RedHill Biopharma (RDHL) Risk Analysis

Modifications to our current commercial products and any products we may commercialize or promote, or to our therapeutic candidates, after they have been cleared or approved for marketing, if at all, may require new regulatory clearance or approvals, in particular, if we seek or are required to expand our operations to jurisdictions outside of the U.S., and, if necessitated by a problem with a marketed product, may result in the recall or suspension of marketing of the previously approved and marketed product until clearances or approvals of the modified product are obtained. The FDA and other regulatory authorities require pharmaceutical product and device manufacturers to initially make and document a determination of whether or not a modification requires a new approval, supplement or clearance. A manufacturer may determine in conformity with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines that a modification may be implemented without pre-clearance by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. However, the FDA or other regulatory authorities can review a manufacturer's decision and may disagree. The FDA or other regulatory authorities may also, on their own initiative, determine that a new clearance or approval is required. If the FDA or other regulatory authorities require new clearances or approvals of any pharmaceutical product for which we or our partners, including development or commercialization partners, previously received marketing approval, we or our partners, including development or commercialization partners, may be required to recall and stop marketing such marketed product, which could require us or our partners, including development or commercialization partners, to redesign the marketed product and may cause a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our existing agreements impose, and we expect that future acquisition, commercialization or license agreements will impose, various diligence, milestone payments, royalty or other obligations on us. Such agreements require, or may in the future require, us to remit upfront and royalty payments or performance milestone payments, for commercial products that we in-license and to supply and delivery of know-how for products that we out-license. Any failure on our part to perform our obligations could lead to us losing rights under our licenses and could thereby adversely affect our business. If there is any conflict, dispute, disagreement or issue of non-performance between us and our third-party partners regarding our rights or obligations under the acquisition, commercialization or license agreements, including any such conflict, dispute or disagreement arising from our failure to satisfy payment obligations under any such agreement or to perform certain activities or to adhere to any contractual obligation, we may be liable to pay damages and incur costs, and it could lead to delays in the research, development, collaboration, and commercialization of our commercial products, products we may promote or commercialize in the future or our therapeutic candidates. The resolution of such disputes could require or result in litigation or arbitration, which could be time-consuming and expensive. Such third-party partner may have a right to terminate the affected license subject to a dispute. If our existing agreements are terminated, it would have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Other than Talicia, none of our therapeutic candidates have been cleared or approved for marketing, and none of our therapeutic candidates are currently being marketed or commercialized in any jurisdiction. Even if any of our therapeutic candidates or any product we may commercialize or promote receives regulatory clearance or approval, such as Talicia, or do not require regulatory clearance or approval, it may not become a commercially viable product. For example, even if we or our development or commercialization partners receive regulatory clearance or approval to market a therapeutic candidate or receive regulatory clearance or approval to commercialize or promote any product, the clearance or approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses or subject to labeling or marketing restrictions, which could materially and adversely affect their marketability and profitability. In addition, a new therapeutic candidate may appear promising at an early stage of development or after clinical trials but never reach the market, or it may reach the market but not result in sufficient product sales, if any. A therapeutic candidate or any product that we may commercialize or promote, may not result in commercial success for various reasons, including but not limited to: - difficulty in large-scale manufacturing, including yield and quality;- low market acceptance by physicians, healthcare payors, patients and the medical community as a result of lower demonstrated clinical safety or efficacy compared to products, prevalence, and severity of adverse side effects, or other potential disadvantages relative to alternative treatment methods;- insufficient or unfavorable levels of reimbursement from government or third-party payors, such as insurance companies, health maintenance organizations and other health plan administrators;- infringement on proprietary rights of others for which we or our development or commercialization partners have not received licenses;- incompatibility with other therapeutic candidates or marketed products;- other potential advantages of alternative treatment methods and competitive forces that may make it more difficult for us to penetrate a particular market segment, if at all;- ineffective marketing, sales, and distribution activities and support;- lack of significant competitive advantages over existing products on the market;- lack of cost-effectiveness or unfavorable pricing compared to other alternatives available on the market;- inability to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our business operations in accordance with our plan from the sale or marketing of a product in view of the economic arrangements that we have with commercialization or other partners;- changes to labels, indications or other regulatory requirements as they relate to the commercialization of our products;- inability to establish collaborations with third-party development or commercialization partners on acceptable terms, or at all, and our inability or unwillingness for cost or other reasons to commercialize the therapeutic candidates or any product we may commercialize or promote on our own; and - timing of market introduction of competitive products. Physicians, various other healthcare providers, patients, payors or the medical community, in general, may be unwilling to accept, utilize or recommend Talicia and any product we may commercialize or promote. If we are unable, either on our own or through third parties, to manufacture, commercialize or market Talicia, our proposed formulations, therapeutic candidates or any product we may commercialize or promote when planned, or to develop them commercially, we may not achieve any market acceptance or generate meaningful revenue.