Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules discussed below, a U.S. holder generally will be required to include in gross income any cash distribution paid on our ordinary shares that is treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our ordinary
