
