We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our home country, with securities publicly traded in the United States on the NYSE.
The NYSE Rules permit foreign private issuers to follow applicable home country corporate governance practices in lieu of the NYSE corporate governance standards, subject to certain exceptions. Foreign private issuers electing to follow home country corporate governance rules are required to disclose the principal differences in their corporate governance practices from those required under the NYSE Rules. Except as set forth below, there are no material differences in the Company's corporate governance practices from those of U.S. domestic companies under the listing standards of the NYSE.
Under the NYSE Listed Company Manual, shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) amounting to more than (i) 20% of the listed company's currently outstanding common stock in an offering that does not constitute a "public offering" as defined under the NYSE rules, and (ii) one percent to a director, officer or 5% securityholder of the company, or a related party, or certain companies, entities or persons with relationships with the related party. The NYSE Listed Company Manual also provides that if the related party involved in the transaction is classified as such solely because such person is a 5% securityholder, and if the issuance relates to a sale of stock for cash at a price at least as great as each of the book and market value of the issuer's common stock, then shareholder approval will not be required unless the number of shares exceeds either five percent of the number of shares or voting power of the company. We currently expect to use this exception to enable us to raise capital from time to time, on market terms approved by our board and audit committee, consistent with our past practice. In accordance with applicable current NYSE requirements, we have provided to the NYSE letters from outside counsel certifying that the Company's practices in these areas are not prohibited by our home country law.
The NYSE Listed Company Manual provides that each member of a listed company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must be "independent" as set forth in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. We currently expect to use this exception to enable us to appoint non-independent director(s) to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In accordance with applicable current NYSE requirements, we have provided to the NYSE letters from outside counsel certifying that the Company's practices in these areas are not prohibited by our home country law.
