THE TERM “HOLDER” SHALL MEAN THE PERSON IN WHOSE
NAME THIS RECEIPT IS REGISTERED ON THE BOOKS OF THE DEPOSITARY FROM TIME TO TIME.

1. RECEIPTS. This
Receipt is one of a continuing issue of Receipts, all evidencing rights of like tenor with respect to the Deposited Securities,
and all issued or to be issued upon the terms and conditions herein provided, which shall govern the continuing arrangement by
the Depositary with respect to initial deposits as well as the rights of Holders and Beneficial Owners of Receipts subsequent to
such deposits. The legal entity resulting from the agreement herein provided for is deemed to be the issuer of the Receipts and
of the ADSs evidenced thereby. The Depositary will not knowingly accept for deposit any Shares required to be registered under
the Securities Act unless a registration statement is in effect as to such Shares. The Depositary assumes no liability with respect
to the validity, worth, susceptibility to assessments or freedom from preemptive rights of the Deposited Securities.
2. WITHDRAWAL OF
DEPOSITED SECURITIES. The surrender of outstanding Receipts and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may only be suspended for
(i) temporary delays caused by the closing of the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the deposit of Shares in connection
with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges,
(iii) compliance with any laws or governmental regulations relating to the Receipts or to the withdrawal of Deposited Securities,
or (iv) any other reason that may at any time be specified in paragraph I(A)(1) of the General Instructions to Form F-6, as from
time to time in effect, or any successor provisions thereto.
3. TRANSFER OF RECEIPTS.
Until surrender of this Receipt in accordance with the terms hereof, the Depositary will maintain at a designated office in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, a register for the registration of Receipts and transfers of Receipts and where
the Holders of Receipts may during regular business hours inspect the transfer books or the list of Holders of Receipts as maintained
by the Depositary. The transfer of this Receipt is registrable on the transfer books of the Depositary at its Designated Office
by the registered Holder hereof in person or by the duly authorized attorney of the Holder, upon surrender of this Receipt properly
endorsed for transfer or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and payment of funds sufficient to pay any applicable taxes,
governmental charges, and the fees and expenses of the Depositary and upon compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary
may establish for such purpose. This Receipt may be split into other such Receipts, or may be combined with other such Receipts
into one Receipt, representing the same aggregate number of ADSs as the Receipt(s) surrendered. Upon such split or combination
not involving a transfer, a charge will be made as provided herein. The Depositary may close the transfer books at any time or
from time to time when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, subject to the provisions
to paragraph 2 hereof.
4. PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP.
The Depositary may require any Holder, Beneficial Owner, or person presenting securities for deposit against the issuance of
ADSs, from time to time, to file such proof of citizenship or residence and to furnish such other information, by affidavit or
otherwise, and to execute such certificates and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to comply with any laws or regulations
relating to the issuance of ADSs or transfer of Receipts, the receipt or distribution of dividends or other property, or the taxation
thereof or of Receipts, ADSs or Deposited Securities, and the Depositary may withhold the issuance of ADSs or registration of transfer
of any Receipt or payment of such dividends or delivery of such property from any Holder, Beneficial Owner or other person, as
the case may be, who shall fail to file such proofs, certificates or other instruments.
5. TRANSFERABILITY
AND RECORD OWNERSHIP OF RECEIPTS. It is a condition of this Receipt, and every successive Holder and Beneficial Owner of the
ADSs evidenced by this Receipt by accepting or holding the same consents and agrees, that title to this Receipt, when properly
endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a
negotiable instrument; provided, however, that prior to the due presentation of the Receipt for registration of transfer as above
provided, and subject to paragraph 14 hereof, the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person
in whose name this Receipt is registered on the books of the Depositary as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of determining
the person entitled to distribution of dividends or other distribution or to any notice pursuant to the terms hereof, and for all
other purposes.
6. LIMITATIONS ON
EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, AND TRANSFER AND SURRENDER, OF RECEIPTS. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, the delivery
of ADSs against deposits of Shares generally or against deposits of particular Shares may be suspended, or the registration of
transfer of Receipts in particular instances may be refused, or registration of transfer of outstanding Receipts or the combination
or split-up of Receipts generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or
if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary at any time or from time to time because of any requirement
of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of this Receipt, or for any other reason.
7.
NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Receipt is for the exclusive benefit of the Depositary and the Holders and Beneficial
Owners (and each of their successors) and shall not be deemed to give any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim whatsoever to any
other person, including, but not limited to, the Company, except to the extent specifically set forth in this Receipt. Nothing in this
Receipt shall be deemed to give rise to a partnership or joint venture among the Depositary, the custodian of the Deposited Securities,
the Holders or the Beneficial Owners, nor establish a fiduciary or similar relationship among the Depositary, the custodian of the Deposited
Securities, the Holders or the Beneficial Owners. The Holders and the Beneficial Owners acknowledge and agree that (i) Citibank, N.A.
