     The information appearing in the table below, as of the date hereof,
supplements the information appearing under the heading "Information About the

provided us information regarding their holdings of Notes and our ordinary
shares.

Partners L.P.(3).........      $ 1,000,000                     *                       50,381                         *


----------

* Less than 1%.

(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.

(2)  Based on 142,181,048 ordinary shares outstanding as of the close of
     business on March 31, 2006.

(3)  The securityholder has informed us that Andrew Redleaf has voting and
     dispositive power over the securities beneficially owned by such
     securityholder.

                                   ----------

           The date of this prospectus supplement is August 11, 2006.
