EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 28, 2010, for the sole purpose of furnishing the Interactive Data File as
Exhibit 101.
It should
be noted that the interactive data files relating to the tables
entitled “Consolidated statements of changes in equity for
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009” in Exhibit
101, while tagged correctly, may not render correctly on the SEC’s interactive data viewer. As such, you should refer to pages F-7 to F-9 in the Annual
Report for the correct versions of such tables.
No other changes have been made to the Form 20-F. This Amendment does not reflect events that have
occurred after the June 28, 2010 filing date of the Annual Report on Form 20-F, or modify or update
the disclosures presented therein, except to reflect the amendment described above.
