EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This post-effective amendment is being filed solely to correct the “Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share” from $14.95 to $1.86711, so that the Calculation of Registration Fee would read as follows:

 

CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

 

Title of Securities to be Registered		Amount to be Registered (1)		Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share (2)			Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price			Amount of Registration Fee
Common Shares		11,691,533 shares		$	1.86711		$	21,829,378		$	670.16

 

(1)		Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this registration statement covers, in addition to the number of common shares shown above, any additional common shares to be offered or sold pursuant to the Amended and Restated Share Option Plan.
(2)		This calculation is made solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee pursuant to the provisions of Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act as follows: (i) in the case of common shares which may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding options, the fee is calculated on the basis of the weighted average exercise price at which the options may be exercised; and (ii) in the case of common shares for which options have not yet been granted and/or stock awards have not yet been issued and the price of which is therefore unknown, the fee is calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low prices per Common Share on the NASDAQ Global Market as of October 23, 2007.
