ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Except as described below, there is no provision of the Registrant's memorandum of incorporation (the "
Memorandum of Incorporation
") or the Registrant's articles of incorporation (the "
Articles of Incorporation
") or any contract, arrangement or statute, under which any director or officer of the Registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such.
In summary, Article 35 of the Articles of Incorporation provides that:
(a)
subject to, and to the fullest extent permitted by, the provisions of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008, as amended (the "
Companies Law
"), but without prejudice to any indemnity to which the person concerned may otherwise be entitled, every director, alternate director, secretary, agent, other officer, employee or auditor of the Registrant or of a company which is or was a subsidiary undertaking of the Registrant or in which the Registrant has or had an interest (whether direct or indirect), and their respective heirs and executors (each, an "
Indemnified Person
"), shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Registrant against all actions, suits, proceedings, expenses and liability (collectively, "
Indemnification Matters
") incurred by him or her or their respective heirs or executors for negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust or otherwise in relation to the affairs of the Registrant, provided that Article 35 of the Articles of
Incorporation shall be deemed not to provide for, or entitle any such Indemnified Person to, indemnification to the extent that it would cause Article 35 of the Articles of Incorporation, or any element of it, to be treated as void under the Companies Law or otherwise unlawful under the Companies Law;
(b)
the Registrant shall pay the expenses (including lawyers' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Indemnification Matter in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to promptly repay all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under Article 35.1 of the Articles of Incorporation or otherwise. Payment of such expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person may be made by the Registrant, subject to such terms and conditions as the directors in their discretion deem appropriate; and
(c)
without prejudice to the provisions of Article 35.1 of the Articles of Incorporation (as set forth in paragraph (a) above), the board of directors of the Registrant may exercise all the powers of the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance for or for the benefit of any person who is or was a director, alternate director, secretary, agent, other officer, employee or auditor of the Registrant or of a company which is or was a subsidiary undertaking of the Registrant or in which the Registrant has or had an interest (whether direct or indirect) in respect of any act or omission in the actual or purported execution or discharge of his or her duties or in the exercise or purported exercise of his or her powers or otherwise in relation to his or her duties, powers or offices in relation to the relevant body.
In summary, the Companies Law provides that:
(a)
pursuant to Sections 157(1) and 157(3) of the Companies Law, any provision, whether contained in a company's memorandum or articles of incorporation or in any contract with the company or otherwise, that purports to exempt a director (to any extent) from any liability that would otherwise attach to such director in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to a Guernsey company is void;
(b)
pursuant to Section 157(2) of the Companies Law, any provision by which a company directly or indirectly provides an indemnity (to any extent) for a director of the company, or an associated company, or a body corporate which is an overseas company and a subsidiary of the company, against any liability attaching to such director in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he or she is a director is void, except that Section 157(2) of the Companies Law:
•
does not prevent a Guernsey company from purchasing and maintaining for a director of the company, or any associated company, insurance against any such liability (
see
Section 158 of the Companies Law); and
•
does not apply to a qualifying third-party indemnity provision (
see
Section 159 of the Companies Law). Section 159(2) of the Companies Law provides that "third party indemnity provision" means provision for indemnity against liability incurred by a director to a person other than the company or an associated company, and such provision does not provide any indemnity against: (i) any liability of the director to pay (A) a fine imposed in criminal proceedings, (B) a sum payable to a regulatory authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (however arising); or (ii) any liability incurred by the director (A) in defending criminal proceedings in which he or she is convicted, (B) in defending civil proceedings brought by the company, or an associated company, in which judgment is given against him or her, or (C) in connection with an application for relief under Section 522 of the Companies Law in which the Royal Court of Guernsey refuses to grant him or her relief.

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" table 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) 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 into this 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 benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 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 St Peter Port, Guernsey on May 16, 2025.
