(a)

The Annual Report on Form 20-F of the Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Commission on April 27, 2023; and

(b)

The description of the Registrant’s ordinary shares contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on September 15, 2017, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.

All documents that the Registrant subsequently files pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, each of the Registrant’s directors, in exercising his or her powers or performing his or her duties, is required to act honestly and in good faith and in what the director believes to be in the Registrant’s best interests, is required to exercise his or her powers as a director for a proper purpose, may not act, or agree to the Registrant acting, in a manner that contravenes the British Virgin Island Business Companies Act, 2004 as amended from time to time (the “BVI Act”) or the Registrant’s memorandum and articles of association, and is required to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances (taking into account, but without limitation, the nature of the company, the nature of the decision; and the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him or her).

The Registrant’s memorandum and articles of association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Registrant is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Registrant (and any other persons to which the Registrant is permitted to provide indemnification under applicable law) through provisions in the memorandum and articles of association, agreements with such directors, officers agents or other persons, vote of disinterested directors or otherwise, subject only to limits created by the BVI Act.

The Registrant’s memorandum and articles of association provide that the Registrant shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings by any person who: (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Registrant; or (b) is or was, at the request of the Registrant, serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; provided that such indemnification shall not apply unless the person claiming such indemnification acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be the best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

The Registrant may pay any expenses, including legal fees, incurred by any such person in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings in advance of the final disposition of the proceedings. If a person to be indemnified has been successful in defense of any proceedings referred to above, the person is entitled to be indemnified against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the proceedings.

The Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director, an officer or a liquidator of the Registrant, or who at the request of the Registrant is or was serving as a director, an officer or a liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not we have or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in our memorandum and articles of association.

DESPEGAR.COM, CORP. AMENDED AND RESTATED

2016 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

The purpose of this Plan is to offer persons selected by the Company an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by acquiring Shares of the Company’s Stock. The Plan provides for the grant of Awards. Options granted under the Plan may be ISOs intended to qualify under Code Section 422 or NSOs which are not intended to so qualify.

Capitalized terms are defined in Section 11.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION.

(a) Committees of the Board of Directors. The Plan may be administered by one Committee. The Committee shall consist, as required by applicable law, of one or more members of the Board of Directors who have been appointed by the Board of Directors. The Committee shall have such authority and be responsible for such functions as the Board of Directors has assigned to it, subject to compliance with applicable law and the Company’s M&As. If the Committee has not been appointed, the Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a reference to the Committee (if any) to whom the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function.

(b) Authority of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, with respect to the terms and conditions of Awards granted to Participants outside the United States, the Board of Directors may vary from the provisions of the Plan to the extent it determines it necessary and appropriate to do so; provided that it may not vary from those Plan terms requiring stockholder approval pursuant to Section 10(d) below to the extent required by applicable law. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board of Directors shall be final and binding on all Participants and all persons deriving their rights from a Participant.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY.

(a) General Rule. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Awards. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.

(b) Ten-Percent Stockholders. A person who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless (i) the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant and (ii) such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Date of Grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Code Section 424(d) shall be applied.

SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

(a) Basic Limitation. Not more than 6,411,777 Shares may be issued under the Plan, subject to Subsection (b) below and Section 8(a).¹ Up to 4,861,777 Shares may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs. The number of Shares that are subject to Awards under the Plan may not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

¹	Please refer to Exhibit A for a schedule of the initial share reserve and any subsequent increases in the reserve.

(b) Additional Shares. In the event that Shares previously issued under the Plan are redeemed by, surrendered to or otherwise reacquired by the Company,such Shares shall be added to the number of Shares then available for issuance under the Plan. In the event that an outstanding Award expires for any reason or is cancelled before being exercised or settled in full, the unexercised or unsettled Shares subject to such Award shall be added to the number of Shares then available for issuance under the Plan. In the event that Shares that otherwise would have been issuable under the Plan are withheld by the Company in payment of the Exercise Price or withholding taxes, such Shares shall remain available for issuance under the Plan.

SECTION 5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

(a) Award Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Participant and the Company. The Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan and that the Board of Directors deems appropriate from time to time for inclusion in an Award Agreement. The provisions of the various Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b) Number of Shares. Each Award Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8. The Award Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO.

(c) Exercise Price. Each Award Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant, and in the case of an ISO a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Exercise Price shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7. This Subsection (c) shall not apply to an Option granted pursuant to an assumption of, or substitution for, another option in a manner that complies with Code Section 424(a) (whether or not the Option is an ISO).

