  <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant&#146;s Memorandum and Articles of Association (the &#147;Articles&#148;) provide that, subject to the provisions of and so far
  as may be admitted by the Irish Companies Act 2014, as amended (the &#147;Companies Act&#148;), every Director, Managing Director, Chief Executive, Auditor, Secretary or other officer of the Registrant (which shall include an &#147;officer&#148; of
  the Registrant as such term is defined in the rules of the Commission promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred
  by him or her in the execution and discharge of his or her duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him or her in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been
  done or omitted by him or her as an officer or employee of the Registrant and in which judgment is given in his or her favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part)
  or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him or her by the court. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Directors shall have power to purchase and maintain for or for the benefit of any persons who are or were at any time Directors or
  officers of the Registrant, or who are or were at any time trustees of any pension fund in which employees of the Registrant are interested, insurance against any liability incurred by such persons in respect of any act or omission when in the
  actual or purported execution or discharge of their duties or in the exercise or purported exercise of their powers or otherwise in relation to their duties, powers or offices in relation to the Registrant or any pension fund of the Registrant and
  shall be entitled to vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of any resolution concerning the purchase of such insurance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant
  to the Companies Act, an Irish company may not exempt its directors, company secretary or other officers of the company from, or indemnify such person against, liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust
  by such person in relation to the company. However, if&nbsp;judgment is given in such person&#146;s favor or such person is acquitted, or an Irish court grants such person relief from liability on the grounds that such person acted honestly and
  reasonably and that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that person ought fairly to be excused for the wrong concerned, the company may indemnify such person against any liability incurred. Any provision whereby an Irish company
  seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors, company secretary or other officers over and above the limitations imposed by the Companies Act will be void, whether contained in its articles or any contract between the company and its
  director, company secretary or other officer. This restriction does not apply to persons who would not be considered &#147;officers&#148; within the meaning of the Companies Act. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant as permitted under the Articles and the Companies Act has taken out directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. In
  order to attract and retain qualified directors and officers, the Registrant maintains customary directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance and other types of comparable insurance. One of the Registrant&#146;s subsidiaries has entered
  into indemnification agreements with each of the Registrant&#146;s directors and certain officers that provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. </P>
  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
  controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. </P>

  or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
  Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the

  Item 4. Description of Securities.

  Item 5. Interests of
  Named Experts and Counsel.
  Not applicable.
  Part II-1
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Registrant's Memorandum and Articles of Association (the "Articles") provide that, subject to the provisions of and so far
  as may be admitted by the Irish Companies Act 2014, as amended (the "Companies Act"), every Director, Managing Director, Chief Executive, Auditor, Secretary or other officer of the Registrant (which shall include an "officer" of
  the Registrant as such term is defined in the rules of the Commission promulgated under the Exchange Act) of the Registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred
  by him or her in the execution and discharge of his or her duties or in relation thereto including any liability incurred by him or her in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been
  done or omitted by him or her as an officer or employee of the Registrant and in which judgment is given in his or her favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part)
  or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted to him or her by the court.
  The Directors shall have power to purchase and maintain for or for the benefit of any persons who are or were at any time Directors or
  officers of the Registrant, or who are or were at any time trustees of any pension fund in which employees of the Registrant are interested, insurance against any liability incurred by such persons in respect of any act or omission when in the
  actual or purported execution or discharge of their duties or in the exercise or purported exercise of their powers or otherwise in relation to their duties, powers or offices in relation to the Registrant or any pension fund of the Registrant and
  shall be entitled to vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of any resolution concerning the purchase of such insurance.
  Pursuant
  to the Companies Act, an Irish company may not exempt its directors, company secretary or other officers of the company from, or indemnify such person against, liability in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust
  by such person in relation to the company. However, if judgment is given in such person's favor or such person is acquitted, or an Irish court grants such person relief from liability on the grounds that such person acted honestly and
  reasonably and that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that person ought fairly to be excused for the wrong concerned, the company may indemnify such person against any liability incurred. Any provision whereby an Irish company
  seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors, company secretary or other officers over and above the limitations imposed by the Companies Act will be void, whether contained in its articles or any contract between the company and its
  director, company secretary or other officer. This restriction does not apply to persons who would not be considered "officers" within the meaning of the Companies Act.
  The Registrant as permitted under the Articles and the Companies Act has taken out directors' and officers' liability insurance. In
  order to attract and retain qualified directors and officers, the Registrant maintains customary directors' and officers' liability insurance and other types of comparable insurance. One of the Registrant's subsidiaries has entered
  into indemnification agreements with each of the Registrant's directors and certain officers that provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
  controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

  Item 9. Undertakings.
  A. The undersigned
  Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
  Registration Statement:
  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
  most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
  Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
  provided
  ,
  however
  , that
  paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
  Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
  (2) That, for
  the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
  shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide
  offering thereof.
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
  amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
  B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
  that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefits
  plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
  offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
  bona fide
  offering thereof.
  C. Insofar as indemnification for
  liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
  such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
  or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
  Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
  Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
  Part II-3
  SIGNATURES
  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it

  S-8
  and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Dublin, Ireland on
  this 9th day of May, 2025.
