 - Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” any gain or loss recognized by a United States
holder on a taxable disposition of Depositary Shares will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss
if the holder’s holding period in such share exceeds one year at the time of the disposition. The deductibility of capital losses
is subject to limitations.

For a cash basis taxpayer,
units of foreign currency received will generally be translated into United States dollars at the spot rate on the settlement date of
the sale. In that case, no foreign currency exchange gain or loss will result from currency fluctuations between the trade date and the
settlement date of such sale. An accrual basis taxpayer may elect to apply the same rules applicable to cash basis taxpayers with respect
to the sale of ADRs that are traded on an established securities market, provided that the election must be applied consistently from
year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS. For an accrual method taxpayer who does not make such an election,
units of foreign currency received will generally be translated into United States dollars at the spot rate on the trade date of the sale.
Such an accrual basis taxpayer may recognize foreign currency exchange gain or loss based on currency fluctuations between the trade date
and the settlement date of such sale. In general, any such gain or loss will be ordinary and will be treated as from sources within the
United States for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

50%. For purposes of applying the tests in the preceding sentence, the foreign corporation is deemed to own its proportionate share of
the assets, and to receive directly its proportionate share of the income, of any other corporation of which the foreign corporation owns,
directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock.

Based
upon estimates with respect to its income, assets, and operations, it is expected that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year.
However, because the determination of PFIC status must be made on an annual basis after the end of the taxable year and will depend on
the composition of the income and
