176/264 Rule 701 Rule 701 generally allows a shareholder who was issued shares under a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our Company during the immediately preceding 90 days, to sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our Company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required by that rule to wait until 90 days after we become a reporting company before selling those shares under Rule 701. As of February 22, 2018, the holders of options exercisable for approximately 5,677,155 ordinary shares will be eligible to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 701. Following the completion of this registration, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S­8 under the Securities Act to register up to ordinary shares, in the aggregate, (i) issuable under our 2018 stock option and RSU programs and (ii) subject to outstanding stock options. The registration statement on Form S­8 will become effective automatically upon filing. Ordinary shares issued upon exercise of a share option or settlement of a RSU and registered pursuant to the Form S­8 registration statement will, subject to vesting provisions and Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to our affiliates, be available for sale in the open market immediately. 169
