A total of 10,828,600 Ordinary Shares were initially registered for issuance under the Registration Statement.
Giovanna Parent Limited, Giovanna Acquisition Limited (“Merger Sub”) and the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on December 19, 2012. On April 29, 2013, at an extraordinary general meeting, the shareholders of the Registrant voted to adopt the Merger Agreement, as contemplated by the Merger Agreement. On May

As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment, all of the Ordinary Shares registered under the Registration Statement that remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