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA") applies to companies, such as us, with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The FCPA to which various of our operations may be subject generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In various jurisdictions, our operations require that we and third parties acting on our behalf routinely interact with government officials, including medical personnel who may be considered government officials for purposes of these laws because they are employees of state-owned or controlled facilities. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws; however, we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental or private corruption to some degree. As a result, the existence and implementation of a robust anti-corruption program cannot eliminate all risks that unauthorized reckless or criminal acts have been or will be committed by our employees or agents. If our employees or other agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe penalties. Violations of the FCPA, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

The FDA and similar foreign governmental authorities have the authority to require the recall of regulated products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. In the case of the FDA, the authority to require a recall must be based on a FDA finding that there is a reasonable probability that the product would cause serious injury or death. In addition, foreign governmental bodies have the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. Product manufacturers or owners, as applicable, may, on their own initiative, recall a product if any material deficiency in a product is found. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us or one of our collaborators, as applicable, could occur as a result of manufacturing errors, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues. Recalls of any of our products would divert managerial and financial resources and will have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. The FDA requires that certain classifications of recalls be reported to the FDA within 10 working days after the recall is initiated. Companies are required to maintain certain records of recalls even if they are not reportable to the FDA. We may initiate voluntary recalls involving our products in the future that we determine do not require notification of the FDA. If the FDA disagrees with our determinations, they could require us to report those actions as recalls. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers and negatively affect our sales. In addition, the FDA could take enforcement action for failing to report the recalls when they were conducted. Regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may have similar procedures that may subject any product we may commercialize or promote to limitations or withdrawal requests. In addition, the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities may determine that the chemistry, manufacturing and controls ("CMC") of marketed products that we develop, acquire or to which we acquire commercialization rights, such as our current commercial products, is unsatisfactory due to the manufacturing standards of the products. If either of these or any regulatory action is taken, our current commercial products or any product we commercialize or promote in the future could be withdrawn from the market at any time. In addition, we may suffer from delays in further commercialization of any product we commercialize or promote.

Our term loan facility provides that, if (i) we terminate Dror Ben-Asher or Rick Scruggs from their employment as the full-time, active chief executive officer of RedHill and full-time, active chief commercial officer of RedHill U.S., respectively, or diminish their respective titles, duties or authorities as of the date we entered into our term loan facility or (ii) we permit any of the foregoing to occur and, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), we do not find replacements within 90 days for such individuals who are approved in writing by HCRM after its good faith consideration of potential replacements proposed by us, this constitutes an event of default and all outstanding obligations under the term loan facility can become immediately due and payable. Whether Mr. Ben-Asher and Mr. Scruggs remain as chief executive officer of RedHill and chief commercial officer of RedHill U.S., respectively, is not entirely under our control. Although we intend to find an appropriate replacement satisfactory to HCRM if either Mr. Ben-Asher or Mr. Scruggs leaves their current position, we cannot assure you that we will be able find such a replacement within the time period permitted under our term loan facility, if at all, or that such replacement will be satisfactory to HCRM. We cannot assure you that we will be able to repay all outstanding obligations payable under the term loan facility in such event or that we will be able to find alternative financing. Even if alternative financing is available, it may be on unfavorable terms, and the interest rate charged on any new borrowings could be substantially higher than the interest rate under our term loan facility, thus adversely affecting our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our third-party manufacturers and suppliers have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, supply chain disruption and shipping disruptions, including disruptions or delays in loading container cargo in ports of origin or off-loading cargo at ports of destination, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, congestion in port terminal facilities, labor supply and shipping container shortages, inadequate equipment and persons to load, dock and offload container vessels