(d) Exercisability. Each Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. No Option shall be exercisable unless the Participant (i) has delivered an executed copy of the Award Agreement to the Company or (ii) otherwise agrees to be bound by the terms of the Award Agreement. The Board of Directors shall determine the exercisability provisions of the Award Agreement at its sole discretion.

(e) Basic Term. The Award Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years from the Date of Grant, and in the case of an ISO, a shorter term may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to expire.

(f) Termination of Service (Except by Death). If a Participant’s Service terminates, other than due to the Participant’s death, then the Participant’s Options shall expire on the earliest of the following dates (unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement):

(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (e) above;

(ii) In case of termination without Cause by the Company, other than due to Disability, the date three (3) months after the termination of the Participant’s Service or such earlier or later date as the Board of Directors may determine;

(iii) In case of termination for Cause by the Company or voluntary resignation by the Participant, the date that is twenty (20) calendar days after the termination of the Participant’s Service or such earlier or later date as the Board of Directors may determine; or

(iv) The date six (6) months after the termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of Disability (if permitted by applicable law), or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine.

The Participant may exercise all or part of the Participant’s Options at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Participant’s Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Participant’s Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination). The balance of such Options which are not vested and exercisable shall lapse when the Participant’s Service terminates. In the event that the Participant dies after the termination of the Participant’s Service but before the expiration of the Participant’s Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Participant by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Participant’s Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Participant’s Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination).

(g) Leaves of Absence. For purposes of Subsection (f) above, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Participant is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).

(h) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while the Participant is in Service, then the Participant’s Options shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:

(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (e) above; or

(ii) The date 12 months after the Participant’s death, or such earlier or later date as the Board of Directors may determine (but in no event earlier than six months after the Participant’s death).

All or part of the Participant’s Options may be exercised at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Participant by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Participant’s death (or became exercisable as a result of the death) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Participant’s death (or vested as a result of the Participant’s death). The balance of such Options which are not vested and exercisable shall lapse when the Participant dies.

(i) Restrictions on Transfer of Options. An Option shall be transferable by the Participant only by (i) a beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to one or more members of the Participant´s Family Member or to a trust established by the Participant for the benefit of the Participant and/or one or of the Participant´s Family Members, provided in either case that the Transferee(s) agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. An ISO may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

(j) No Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant, or a transferee of a Participant, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Participant’s Option until such person files a notice of exercise, pays the Exercise Price and satisfies all applicable withholding taxes pursuant to the terms of such Option.

(k) Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price (if applicable). The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Participant, impair the Participant’s rights or increase the Participant’s obligations under such Option.

(l) Company’s Right to Cancel Certain Options. Any other provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right at any time to cancel an Option that was not granted in compliance with Rule 701 under the Securities Act. Prior to cancelling such Option, the Company shall give the Participant not less than 30 days’ notice in writing. If the Company elects to cancel such Option, it shall deliver to the Participant consideration with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Option as of the time of the cancellation over (ii) the Exercise Price of such Option. The consideration may be delivered in the form of cash or cash equivalents, in the form of Shares, or a combination of both. If the consideration would be a negative amount, such Option may be cancelled without the delivery of any consideration.

SECTION 6. OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant Awards of Shares, Awards of restricted Shares, Awards of restricted stock units and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on the Fair Market Value of, Shares (“Other Share-Based Awards”). Such Other Share-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, the right to receive one or more Shares (or the equivalent cash value of such Shares) upon the completion of a specified period of Service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Other Share-Based Awards may be granted alone or in addition to any other Awards granted under the Plan and also may be granted as matching Awards in connection with a Participant’s purchase of Shares under the Plan or under any other plan maintained by the Company, or pursuant to open market purchases. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine: (i) to whom and when Other Share-Based Awards will be made (subject to the eligibility requirements set forth under Section 3 hereof); (ii) the number of Shares to be awarded under (or otherwise related to) such Other Share-Based Awards; (iii) whether such Other Share-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares; and (iv) all other terms and conditions of such Other Share-Based Awards (including, without limitation, the vesting provisions thereof, any required payments to be received from Participants and other provisions ensuring that all Shares so awarded and issued shall be fully paid and non-assessable).

SECTION 7. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.

(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan in respect of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7. In addition, the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may also permit payment in the case of Option exercises through any of the methods described in (b) through (f) below.

(b) Promissory Note. All or a portion of the Exercise Price (as the case may be) of Shares issued under the Plan may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note. The Shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors (at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such note, as well as the terms and conditions of such related pledge of the Shares.

(c) Surrender of Stock. All or any part of the Exercise Price may be paid by surrendering, or (to the extent permitted by the Board of Directors) attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are already owned by the Participant. Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date when the Option is exercised. Such surrender shall be in writing and signed by the person holding the Share or Shares.

