Passive Foreign Investment Company We believe that we were not a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our  taxable year ending on December 31, 2011, and we do not expect to become one for our current taxable year or in the future, although  there can be no assurance in this regard. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which you held our shares or ADSs,  you could be subject to additional U.S. federal income taxes on gain recognized with respect to the shares or ADSs and on certain  distributions, plus an interest charge on certain taxes treated as having been deferred under the PFIC rules.  Non-corporate U.S. holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us in taxable  years beginning before January 1, 2013, if we are a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding  taxable year.  In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our shares or ADSs and the proceeds from the sale,  exchange or redemption of our shares or ADSs that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United  States), unless you are an exempt recipient such as a corporation. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if you fail to  provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of other exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.  Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal  income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.  Section 6045B of the Code imposes certain reporting requirements on us with respect to any organizational action that  affects the basis of our shares or ADSs, such as the capital reduction plan described in Item 9 under “A. Offer and Listing Details”.  We intend to comply with the requirements by making available on our website IRS Form 8937, Report of Organizational Actions  Affecting Basis of Securities, with respect to such capital reduction plan and any other such organizational action.  We have filed this annual report on Form 20-F, including exhibits, with the SEC. As allowed by the SEC, in Item 19 of this  annual report, we incorporate by reference certain information we filed with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important  information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is  considered to be part of this annual report.  You may read and copy this annual report, including the exhibits incorporated by reference in this annual report, at the SEC’s  Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 and at the SEC’s regional offices in New York, New York and  Chicago, Illinois. You can also request copies of this annual report, including the exhibits incorporated by reference in this annual  report, upon payment of a duplicating fee, by writing information on the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room.  120 P AR T I Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Information Return under Section 6045B of the Internal Revenue Code F.
