Item 4. Ownership
Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

As of the date of this filing: Millennium Partners, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership ("Millennium Partners") may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 200,000 shares of Ordinary Shares; and Millenco, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Millenco") (formerly known as Millenco, L.P.) may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 100,189 shares of Common Stock.
Millennium Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the managing partner of Millennium Partners and the manager of Millenco, and consequently may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millennium Partners and Millenco. Israel A. Englander ("Mr. Englander") is the managing member of Millennium Management. As a result, Mr. Englander may be deemed to have shared voting control and investment discretion over securities deemed to be beneficially owned by Millennium Management. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Millennium Partners or Millenco.
Note: Integrated Holding Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Integrated Holding Group"), is a non-managing member of Millenco. As a non-managing member, Integrated Holding Group has no investment or voting control over Millenco or its securities positions.
(b) Percent of Class:
Millennium Management and Mr. Englander may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 2.1% of the Companys Ordinary Shares (see Item 4(a) above). The calculation of the foregoing percentage is on the basis of 14,191,294 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2007, as reported by the Company on its Form 6-K, dated June 7, 2007.
