Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Between April 2006 and December 2016 MVIL acquired an aggregate of 91,167,065 Series A convertible preferred shares of the Issuer (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $199,999,990 and an aggregate of 65,779,975 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $29,600,000. All such shares were acquired with working capital.

In December 2009, in connection with the purchase of Series A Preferred Shares, the Issuer issued MVIL a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 333,333 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer at an exercise price of $0.03 per share. In November 2016, MVIL fully exercised this warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $9,999.99. All such shares were acquired with working capital.

In January 2013, MVIL acquired share options to purchase 600,000 Ordinary Shares, which are issuable upon the exercise of such option within 60 days after December 31, 2018. If such options are exercised, all such shares will be acquired with working capital.

In January 2018, the Issuer entered into a note exchange agreement with MVIL pursuant to which MVIL exchanged outstanding convertible notes for a new convertible note in the principal amount of $52,400,000 representing the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding convertible notes plus accrued interest (the “January 2018 Shareholder Note”). In October 2018, the Issuer entered into a note purchase agreement with MVIL pursuant to which the Issuer issued to MVIL three notes in the aggregate principal amount of $30,000,000 in October 2018, December 2018 and January 2019, on substantially the same terms as the January 2018 Shareholder Note (collectively with the January 2018 Shareholder Note, the “2018 Shareholder Notes”). The 2018 Shareholder Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $82,400,000 converted upon the closing of the initial public offering into 108,821,182 Ordinary Shares. All such shares were acquired with working capital.

On February 20, 2019, upon the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering, MVIL’s Series A Preferred Shares were converted into Ordinary Shares on a 1-for-1 basis.

On February 20, 2019, in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, ETIL acquired 1,627,810 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), which represent 19,533,720 Ordinary Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $19,533,720. Such ADSs were acquired with working capital.

On February 20, 2019, in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, SPIL acquired 3,255,523 ADSs, which represent 39,066,276 Ordinary Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $39,066,276. Such ADSs were acquired with working capital.

On December 28, 2018, the Issuer effected a three-for-one reverse share split of its issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and share options and a proportional adjustment to the existing conversion ratios for the Series A Preferred Shares through a consolidation of its share capitalization. All share figures set forth herein reflect such reverse share split.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The securities reported herein were acquired solely for investment purposes with the aim of increasing the value of the investment and the Issuer.
