  Form
  F-1
  (File No. 333- 199996),

  Not applicable.
  Item 5.
  Interests

  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and
  officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Registrant's
  currently effective second amended and restated articles of association, adopted by its shareholders on November 28, 2014, provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges,
  expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such persons, other than by reason of such persons' own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of the Registrant's business or affairs (including as a
  result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such
  persons in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning the Registrant or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.
  2
  Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.5 to
  the Registrant's registration statement on Form
  F-1,
  as amended (File No. 333-199996), the Registrant has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers against certain liabilities and expenses
  incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.
  Insofar as indemnification
  for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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.
  The Registrant also maintains
  a directors and officers liability insurance policy for its directors and officers.
  Item 7.
  Exemption from Registration Claimed
  Not applicable.
  Item 8.
  Exhibits
  See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto.
  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 this 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 this Registration Statement.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
  offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
  the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement.; and
  (iii)
  to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
  Registration Statement or any material change to that information in the Registration Statement;
  provided,
  however
  , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(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 this Registration Statement;
  3
  (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 benefit 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.
