Cover Page
1.Consistent with your disclosure on the cover page to the resale prospectus, please also
disclose here that the selling shareholders in the resale offering may not commence the
resale of their shares pursuant to the resale prospectus until after your primary offering
closes and that the resale offering will not proceed if your common stock is not approved
for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.
General
We note your disclosure on page Alt-4 that your selling shareholders may engage broker-
dealers to sell their ordinary shares. Please confirm your understanding that the retention
by a selling shareholder of an underwriter would constitute a material change to your plan
of distribution requiring a post-effective amendment and revise your disclosure as
needed. Please also revise Item 9 to provide the undertakings required by Item 512(a) of 2.
