 home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. As long as we rely on the foreign private issuer exemption to certain of the NYSE corporate governance standards, a majority of the directors on the Board are not required to be independent directors (and currently our independent directors do not constitute a majority of the Board), we are not required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and director nominations are not required to be made, or recommended to the Board, by a nominating committee that consists entirely of independent directors. Therefore, the Board’s approach to governance may be different from other companies, and, as a result, management oversight of the Company may be more limited than if we were subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance standards. We are also subject to certain reduced disclosure obligations as a result of being a foreign private issuer.

In the event we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, if then applicable, we may rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the NYSE corporate governance rules. A “controlled company” under the NYSE corporate governance rules is a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company.

As a controlled company, we are eligible to, and, in the event we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, we may, elect not to comply with certain requirements of the NYSE corporate governance standards, including (i) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) the requirement that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (iii) the requirement that our director nominations be made, or recommended to the Board, by a nominating committee that consists entirely of independent directors and that we adopt a written charter addressing the nominations process.

Accordingly, our shareholders will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance standards, and the ability of our independent directors to influence our business policies and affairs may be reduced.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status which would then require us
