The Amended Plan is a voluntary stock purchase plan which was originally established for eligible U.S.-based employees of certain subsidiaries of the Company and which has now been extended to certain executives of certain subsidiaries of the Company as well as Canadian-based employees of certain subsidiaries of the Company.

The common stock of the Company is quoted on several stock exchanges including the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
The foregoing description of the Amended Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, and which is also hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-140784), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2007.
