Item 7. Not applicable.

Item 8. Not applicable.

Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group.

(a) Although the Issuer, SoftBank Group Corp., Joseph Tsai, and each such shareholder’s Subordinate Shareholders (as defined therein), and, solely for limited purposes, Jack Yun Ma, are parties to an Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2021 (the “Amended Voting Agreement”), because SoftBank Group Corp. and certain of its affiliates no longer collectively own 15% or more of the Issuer’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, provisions of the Amended Voting Agreement relating to the nomination of directors as well as the voting of Ordinary Shares in favor of director nominees are no longer effective.

Accordingly, the Reporting Person no longer believes that it could be deemed to be members of a “group” under Section 13(d) of the Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and the other parties to the Voting Agreement. Further filings with respect to transactions in Ordinary Shares will continue to be filed, if required, by the Reporting Person in their individual capacity.

Item 10. Not applicable.
