Schedule TO-T filed October 23, 2024
General

1.     Rule 14e-1(b) requires a tender offer to remain open for at least ten
U.S. business days
       after a change in price. We note your disclosure that    the Offeror is
offering to pay
       $12.66 for each Ordinary Share     reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis
by the gross
       amount of any distributions by the Company to its shareholders     with
a payment
       date falling after the date of this Offer to Purchase and before the
settlement date of
       the Offers.    It appears from this statement that the offer price could
change after
       expiration but before settlement of the Offers. Please explain how this
offer structure
       is consistent with your obligations under Rule 14e-1(b), Item 4 of
Schedule TO and
       Item 1004 of Regulation M-A.
        We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy
of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by
