The Company’s American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), each representing 5 ordinary shares, were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on October 22, 1997. On May 7, 2021, the NYSE filed Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the delisting of the Company’s ADSs became effective on May 18, 2021.
