	Title of security	10.75% Equity Security Units (“units”). Each unit will have a stated amount of $25, consisting of a purchase contract for a number of ordinary shares for $25 and a 1/40, or 2.5%, interest in a $1,000 senior note.

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case

If the stock price is between two stock price amounts in the ta- ble or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the fundamental change early settlement rate will be de- termined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
If the stock price is greater than $100.0 per share (subject to ad- justment), the fundamental change early settlement rate will be the minimum settlement rate.
If the stock price is less than $10.0 per share (subject to ad- justment), the fundamental change early settlement rate will be the maximum settlement rate.
