On October 26, 2011, the shareholders approved the EIP and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 27,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, plus any shares remaining available for grant under the SCP as of the effective date of the EIP (which was equal to 11,041,148 ordinary shares as of the effective date of the EIP and which will increase by any shares in respect of awards previously granted under the SCP that expire, are cancelled or are forfeited) (together, the “Share Reserve”). Any shares that are subject to options or share appreciation rights granted under the EIP will be counted against the Share Reserve as one share for every one share granted, and any shares that are subject to restricted share bonus awards, restricted share units, performance share bonus awards or performance share units (collectively, “Full-Value Share Awards”) will generally be counted against the Share Reserve as two and one-tenth shares for every one share granted. As of March 30, 2012, there were approximately 36.9 million ordinary shares available for issuance under the EIP. Shares that are subject to Full-Value Share Awards will generally vest over a period of three to four years. Options will generally vest as follows: 25% of the options will vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining 75% will vest ratably each month thereafter over the next 36 months. Options granted under the EIP have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on date of grant.
