No. 333-173002). Each ADS represents the right to receive four ordinary shares.

Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this registration statement also covers such
additional ordinary shares or ADSs of the registrant as may hereafter be offered or issued by reason of any share or ADS dividend, share or ADS split, bonus issue, recapitalization or similar transaction effected without the registrant’s
