Trading in ADRs, as opposed to ordinary shares, permits US residents to trade in US dollars, in the US securities markets, with US securities dealers. Dividends are also paid in US dollars.

ADRs are issued by the Bank of New York, which acts as, depositary bank.

As of June 30, 2009, our American Depositary Receipts reached 17.0 million.

If you are a holder of our ADRs and require any assistance regarding ADR- related matters such as certificate transfers, dividends, or proxy/AGA materials please contact our depositary bank:
