As a result of registration of ordinary shares including in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) under the US securities laws and the listing of ordinary shares or ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), non-US companies become subject to certain ongoing reporting and other requirements imposed by both the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the NYSE.

This manual summarizes the primary reporting obligations and other duties imposed by the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and other US securities laws upon a non-US company (the “Company”) as an SEC registrant and upon its officers, directors and certain of its shareholders. It also summarizes the reporting obligations and other duties that are imposed as a result of the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares or ADSs on the NYSE.

In addition, we provide guidance on recommended best practice for compliance with the various US securities and NYSE regulations, and links to relevant regulatory compliance tools.
