also cover any additional ordinary shares which become issuable under the 2014 Employee Share Ownership and Option Plan (the

Explanatory
Note
This
Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers additional Ordinary Shares under the Registrant’s 2014 Employee Share Ownership
and Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The aggregate number of Ordinary Shares reserved and available for issuance under
the 2014 Plan is subject to an approved mechanism for annual increase each January 1, which began in January 2015, by an amount
equal to four percent of the number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the immediately preceding
December 31 or such lesser number of Ordinary Shares as determined by the Administrator (as defined in the Plan). Accordingly,
on January 1, 2020, the number of Ordinary Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan increased by 1,346,553 as
was further approved by our Board of Directors in its meeting held on March 25, 2020. This Registration Statement registers these
additional 1,346,553 Ordinary Shares. The additional Ordinary Shares are of the same class as other securities relating to the
2014 Plan for which the Registrant’s registration statement filed on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-232391) on June 27,
2019, on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-223232) on February 26, 2018, Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-219969) on August 14, 2017,
Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-210583) on April 4, 2016 and Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-202463) on March 3, 2015, is effective.
The information contained in the Registrant’s registration statements on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-232391), on Form
S-8 (Registration No. 333-223232), Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-219969), Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-210583) and Form S-8
(Registration No. 333-202463) is hereby incorporated by reference pursuant to General Instruction E.
