Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, on behalf of The Bank
of New York Mellon, as Depositary for
securities against which American Depositary
Receipts are to be issued, we attach a copy of the
new prospectus (Prospectus) reflecting the share
reclassification.

As required by Rule 424(e), the upper right hand
corner of the Prospectus cover page has a

the Prospectus relates.

Pursuant to Section III B of the General

companys share classification changed to
no par value registered shares.
