However, Nasdaq Global Market rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. We follow our home country practices and have relied on and intend to continue to rely on some of the exemptions provided by the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules to a foreign private issuer, including exemptions from the requirements to have:\n\n●\n\nshareholder approval for certain events, including the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans and arrangements and certain transactions involving issuances of a 20% or more interest in our company;\n\n●\n\nmajority of independent directors on our board of directors;\n\n●\n\nan annual general meeting of shareholders;\n\n●\n\nonly independent directors being involved in the selection of director nominees and determination of executive officer compensation; and\n\n●\n\nregularly scheduled executive sessions of independent directors.\n\nAs a result of our reliance on the corporate governance exemptions available to foreign private issuers, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our American Depositary Shares—We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.”"}
