is taking, to bring it into conformity with Section 802.01B within

Company’s plan and, within 45 days, make a determination as to
whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its
ability to come into conformity with Section 802.01B within 18
months. If the Company’s plan is not submitted on a timely basis or
is not accepted, the NYSE will initiate delisting proceedings. If
the NYSE accepts the Company’s plan, the Company’s ADSs will
continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the cure
period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the plan and other
continued listing standards. The NYSE will review the Company on a
quarterly basis to confirm compliance with the plan. If the Company
fails to comply with the plan or does not meet continued listing
standards at the end of the 18-month cure period, it will be
subject to the prompt initiation of the NYSE’s suspension and
delisting procedures.
The Notice does not affect the Company’s
business operations or its reporting obligations with the
