to directors or officers; and any other information which the registrant deems of material importance to security holders.
This report is required to be furnished promptly after the material contained in the report is made public as described above.
The information and documents furnished in this report shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Act

specified in Exchange Act Rule 12b-12(d)(2) (17 CFR 240.12b-12(d)(2)), an issuer must provide a full English translation of the
following documents furnished under cover of Form 6-K whether submitted electronically or in paper:
z

press releases;

z

communications and other documents distributed directly to security holders for each class of securities to which a
reporting obligation under Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d) pertains, except for offering circulars and prospectuses
that relate entirely to securities offerings outside the United States (“foreign offerings”); and

z

documents disclosing annual audited or interim consolidated financial information.

(2) In addition to the documents specified in Exchange Act Rule 12b-12(d)(3) (17 CFR 240.12b-12(d)(3)), an issuer may
furnish under cover of Form 6-K, whether submitted electronically or in paper, an English summary instead of a full English
translation of a report required to be furnished and made public under the laws of the issuer’s home country or the rules
of the issuer’s home country stock exchange, as long as it is not a press release and is not required to be and has not been
distributed to the issuer’s security holders. Such a document may include a report disclosing unconsolidated financial
information about a parent company.
(3) An issuer is not required to submit under cover of Form 6-K an offering circular or prospectus that pertains solely to a
foreign offering, even when an English translation or English summary is available, if the issuer has already submitted a
Form 6-K or filed a Form 20-F or other Commission filing on EDGAR that reported material information disclosed in the
offering circular or prospectus. If an issuer has not previously disclosed this material information to the Commission, it
may submit in electronic format under cover of Form 6-K an English translation or English summary of the portion of the
foreign offering circular or prospectus that discusses the new material information.
(4) Any submitted English summary must meet the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 12b-12(d)(3)(ii) (17 CFR 240.12b­
12(d)(3)(ii)). An issuer may submit the unabridged foreign language report or other document along with the English
summary or English translation as permitted by Regulation S-T Rule 306(b) (17 CFR 232.306(b)) for electronic filings and
Exchange Act Rule 12b-12(d)(4) (17 CFR 240.12b-12(d)(4)) for paper filings.
