The mandatory convertible preferred shares will initially be convertible into an aggregate of up to 15,148,950 ordinary shares, subject to anti-dilution, make-whole and other adjustments, as set forth in the Statement of Rights.

Unless converted earlier in accordance with the terms of the Statement of Rights, each mandatory convertible preferred share will convert automatically on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be June 15, 2023, into between 1.0754 and 1.3173 ordinary shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments. The number of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume weighted average price per ordinary share over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to June 15, 2023.

Dividends on the mandatory convertible preferred shares will be payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company, or an authorized committee thereof, at an annual rate of 5.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per mandatory convertible preferred share, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in ordinary shares, or in any combination of cash and ordinary shares. If declared, dividends on the mandatory convertible preferred shares will be payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2020 and ending on, and including, June 15, 2023.

The ordinary shares will rank junior to mandatory convertible preferred shares with respect to the payment of dividends and amounts payable in the event of the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up of its affairs. Subject to certain exceptions, so long as any mandatory convertible preferred share remains outstanding, no dividend or distributions will be declared or paid on ordinary shares or any other class or series of share capital

ranking junior to the mandatory convertible preferred shares, and no ordinary shares or any other class or series shares ranking junior or on parity with the mandatory convertible preferred shares shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company or any of its subsidiaries unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of ordinary shares has been set aside for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding mandatory convertible preferred shares.

In addition, upon the Company's voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, each holder of mandatory convertible preferred shares will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference in the amount of $100.00 per mandatory convertible preferred share, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, whether or not declared, to, but excluding, the date fixed for liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, to be paid out of the Company's assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors and holders of the Company's share capital ranking senior to the mandatory convertible preferred shares as to distribution rights upon the Company's liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, and before any payment or distribution is made to holders of any class or series of share capital ranking junior to the mandatory convertible preferred shares as to distribution rights upon the Company's liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, including, without limitation, the ordinary shares.

The holders of the mandatory convertible preferred shares will not have voting rights except as described below and as specifically required by Jersey law from time to time.

Whenever dividends on any mandatory convertible preferred shares have not been declared and paid for the equivalent of six or more dividend periods, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a "nonpayment"), the authorized number of directors on the Company's board of directors will, at the next annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders as provided below, automatically be increased by two and the holders of record of the mandatory convertible preferred shares, voting together as a single class with holders of record of any and all other series of voting preferred shares (as defined below) then outstanding, will be entitled, at the next annual or at a special meeting of shareholders of the Company, to vote for the election of a total of two additional members of the board of directors ("preferred share directors"); provided that the election of any such directors will not cause the Company to violate the corporate governance requirements of NYSE (or any other exchange or automated quotation system on which its securities may be listed or quoted) that requires listed or quoted companies to have a majority of independent directors; and provided further that the board of directors shall, at no time, include more than two preferred Share directors.

In the event of a nonpayment, the holders of at least 25% of the mandatory convertible preferred shares and any other series of voting preferred shares may request that a special meeting of shareholders be called to elect such preferred share directors (provided that, to the extent permitted by the Company's memorandum and articles of association, if the next annual or a special meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be held within 90 days of the receipt of such request, the election of such preferred share directors will be included in the agenda for and will be held at such scheduled annual or special meeting of shareholders).
