June 1, 2020.
Please vote on the resolutions specified in the Notice of Annual General Meeting by appointing a proxy. A form of
proxy for use by holders of ordinary shares at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed. Due to the public health considerations that led to the Stay at Home Measures, in-person attendance by
shareholders and the general public will not be permitted at the Annual General Meeting. To ensure your vote is counted on the proposed resolutions, shareholders are strongly encouraged to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy through
the process described in this proxy statement.
For a proxy to be effective, it must be properly executed and dated and lodged
(together with a duly signed and dated power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is executed (or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or other authority)) at the offices of the Companys registrars, Equiniti
Limited of Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA, England (the Registrars) so as to be received by 14:00 p.m. local time on July 9, 2020. Each proxy properly tendered will, unless otherwise
directed by the shareholder, be voted FOR the nominees described in this Proxy Statement and FOR each other proposal described in the Proxy Statement, and at the discretion of the proxy holder(s) with regard to all other matters that may properly
come before the meeting.
The Company will pay all of the costs of soliciting proxies. We will provide copies of our proxy materials to
Citibank, N.A. as the depositary for our American Depositary Shares (the Depositary), brokerage firms, fiduciaries and custodians for forwarding to beneficial owners and will reimburse these persons for their costs of
forwarding these materials. We have engaged Okapi Partners to assist us in the distribution and solicitation of proxies for a fee of $15,000 plus expenses. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies; however, we will not pay them
additional compensation for any of these services. Proxies may be solicited by telephone, facsimile, or personal solicitation.
Impact of COVID-19
Ireland has published compulsory measures (the Stay at Home Measures) to address the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Among other things, the Stay at Home Measures prohibit travel of further than 20 kilometers away from your home and public gatherings of more than four people. The Stay at Home Measures are subject to
review by the Irish government on a periodic basis, and while they remain in force, the Company and its shareholders are required to comply with these measures in the holding of the Annual General Meeting.
As a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, the presence, in person or by proxy, of at least two shareholders
entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting would constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual General Meeting. However, consistent with the marketplace rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, we will seek to ensure that
