(the Company) hereby applies for the immediate withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-134189), together with all exhibits thereto (the Registration Statement). The Registration Statement was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 17, 2006, and has not been declared effective.
Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company registered US$100,000,000 convertible senior notes due 2026 (the Notes), convertible into preferred shares or American Depository Shares of the Company.

Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the Company understands that the total filing fees associated with the Registration Statement may be offset against the total filing fee due for a subsequent registration statement.
If you have any questions concerning our request for withdrawal, please call Andrew B. Jánszky of Shearman & Sterling, LLP, our counsel, at +55-11-3720-2202.Very truly yours, | ||
