The Company presented this item based on Instruction 7 to Item 5 of the General Instructions for Form 20-F, which mandates a discussion of commitments or obligations arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that may materially affect the registrant’s financial condition, even if these obligations are not recognized on the balance sheet.
