 accelerated disclosure of acquisitions of shares or rights over shares relating to such holdings. Takeover Timeline Under the Irish Takeover Rules, in certain circumstances a strict 42-day deadline will be imposed within which a person with whom we are in talks, or from whom we have received an approach, regarding a possible offer is required to make a firm offer for the Company, or announce they will not be making an offer. The Irish Takeover Panel may agree to extend this deadline at our request. This deadline may deter potential bidders from making an offer for the Company. Frustrating Action Under the Irish Takeover Rules, our Board of Directors is not permitted to take any action that might frustrate an offer for our shares once our Board of Directors has received an approach that may lead to an offer or has reason to believe that such an offer is or may be imminent, subject to certain exceptions. Potentially frustrating actions such as (1) the issue of shares, options, restricted share units or convertible securities, (2) the redemption or repurchase of securities by the company (save in certain circumstances), (3) material acquisitions or disposals, (4) entering into contracts other than in the ordinary course of business or (5) any action, other than seeking alternative offers, which may result in frustration of an offer, are prohibited during the course of an offer or at any earlier time during which our Board of Directors has reason to believe an offer is or may be imminent. Exceptions to this prohibition are available where:

| (a) | the action is approved by our shareholders at a general meeting; or |

| (b) | the Irish Takeover Panel has given its consent, where: |

| (i) | it is satisfied the action would not constitute frustrating action; |

| (ii) | our shareholders holding more than 50% of the voting rights state in writing that they approve the proposed action and would vote in favor of it at a general meeting; |

| (iii) | the action is taken in accordance with a contract entered into prior to the announcement of the offer, or any earlier time at which our Board of Directors considered the offer to be imminent; or |

| (iv) | the decision to take such action was made before the announcement of the offer and either has been at least partially implemented or is in the ordinary course of business. |

Shareholders’ Rights Plan Irish law does not expressly authorize or prohibit companies from issuing share purchase rights or adopting a shareholder rights plan as an anti-takeover measure. However
