<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Some information in this report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current beliefs, expectations and
intentions as to facts, actions and events that will or may occur in the future. Such statements
generally are identified by forward-looking words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148;
&#147;continue,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will&#148; or other similar words.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the
forward-looking statement. We have chosen these assumptions or bases in good faith. These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are
beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with
respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results may differ
materially from information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of
factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in &#147;Item&nbsp;3. Key Information &#150;
Risk Factors&#148; in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008. You
should also keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this report or elsewhere
speaks only as at the date on which we made it. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to
time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no
duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the statements in this report after the date
hereof. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that actual results may
differ materially from any forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere.
