On July 24, 2024, Lauca entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC each in their capacity as the representative (the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”) named in Schedule I thereof, the Issuer and the other selling shareholders named in Schedule II thereof. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, Lauca sold to the Underwriters 10,384,970 ADS, each representing 2,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price per ADS of $23.16 (the “Offering Price”) (the “Underwritten Offering”). In addition, Lauca granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase, at the Offering Price, up to an additional 1,810,679 ADS to cover overallotments, if any.

The ADS purchased by the Underwriters were issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Depositary”) and are evidenced by ADRs pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of September 21, 2017, as amended by the first amendment, dated as of March 12, 2021, and the second amendment, dated as of July 24, 2024 (the “Deposit Agreement”), among the Issuer, the Depositary, and all holders from time to time of the ADRs issued thereunder evidencing ADS representing deposited shares of Common Stock.

The Underwritten Offering was effected pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-280866) filed by the Issuer on July 18, 2024. The Underwritten Offering closed on July 26, 2024.

In accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, Lauca entered into a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters agreeing that, subject to certain exceptions, it may not, during the 120-day period from July 18, 2024, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock or ADS, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock or ADS, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to

receive shares of Common Stock or ADS (such shares of Common Stock, ADS, options, rights, warrants or other securities, collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition, or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement would be settled by delivery of Common Stock, ADS or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any Lock-Up Securities or (iv) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any action, activity, transaction or arrangement described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