and for other reasons. These disruptions may impact our ability to receive APIs and other materials and products from our manufacturers and suppliers, to distribute our products to our customers in a cost-effective and timely manner and to meet customer demand, all of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that further unforeseen events impacting the supply chain will not have a material adverse effect on us in the future. Additionally, the impacts that supply chain disruptions have on our third-party manufacturers and suppliers are not within our control. It is not currently possible to predict how long it will take for these supply chain disruptions to cease or ease. Prolonged supply chain disruption that may impact us or our manufacturers and suppliers could interrupt product manufacturing, increase raw material and product lead times, increase raw material and product costs, impact our ability to meet customer demand and result in lost sales and reputational damage, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" (P.L. 111-148) (the "ACA") and on March 30, 2010, he signed the "Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act" (P.L. 111-152), collectively commonly referred to as the "Healthcare Reform Law." The Healthcare Reform Law included a number of new rules regarding health insurance, the provision of healthcare, conditions to reimbursement for healthcare services provided to Medicare and Medicaid patients, and other healthcare policy reforms. Through the law-making process, substantial changes have been and continue to be made to the current system for paying for healthcare in the U.S., including changes made to extend medical benefits to certain Americans who lacked insurance coverage and to contain or reduce healthcare costs (such as by reducing or conditioning reimbursement amounts for healthcare services and drugs, and imposing additional taxes, fees, and rebate obligations on pharmaceutical and medical device companies). This legislation was one of the most comprehensive and significant reforms ever experienced by the U.S. in the healthcare industry and has significantly changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. This legislation has impacted the scope of healthcare insurance and incentives for consumers and insurance companies, among others. Additionally, the Healthcare Reform Law's provisions were designed to encourage providers to find cost savings in their clinical operations. Pharmaceuticals represent a significant portion of the cost of providing care. This environment has caused changes in the purchasing habits of consumers and providers and resulted in specific attention to the pricing negotiation, product selection and utilization review surrounding pharmaceuticals. This attention may result in our current commercial products, products we may commercialize or promote in the future, and our therapeutic candidates, being chosen less frequently or the pricing being substantially lowered. At this stage, it is difficult to estimate the full extent of the direct or indirect impact of the Healthcare Reform Law on us. These structural changes could entail further modifications to the existing system of private payors and government programs (such as Medicare, Medicaid, and the State Children's Health Insurance Program), creation of government-sponsored healthcare insurance sources, or some combination of both, as well as other changes. Restructuring the coverage of medical care in the U.S. could impact the reimbursement for prescribed drugs and pharmaceuticals, including our current commercial products, those we and our development or commercialization partners are currently developing or those that we may commercialize or promote in the future. If reimbursement for the products we currently commercialize or promote, any product we may commercialize or promote, or approved therapeutic candidates is substantially reduced or otherwise adversely affected in the future, or rebate obligations associated with them are substantially increased, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. Extending medical benefits to those who currently lack coverage will likely result in substantial costs to the U.S. federal government, which may force significant additional changes to the healthcare system in the U.S. Much of the funding for expanded healthcare coverage may be sought through cost savings. While some of these savings may come from realizing greater efficiencies in delivering care, improving the effectiveness of preventive care and enhancing the overall quality of care, much of the cost savings may come from reducing the cost of care and increased enforcement activities. Cost of care could be reduced further by decreasing the level of reimbursement for medical services or products (including our current commercial products, our development or commercialization partners or any product we may commercialize or promote, or those therapeutic candidates currently being developed by us), or by restricting coverage (and, thereby, utilization) of medical services or products. In either case, a reduction in the utilization of, or reimbursement for our current commercial products, any product we may commercialize or promote, or any therapeutic candidate, or for which we receive marketing approval in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. Several states and private entities initially mounted legal challenges to the Healthcare Reform Law, in particular, the ACA, and they continue to litigate various aspects of the legislation. On July 26, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court generally upheld the provisions of the ACA at issue as constitutional. However, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the legislation improperly required the states to expand their Medicaid programs to cover more individuals. As a result, states have a choice as to whether they will expand the number of individuals covered by their respective state Medicaid programs. Some states have not expanded their Medicaid programs and have chosen to develop other cost-saving and coverage measures to provide care to currently uninsured individuals. Many of these efforts to date have included the institution of Medicaid-managed care programs. The manner in which these cost-saving and coverage measures are implemented could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, the healthcare regulatory environment has seen significant changes in recent years and is still in