(1) Assumes conversion of all of the holder's LYONs at a conversion rate of
5.277 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the LYONs.
This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however, as described under
"Description of the LYONs--Conversion Rights." As a result, the number of
our ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the LYONs may increase or
decrease in the future. Does not include our ordinary shares that may be
issued by us upon purchase of the LYONs by us at the option of the holder.
(2) Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act, using 134,168,793
ordinary shares outstanding as of November 9, 2001. In calculating this
amount for each holder, we treated as outstanding the number of our
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all of that holder's LYONs, but
we did not assume conversion of any other holder's LYONs. Does not include
our ordinary shares that may be issued by us upon purchase of the LYONs by
us at the option of the holder.
(3) Information about other selling securityholders will be set forth in
prospectus supplements, if required.
(4) Assumes that any other holders of LYONs, or any future pledgees, donees,
assignees, transferees or successors of or from any such other holders of
LYONs, do not beneficially own any of our ordinary shares other than the
ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the LYONs at the initial
conversion rate.
