This preliminary prospectus supplement formalizes the secondary offering of 9 million American Depositary Shares (ADSs) by Sixth Street Funds, a major shareholder, as previously announced on the same day. The transaction, valued at approximately $583.6 million, represents a significant disposition by a key institutional investor, accounting for over 3% of the company's market capitalization. While the company will not receive any proceeds, the offering increases the public float and could exert downward pressure on the stock price due to the potential for increased supply. The sale reduces Sixth Street Funds' stake by approximately 18% of their holdings. Investors should note the lock-up agreements, which provide some near-term stability for other major shareholders but highlight ongoing investor activity.
