Notice to U.S. Shareholders. This Offer is made for the securities of a non-U.S. company. The Offer is subject to disclosure requirements of a country that are different from those of the United States. Financial information included in the document, if any, may be prepared in accordance with foreign accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies. It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under
the U.S. federal securities laws, since the issuer of the securities being acquired is located in a foreign country, and some or all of such company’s officers and directors may not be residents of the United States. You may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment. You should be aware that the issuer may purchase securities otherwise than under the Offer, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.
