Note to Amount Registered: (2) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover such indeterminate number of additional shares as may become issuable under the plan in connection with variations in share capital, demergers, special dividends or distributions or similar transactions. In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) of the Securities Act, this registration statement also covers an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the employee benefit plan described herein.
