any of its agents to effect stabilising transactions and there is
no assurance that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such
stabilising measures, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time
without prior notice. In no event will measures be taken to
stabilise the market price of the Ordinary Shares above the offer
