We are also electronically transmitting an amended version of the Registration Statement (“Amendment 2”) and sending the Staff a hard copy of this letter, Amendment 2 and a blackline between Amendment 2 and Amendment 1. The Staff should also be aware that Amendment 2 contains information extracted Company’s unaudited interim financial information for the six month period ended June 30, 2018, which was released via regulatory information service in the United Kingdom on the date of this letter.

The numbering of the paragraphs below corresponds to the numbering of the comments in the letter. For the Staff’s convenience, we have incorporated your comments into this response letter in italics. Capitalized terms used in this letter but otherwise not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Amendment 2.

Exhibits

We note that the form of American Depositary Receipt included in the form of Deposit Agreement filed as Exhibit 4.1 provides in relevant part that “No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision hereof.” Please amend this section 14(q) so that it specifically provides that no disclaimer of liability under the US federal securities laws or the rules and regulations thereunder is intended by any provision thereof. Please make the corresponding revision to the form of Deposit Agreement.