flux. Legislative initiatives to modify, limit, replace, or repeal the ACA and judicial challenges have continued. We cannot predict the impact on our business of future legislative and legal challenges to the ACA or other aspects of the Healthcare Reform Law or other changes to the current laws and regulations. The financial impact of U.S. healthcare reform legislation over the next few years will depend on a number of factors, including the policies reflected in implementing regulations and guidance and changes in sales volumes for therapeutics affected by the legislation. From time to time, legislation is drafted, introduced and passed in the U.S. Congress that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing coverage, reimbursement, and marketing of pharmaceutical products. In addition, third-party payor coverage and reimbursement policies are often revised or interpreted in ways that may significantly affect our business and our products. During his time in office, former President Trump supported the repeal of all or portions of the ACA. President Trump also issued an executive order in which he stated that it is his administration's policy to seek the prompt repeal of the ACA and in which he directed executive departments and federal agencies to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of the provisions of the ACA to the maximum extent permitted by law. Congress has enacted legislation that repeals certain portions of the ACA, including but not limited to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December 2017, which included a provision that eliminates the penalty under the ACA's individual mandate, effective January 1, 2019, as well as the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, passed in February 2018, which, among other things, repealed the Independent Payment Advisory Board (which was established by the ACA and was intended to reduce the rate of growth in Medicare spending). Additionally, in December 2018, a district court in Texas held that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the ACA is, therefore, invalid. On appeal, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the holding on the individual mandate but remanded the case back to the lower court to reassess whether and how such holding affects the validity of the rest of the ACA. The Fifth Circuit's decision on the individual mandate was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 17, 2021, the Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs (comprised of the state of Texas, as well as numerous other states and certain individuals) did not have standing to challenge the constitutionality of the ACA's individual mandate and, accordingly, vacated the Fifth Circuit's decision and instructed the district court to dismiss the case. As a result, the ACA will remain in-effect in its current form for the foreseeable future; however, we cannot predict what additional challenges may arise in the future, the outcome thereof, or the impact any such actions may have on our business. The Biden administration also introduced various measures in 2021 focusing on healthcare and drug pricing, in particular. For example, on January 28, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order that initiated a special enrollment period for purposes of obtaining health insurance coverage through the ACA marketplace, which began on February 15, 2021, and remained open through August 15, 2021. The executive order also instructed certain governmental agencies to review and reconsider their existing policies and rules that limit access to healthcare, including among others, reexamining Medicaid demonstration projects and waiver programs that include work requirements and policies that create unnecessary barriers to obtaining access to health insurance coverage through Medicaid or the ACA. On the legislative front, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was signed into law on March 11, 2021, which, in relevant part, eliminates the statutory Medicaid drug rebate cap, currently set at 100% of a drug's average manufacturer price, for single source drugs and innovator multiple source drugs, beginning January 1, 2024. And, in July 2021, the Biden administration released an executive order entitled, "Promoting Competition in the American Economy," with multiple provisions aimed at prescription drugs. In response, on September 9, 2021, HHS released a "Comprehensive Plan for Addressing High Drug Prices" that outlines principles for drug pricing reform and sets out a variety of potential legislative policies that Congress could pursue as well as potential administrative actions HHS can take to advance these principles. And, in November 2021, President Biden announced the "Prescription Drug Pricing Plan" as part of the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376) passed by the House of Representatives on November 19, 2021, which aims to lower prescription drug pricing by, among other things, allowing Medicare to negotiate prices for certain high-cost prescription drugs covered under Medicare Part D and Part B after the drugs have been on the market for a certain number of years and imposing tax penalties on drug manufacturers that refuse to negotiate pricing with Medicare or increase drug prices "faster than inflation." If enacted, this bill could have a substantial impact on our business. In the coming years, additional legislative and regulatory changes could be made to governmental health programs that could significantly impact pharmaceutical companies and the success of our product candidates. At the state level, legislatures have increasingly passed legislation and implemented regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. There is uncertainty as to what healthcare programs and regulations may be implemented or changed at the federal and/or state level in the U.S. or the effect of any future legislation or regulation. Furthermore, we cannot predict what actions the Biden administration will implement in connection with the Health Reform Law. However, it is possible that such initiatives could have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain approval and/or successfully commercialize products in the U.S. in the future. For example, any changes that reduce, or impede the ability to obtain, reimbursement for the type of products we currently, or intend to, commercialize in the U.S. or that reduce medical procedure volumes could adversely affect our operations and/or future business plans.

