The Sea Harvest Management Investment Trust No 2 (“MIT2”) is a trust that was established during

Funding Agreements.
Details of MIT2, its partial liquidity at listing, the vesting of subsequent tranches and the settlement
of the related NVF relating to each tranche, as well as related agreements, were included in clause
