It should be noted that the allocation of the full number of Ordinary Shares that would derive from the exercise of the Warrants is purely theoretical, since in practice the offerees shall not be allotted the full number of exercise shares, but only the number of shares that reflects the amount of the monetary benefit embodied in the Warrants, as detailed below.
