(1)
Together with an indeterminate additional number of Ordinary Shares which may be issuable pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Plan. Pursuant to Rule
416 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall be deemed to cover any additional securities to be offered or issued in connection with stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
(2)
Calculated pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act. Because option grants were made on two different dates, the exercise price with respect to 110,926
of the Ordinary Shares is $14.86 and with respect to 3,889,074 of the Ordinary Shares is $5.34.
(3)
Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the registration fee of $2,062.27 is fully offset by the filing fee previously paid with respect to 3,441,572
Ordinary Shares registered on our previously filed registration statement on Form S-8, File Number 333-11596, filed on March 3, 2000 (the "Prior Registration Statement"), which shares remained unsold at the termination of the offerings of
such shares under the AMVESCAP International Sharesave Plan and which have been deregistered by the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Prior Registration Statement on the date hereof.

PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(A) PROSPECTUS
Item

Not required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission").
Item 2.    Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information
Not required to be filed with the Commission.
3
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item
3.    Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The following documents are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and are deemed to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents:
(a)  Our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, filed on April 4, 2002, which contains our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.
(b)  All other reports we have filed pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") since December 31, 2001.
(c)  The description of our Ordinary Shares in the
section entitled "Description of Securities" of our Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-8680).
All documents subsequently filed by us with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered pursuant
to this Registration Statement have been sold or which deregisters all securities that remain unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in any document, all or a portion of which is incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained or incorporated
by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
The financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by Arthur
Andersen ("Andersen"). After reasonable efforts, we have not been able to obtain the consent of Andersen to the incorporation by reference of its audit report dated March 8, 2002 into this Registration Statement. Under these circumstances,
Rule 437a under the Securities Act permits this Registration Statement to be filed without a written consent from Andersen. The absence of such written consent from Andersen may limit a shareholder's ability to assert claims against Andersen
under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the financial statements audited by Andersen or any omissions to state a material fact required to be stated therein.
Item 4.    Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Except
as hereinafter provided, there is no provision of our Memorandum or Articles of Association or any contract, arrangement or statute under which any of our directors, managing directors, managers, officers or auditors are insured or indemnified in
any manner against any liability that he may incur in his capacity as such.
4
Our Articles of Association provide that, subject to the provisions of the
Companies Act of 1985, each of our directors, managing directors, managers, officers and auditors shall be indemnified by us against all costs, charges, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by him in the execution of the duties of his office or
otherwise relating to his office, including liabilities incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favor, or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application in which
relief is granted to him by the court.
Our Articles of Association also provide that we may purchase and maintain
insurance for any of our directors, managing directors, managers, officers or auditors against any liabilities, including any which may attach to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust that he may be guilty of
in relation to us. We maintain such policies of insurance on our directors and officers.

Item 9.    Undertakings
(a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:
(i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the
5
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)  That, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)  To remove from registration
by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of the annual report of the employee benefit plan referenced herein pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
