U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 that provides investment advice to various

acquired by JCC on behalf of various JCC Clients only for investment purposes
and not to exercise control over the Company.

                                 investment adviser to JCC Clients.  JCC has no 
                                 economic interest (e.g., the right to dividends

                                 JCC generally has the right to vote shares of

Ownership:                       As of the close of business (New York time) on 
                                 Thursday, March 15, 2001, JCC had voting and/or
                                 dispositive power with respect to an aggregate 
                                 of 32,688,062 Ordinary Shares of the Company on
                                 behalf of various JCC Clients.  Such shares    
                                 include 22,638,155 shares which are held by JCC
                                 on behalf of Janus Investment Fund ('JIF'), a  
                                 Massachusetts business trust registered as an  
                                 open-end investment company under the U.S.     
                                 Investment Company Act of 1940.  Our records   
                                 indicate that JCC currently holds 5.02% of the 
                                 outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company on  
                                 behalf of JCC Clients (3.48% on behalf of JIF).
                                 The above percentage was calculated based on   
                                 our understanding that the Company has         
                                 651,029,496 Ordinary Shares outstanding.
