Purpose of Transaction (Item 4)
Vega SAS
First Equity Derivative Transaction On May 22, 2026, Vega entered into an equity derivative transaction (the "First Equity Derivative Transaction" and the documentation relating thereto the "First Equity Derivative Transaction Agreements") with an unaffiliated third party financial institution (the "Bank"), which was subsequently amended on July 13, 2026 and July 27, 2026. Under the First Equity Derivative Transaction, Vega expects to purchase up to 630,000,000 Ordinary Shares on or before February 22, 2027 (such scheduled settlement date to be automatically extended to the business day falling twelve months after May 22, 2026, unless the Bank notifies Vega before August 30, 2026 of its intention not to so extend), provided that Vega may notify an earlier scheduled settlement date as further set out below (as so extended or brought forward, the "Scheduled Settlement Date 1"). The First Equity Derivative Transaction provides for (i) automatic physical settlement in Ordinary Shares subject to certain conditions, absent any extraordinary event and including Vega's obtaining certain regulatory clearances or (ii) otherwise cash settlement as the case may be. On August 19, 2026, the first of such regulatory clearances was obtained. Accordingly, the transaction can be settled up to an amount that does not result in Vega and its affiliates' aggregate beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares exceeding 9.9% of total outstanding Ordinary Shares on the Scheduled Settlement Date 1 …The first part of Item 4 of the SCHEDULE 13D filed 2026-08-26; the filing has the rest

Where this comes from
Anyone who comes to own more than 5% of a class of a listed company's voting shares has to tell the SEC. A holder who may seek to change or influence the company files Schedule 13D, and has to say in Item 4, "Purpose of Transaction", what it intends to do. A holder with no such intent, such as many index and passive funds, may file the shorter Schedule 13G. Both are amended when the stake changes, including when it falls below 5%.
Every row here is one of those filings, linked to the filing itself. Percentages and share counts are exactly as the holder filed them, for the holder the filing names; an amendment showing a lower figure is shown as filed. Item 4 text is quoted word for word. Where a 13D's Item 4 contains a sentence stating a definite intent to influence the company, that sentence is marked and quoted; the page does not describe the holder or its motives beyond the words it filed. Nothing here is investment advice.
