(1) For purposes of presenting the maximum number of ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the notes, we have assumed that each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes is convertible into 50.3816 of our ordinary shares. Although this is the initial conversion rate of the notes, the conversion consideration for each Note will actually consist of (a) cash in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the principal value of such Note, or (ii) the conversion value of such Note (as defined in this prospectus), and (b) a number of our ordinary shares equal to the sum of the daily share amounts (calculated as described in this prospectus) for each of the five consecutive trading days beginning on the third trading day following the conversion date. In addition, the conversion rate is subject to adjustment as described under "Description of the Notes -- Antidilution Adjustments" in the prospectus. As a result, the number of our ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of each Note may be higher or lower than the figure indicated.