(d) Exercise/Sale. If the Stock is publicly traded, all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

(e) Net Exercise. An Option may permit exercise through a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined by the Board of Directors as of the exercise date) that does not exceed the aggregate Exercise Price or the sum of the aggregate Exercise Price plus all or a portion of the

minimum amount required to be withheld under applicable tax law (with the Company accepting from the Participant payment of cash or cash equivalents to satisfy any remaining balance of the aggregate Exercise Price and, if applicable, any additional withholding obligation not satisfied through such reduction in Shares); provided that to the extent Shares subject to an Option are withheld in this manner, the number of Shares subject to the Option following the net exercise will be reduced by the sum of the number of Shares withheld and the number of Shares delivered to the Participant as a result of the exercise.

(f) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that an Award Agreement so provides, the Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan may be paid in any other form permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

(a) General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a reclassification, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, proportionate adjustments shall automatically be made in each of (i) the number and kind of Shares available for future grants under Section 4; (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities or property covered by each outstanding Award; (iii) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option; (iv) any redemption or other repurchase price that applies to Shares granted under the Plan pursuant to the terms of a Company redemption or other repurchase right under the applicable Award Agreement; and/or (v) any other affected terms of any Award. In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a recapitalization, a spin-off, or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in one or more of the items listed in clauses (i) through (v) above. The manner of any adjustments made pursuant to this Section 8(a) shall be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan as a result of an adjustment under this Section 8(a) (and any fractions that would otherwise arise shall be rounded down or up to the nearest whole number of Shares), although the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional Shares.

(b) Corporate Transactions. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s stock or assets, all Shares acquired under the Plan and all Awards outstanding on the effective date of the transaction shall be treated in the manner described in the definitive transaction agreement (which shall include for this purpose any plan of merger or consolidation or arrangement, and any scheme documents in respect of a scheme of arrangement, binding upon the Company or, in the event the transaction does not entail a definitive agreement to which the Company is party or otherwise bound, in the manner determined by the Board of Directors in its capacity as administrator of the Plan, with such determination having final and binding effect on all parties), which agreement or determination need not treat all Awards (or all portions of an Award) in an identical manner. The treatment specified in the transaction agreement or as determined by the Board of Directors may include one or more of the following alternatives with respect to each outstanding Option:

(i) Continuation of the Award by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation).

(ii) Assumption of the Award by the surviving corporation or its parent.

(iii) Substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of equivalent options for such outstanding Award (including but not limited to an option to acquire the same consideration paid to the holders of Shares in the transaction).

(iv) Cancellation of the Award and a payment to the Participant with respect to each Share subject to the portion of the Award that is vested as of the transaction date equal, in the case of Options, to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Board of Directors in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a share of Stock as a result of the transaction, over (B) the per-Share Exercise Price of the Option (such excess, the “Spread”). Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or its parent having a value equal to the Spread. In addition, any escrow,

holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the transaction agreement may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of Stock. If the Spread applicable to an Option is zero or a negative number, then the Option may be cancelled without making a payment to the Participant.

(v) Cancellation of the Award without the payment of any consideration; provided that the Participant shall be notified of such treatment and given an opportunity to exercise the Option (to the extent the Option is vested or becomes vested as of the effective date of the transaction) during a period of not less than five (5) business days preceding the effective date of the transaction, unless (A) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of the transaction and (B) such shorter period still offers the Participant a reasonable opportunity to exercise the Option. Any exercise of the Option during such period may be contingent upon the closing of the transaction.

(vi) Suspension of the Participant’s right to exercise the Option during a limited period of time preceding the closing of the transaction if such suspension is administratively necessary to permit the closing of the transaction.

(vii) Termination of any right the Participant has to exercise the Option prior to vesting in the Shares subject to the Option (i.e., “early exercise”), such that following the closing of the transaction the Option may only be exercised to the extent it is vested.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Board of Directors has discretion to accelerate, in whole or part, the vesting and exercisability, as applicable, of an Award in connection with a corporate transaction covered by this Section 8(b).

(c) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 8, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend, (iii) the authorization or issuance at any time of any additional class or classes of stock, or (iv) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Except as set forth under Section 8(a), any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price, as applicable, of Shares subject to an Award. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Securities Law Requirements. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the Board of Directors, the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded. The Company shall not be liable for a failure to issue Shares as a result of such requirements.

(b) No Retention Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any right or Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary employing or retaining the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

(c) Treatment as Compensation. Any benefit that is given or deemed to be given to an individual under this Plan shall not be considered a part of his or her compensation for purposes of calculating contributions, accruals or benefits under any other plan or program that is maintained or funded by the Company or a Subsidiary.

