Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for
general corporate purposes.
The new warrants described above were offered in a private
placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”) and, along with the ordinary shares issuable upon their
exercise, have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and may not
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or an applicable
exemption from such registration requirements. The Company has
agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the
resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the new
warrants.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of
these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other
jurisdiction.
