If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption may be treated as a distribution and the tax effects will be as described under “- Taxation of Distributions Paid on Ordinary Shares,” above. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis a U.S. Holder has in the redeemed ordinary shares will be added to the adjusted tax basis in such holder’s remaining ordinary shares. If there are no remaining ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors as to the allocation of any remaining basis. U.S. Holders should also be aware that substantially contemporaneous dispositions or acquisitions of our shares that are part of a plan viewed as an integrated transaction with the redemption may be taken into account in determining whether any of the tests described above are satisfied.

In addition, a U.S. Holder generally should recognize a capital loss on the lapse of the rights equal to such holder’s tax basis in the rights.

In addition, a non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the non-U.S. corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of