(d) Governing Law. The Plan and all options, sales and grants under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State.

(e) Conditions and Restrictions on Shares. Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to such forfeiture conditions, rights of redemption or other repurchase, rights of first refusal, other transfer restrictions and such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. In addition, Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to conditions and restrictions imposed either by applicable law or by Company policy, as adopted from time to time, designed to ensure compliance with applicable law or laws with which the Company determines in its sole discretion to comply including in order to maintain any statutory, regulatory or tax advantage.

(f) Tax Matters.

(i) As a condition to the grant, issuance, vesting, purchase, exercise or transfer of any Award, or Shares issued pursuant to any Award, granted under this Plan, the Participant shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require or permit for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such event.

(ii) Unless otherwise expressly set forth in an Award Agreement, it is intended that Awards granted under the Plan shall be exempt from Code Section 409A, and any ambiguity in the terms of an Award Agreement and the Plan shall be interpreted consistently with this intent. To the extent an Award is not exempt from Code Section 409A (any such award, a “409A Award”), any ambiguity in the terms of such Award and the Plan shall be interpreted in a manner that to the maximum extent permissible supports the Award’s compliance with the requirements of that statute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary permitted under the Plan, in no event shall a modification of an Award not already subject to Code Section 409A be given effect if such modification would cause the Award to become subject to Code Section 409A unless the parties explicitly acknowledge and consent to the modification as one having that effect. A 409A Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Board of Directors from time to time in order for it to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” to an individual who is considered a “specified employee” (as each term is defined under Code Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to Section 409A(a)(1). In addition, if a transaction subject to Section 8(b) constitutes a payment event with respect to any 409A Award, then the transaction with respect to such Award must also constitute a “change in control event” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) to the extent required by Code Section 409A.

(iii) Neither the Company nor any member of the Board of Directors shall have any liability to a Participant in the event an Award held by the Participant fails to achieve its intended characterization under applicable tax law.

SECTION 10. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS; STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL.

(a) Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein as amended and restated as of April 26, 2023, shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Registration of Additional Shares of the Company

We have acted as special legal counsel in the British Virgin Islands to the Company in connection with its filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) of an additional 2,750,000 ordinary shares without par value of the Company (the “Additional Common Shares”).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Registration Statement. We have also reviewed the certificate of incorporation of the Company dated February 10, 2017, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company filed with the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Corporate Affairs and effective on September 18, 2020, a company search as obtained from the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Corporate Affairs on or around the date of this opinion, written resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Company dated 26 April 2023 (the “Board Resolutions”), a certificate of good standing issued by the British Virgin Islands Registrar of Corporate Affairs and dated 28 April 2023, the books and records of the Company maintained by Conyers Corporate Services (BVI) Limited in its capacity as assistant company secretary of the Company as of the date hereof, and such other documents, and made such enquiries as to questions of law, as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

In giving this opinion, we have relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified: (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified; and including any copies of electronic documents and correspondence (including any e-mail correspondence)) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken; (b) the accuracy and completeness of all factual

representations made in the Registration Statement, the Board Resolutions and the other documents reviewed by us; (c) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the British Virgin Islands, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; (d) that the Board Resolutions have been validly passed and approved and that they (and the resolutions, matters and transactions approved or otherwise contemplated therein) have not been subsequently revoked, altered or otherwise affected and remain in full force and effect as of the date hereof; and (e) that there is no contractual or other prohibition (other than as arising under British Virgin Islands law) binding on the Company prohibiting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Registration Statement.

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the British Virgin Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the British Virgin Islands. This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of filing the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon by any person in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing we are of the opinion that:

The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and is in good standing (which good standing means solely that the Company has not failed to make any filing with any British Virgin Islands governmental authority or to pay any British Virgin Islands government fee or tax which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies of the British Virgin Islands and thereby cease to exist under the laws of the British Virgin Islands).

The Additional Common Shares have been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon the issue and delivery of such Additional Common Shares against payment therefor in full in accordance with the terms of the Registration Statement, such Additional Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary shares of the Company (which non-assessability means solely that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders of such ordinary shares in connection with the issue thereof).

Except as explicitly stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations or warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in any of the documents or instruments cited in this opinion or otherwise with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion. This opinion is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Act or that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

This opinion letter is rendered as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any facts, circumstances, events or developments that may be brought to our attention after the effective date of the Registration Statement that may alter, affect or modify the opinions expressed herein..

Yours faithfully,

/s/ Conyers Dill & Pearman
