PART I—INFORMATION SENT TO SECURITY HOLDERS

Item 1. Home Jurisdiction Documents

 

Exhibit No.

    
99.1    International Offering Memorandum relating to the rights offering, dated March 12, 2009.
99.2    Notice published in the Wall Street Journal relating to the rights offering, dated March 16, 2009.

Item 2. Informational Legends

This rights offering is made for the securities of a company organized in Spain. The offer is subject to Spanish disclosure requirements, which are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in the document have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, which may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the federal securities laws, since we are located in Spain, and some or all of our officers and directors may be residents of Spain. You may not be able to sue a non-U.S. company or its officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a non-U.S. company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.
