Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

As required under Swiss law, effective September 12, 2012, we amended our Articles of Association to update them for changes in our outstanding share capital resulting from our issuance of registered shares out of conditional capital in connection with the exercise of certain warrants in February 2012. The exercise of the warrants resulted in an increase of our share capital by a total of CHF 5,571,670.24 (an amount equal to the 4,803,164 registered shares issued in connection with the transaction multiplied by the par value per share of CHF 1.16).

As a result, the amended Articles of Association now reflect a registered share capital of CHF 973,941,253.64, which is divided into 839,604,529 registered shares. We also made corresponding changes to our Articles of Association to reduce our remaining conditional share capital by the amount of the capital increase. The amended Articles of Association also reflect, as required under Swiss law, the removal of Article 5 relating to authorized capital resulting from the expiration of authorized capital on June 23, 2012.

A copy of our amended Articles of Association is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
