A registration statement on Form F-1 relating to the proposed offering has been confidentially submitted with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus filed with the SEC. Copies of the preliminary prospectus relating to this offering, when available, may be obtained for free, on the SEC’s website at http://sec.gov.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). This announcement is being issued in accordance with Rule 135 under the Securities Act.
