The information contained herein shall not constitute an offer to sell or a

referred to herein in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful prior to registration, exemption from registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Investors
must neither accept any offer for, nor acquire, any securities to which this
document refers, unless they do so on the basis of the information contained in
the applicable prospectus published by the Company. 

These written materials do not constitute an offer for sale of securities in

action has been undertaken or will be undertaken to make an offer to the public
of securities requiring publication of a prospectus in any Relevant Member
State. As a result, the securities may only be offered in Relevant Member
States (a) to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the
Prospectus Directive; or (b) in any other circumstances falling within Article
3(2) of the Prospectus Directive. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
expression “an offer of securities to the public” means the communication in
any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer
and the securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to
exercise, purchase or subscribe the securities, as the same may be varied by
any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member
State, and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC
(and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the
