The Company may in its sole discretion, instruct the Depositary to take reasonable steps with respect to the ownership interest of any Owner or Beneficial Owner in excess of the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence, including but not limited to a mandatory sale or disposition on behalf of an Owner or Beneficial Owner of the Shares represented by the American Depositary Shares held by such an Owner or Beneficial Owner in excess of such limitations, if and to the extent such disposition is reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable law.
