Our Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a reverse share split-adjusted basis at the opening of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on or around Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

The reverse share split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares from approximately 450 million to approximately 18 million.
On August 28, 2024, the shareholders of the Company approved the reverse share split of the Ordinary Shares, at a ratio of 1-for-25.