The stock market in general and the market price of our ADSs on the Nasdaq, in particular, are subject to fluctuation, and changes in the price of our securities may be unrelated to our operating performance. The market price of our ADSs on the Nasdaq has fluctuated in the past, and we expect they will continue to do so. The market price of our ADSs is and will be subject to a number of factors, including but not limited to: - our ability to execute our business plan, including commercialization of our current and future commercial products;- announcements of technological innovations or new therapeutic candidates or new products approved for marketing by us or others;- announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, in-licensing, out-licensing, joint ventures or capital commitments;- our ability to comply with the various covenants under our credit agreement with HCRM;- expiration or terminations of licenses, research contracts or other commercialization or development agreements;- public concern as to the safety of drugs we, our commercialization or development partners or others market or develop;- the volatility of market prices for shares of biopharmaceutical companies generally;- success or failure of research and development projects;- departure of or major events adversely affecting key personnel;- developments concerning intellectual property rights or regulatory approvals;- variations in our and our competitors' results of operations;- changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if our ADSs are covered by analysts;- changes in government regulations or patent proceedings and decisions;- developments by our development or commercialization partners; and - general market conditions, geopolitical conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance. These factors and any corresponding price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our ADSs and result in substantial losses by our investors. Additionally, market prices for securities of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies historically have been very volatile. The market for these securities has from time to time, experienced significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of any one company. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our ADSs. In the past, following periods of market volatility, shareholders have often instituted securities class action litigation and derivative actions. If we were involved in securities or other litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and attention of management from our business, even if we are successful.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry is highly competitive, and we face significant competition from many pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are researching, developing and marketing products designed to address the indications for which we are currently developing therapeutic candidates or may develop therapeutic candidates in the future or for which we may commercialize or promote products. There are various other companies that currently market, are in the process of developing or may develop in the future products that address all of the indications or diseases treated by our current commercial products, products that we may commercialize or promote in the future, and our therapeutic candidates. New drug delivery mechanisms, drug delivery technologies, new drugs and new treatments that have been developed or that are in the process of being developed or will be developed by others may render our current commercial products, products we may commercialize or promote in the future and our therapeutic candidates noncompetitive or obsolete, or we may be unable to keep pace with technological developments or other market factors. Some of these technologies may have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing similar therapeutic effects compared to our current commercial products, products we may commercialize or promote in the future and our therapeutic candidates. In addition, our current commercial products and products we may commercialize or promote in the future may compete with products of third parties for market share, and generic drugs or products that treat the same indications as our current commercial products or products we may commercialize or promote in the future, which can have an adverse effect on our revenues by reducing our market share or requiring us to reduce the price of the products we market. Movantik primarily competes with other approved PAMORA drugs, several other branded prescription therapies already approved and used extensively to treat OIC, as well as with OTC products. Talicia primarily competes with several branded and generic therapies already approved and used extensively to treat H. pylori. Additionally, Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is developing a Vonoprazan-based combination treatment, for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and H. pylori infection. Vonoprazan is an oral small molecule potassium acid blocker. Aemcolo primarily competes with several competing drugs marketed in the U.S. intended for the treatment of travelers' diarrhea, including Xifaxan (marketed by Salix Pharmaceuticals). Aemcolo also competes with generic antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones and azithromycin. Aemcolo also competes with prescription and OTC anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide and bismuth subsalicylate, as well as probiotics and medical foods which may offer symptomatic relief. We may also be exposed to potentially competitive products, which may be under development to treat or prevent travelers' diarrhea, including new antibiotics, anti-diarrheals, and vaccines. Technological competition from, and commercial capabilities of, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, governmental entities, and others is intense and is expected to increase. Many of these entities have significantly greater research and development capabilities, human resources, and budgets than we do, as well as substantially more marketing, manufacturing, financial and managerial resources. These entities represent significant competition for us. Acquisitions of, or investments in, competing pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies by large corporations could increase such competitors' financial, marketing, manufacturing, and other resources. The potential widespread acceptance of therapies that are alternatives to ours may limit market acceptance of our formulations, current commercial products or products we may commercialize or promote in the future, even if commercialized and therapeutic candidates. Many of our targeted diseases and conditions can also be treated by other medications or drug delivery technologies. These treatments may be widely accepted in medical communities and have a longer history of use, among other possible advantages. The established use of these competitive drugs may limit the potential for widespread acceptance of our current commercial products and products we may commercialize or promote in the future and may limit the potential for our commercial products and therapeutic candidates to receive widespread acceptance, if commercialized.

As of March 16, 2022, we had outstanding options to purchase 63,893,290 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to 6,389,329 of our ADSs) under our Amended and Restated Award Plan (2010) ("Award Plan"). As of March 16, 2022, we had 1,918,500 outstanding Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"), each with respect to one of our ADSs, which represents 10 of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, as of March 16, 2022, there were 97,718,090 Ordinary Shares (equivalent to 9,771,809 of our ADSs) reserved for issuance under our Award Plan (including Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding options under such plan). In addition, as of March 16, 2022 we have sold an aggregate of 332,454 ADSs under our current "at-the-market" equity offering program. Future substantial issuance or sale of our ADSs, or the perception that such sales may occur in the future, including sales of ADSs issuable upon vesting of RSUs and the exercise of options, warrants or other equity-based securities, may cause the market price of our ADSs to decline. Moreover, the issuance of ADSs upon the exercise of our options will also have a dilutive effect on our shareholders, which could further reduce the price of our ADSs.
