Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we respectfully request that the effective date of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-206365) be accelerated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to 10:00 Eastern Standard Time on November 13, 2015 or as soon as practicable thereafter.
We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Denis Klimentchenko of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, the Company’s counsel, at +44 20 7519 7289, and that such effectiveness also be confirmed in writing.
The Company hereby acknowledges:

• | the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
• | the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
Very truly yours, | ||
