The filing notes that the subscription price of $0.25 per share represented a premium of approximately 281% to the closing price of the company's ordinary shares on October 27, 2026. The transaction was structured as a private placement under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The filing also states that the information contained in the Form 6-K, other than Exhibit 99.1, is incorporated by reference into the company's Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-296836).
