We are of the opinion that the ADSs covered by the Registration Statement, when issued in accordance with the Statement of Terms and Conditions of the ADSs included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement will, when sold, be legally issued and will entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in the Statement of Terms and Conditions.