and its affiliates may at any time have multiple banking relationships with the Company, the Holders, the Beneficial Owners, and their
respective affiliates, (ii) Citibank, N.A. and its affiliates may be engaged at any time in transactions in which parties (including Citibank,
N.A. and its affiliates) adverse to the Company, the Holders, the Beneficial Owners or their respective affiliates may have interests,
(iii) the Depositary and its affiliates may become the owner(s) of, and deal in, securities of any class of the Company, the Deposited
Securities and the ADSs, and Citibank, N.A. and its affiliates may from time to time have in their possession non-public information about
the Company, the Holders, the Beneficial Owners, and their respective affiliates, (iv) nothing contained in this Receipt shall (a)
preclude Citibank, N.A. or any of its affiliates from engaging in such transactions or establishing or maintaining such relationships,
(b) obligate Citibank, N.A. or any of its affiliates to disclose such information, transactions or relationships, or to account for any
profit made or payment received in such transactions or relationships, (v) the Depositary shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
information any other division of Citibank, N.A. or any of its affiliates may have about the Company, the Holders, the Beneficial Owners,
or any of their respective affiliates, and (vi) the Company, the Depositary, the custodian of the Deposited Securities and their
respect agents and controlling persons may be subject to the laws and regulations of jurisdictions other than the U.S. and Switzerland,
and the authority of courts and regulatory authorities of such other jurisdictions, and, consequently, the requirements and the limitations
of such other laws and regulations, and the decisions and orders of such other courts and regulatory authorities, may affect the rights
and obligations of the Company, the Depositary and the Holders and Beneficial Owners under the terms of this Receipt.
The Company is not a party to, and has no obligations
under, this Receipt, and has not entered into any agreement with the Depositary for the issuance of ADSs. The Depositary has no obligations
in respect of the Deposited Securities other than those specifically set forth in this Receipt to the Holders and Beneficial Owners of
ADSs.
8. LIABILITY OF
HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS FOR TAXES. The Depositary shall not be liable for any governmental taxes, assessments or charges
or corporate assessment or charges which may become payable in respect of the Deposited Securities, but a ratable part of any and
all of the same, whether such tax, assessment or charge becomes payable by reason of any present or future law, statute, charter
provision, by-law, regulation or otherwise, shall be payable by the Holder and Beneficial Owners hereof to the Depositary at any
time upon request. Upon the failure of the Holder of this Receipt to pay any such amount, the Depositary may withhold dividends
and other distributions and may sell for account of such Holder the Deposited Securities corresponding to all or any part of the
amount of ADSs represented by this Receipt, and may apply to proceeds in payment of such obligations, the Holder and Beneficial
Owners hereof remaining liable for any deficiency.
9. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES. Every person presenting Shares for deposit shall be deemed thereby to represent and warrant that (i) such Shares
and the certificates therefor are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and legally obtained by such person,
(ii) all preemptive (and similar) rights, if any, with respect to such Shares have been validly waived or exercised, (iii) the
person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do, (iv) the Shares presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance,
security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse claim, and (v) the Shares presented for deposit are not required to be registered
under the Securities Act in connection with any offer or sale thereof in the United States, and (vi) the Shares presented for deposit
have not been stripped of any rights or entitlements. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal
of Shares, the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs. If any such representations
or warranties are false in any way, the Depositary shall be authorized, at the cost and expense of the person depositing Shares,
to take any and all actions necessary to correct the consequences thereof, including, without limitation, to cancel the applicable
ADSs.
10. FURTHER CONDITIONS.
This Receipt is issued, and all rights of the Holders and Beneficial Owners hereof are expressly, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth on the face and the reverse of this Receipt, all of which form a part of the contract contained in this Receipt
and to all of which the Holder and Beneficial Owners hereof by accepting any ADS evidenced by this Receipt consent and agree.

11. AVAILABLE
INFORMATION. Based on the reasonable good faith belief of the Depositary (after exercising reasonable due diligence), it was determined,
at the time of the filing of the applicable registration statement for the ADSs, that the Company published in English the information
contemplated in Rule 12g3-2(b) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
on its internet website or through an electronic information delivery system generally available to the public in the Company's primary
trading market. As of the date of such filing, the Company's internet website was www.dksh.com. The information so published by the Company
cannot be retrieved from the Commission's internet website, and cannot be inspected or copied at the public reference facilities maintained
by the Commission. The Depositary does not assume any duty to determine if the Company is complying with the requirements of Rule 12g3-2(b)
under the Exchange Act or to take any action if the Company is not complying with those requirements.
12. NOTICES; VOTING
RIGHTS. The Depositary shall be under no obligation to give notice to the Holder or any Beneficial Owner of this Receipt of
any meeting of shareholders or of any report of or communication from the Company or of any other matter concerning the affairs
of the Company, except as herein expressly provided. The Depositary undertakes to make available for inspection by the Holder of
this Receipt at its principal office any reports and communications received by the Depositary or any agent, nominee, custodian
or correspondent of the Depositary from the Company which were both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited
Securities and (b) made generally available to the holders of such Deposited Securities by the Company. Such reports and communications
will be available in the language in which they were received by the Depositary from the Company except to the extent, if any,
that the Depositary in its sole discretion elects both (i) to translate into English any of such reports or communications that
were not in English when received by the Depositary and (ii) to make any such translation available for such inspection by Holders
of the Receipt. The Depositary has no obligation of any kind to translate any of such reports or communications or to make any
such translation available for inspection. The Depositary shall not incur any liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner by reason
of any such translation provided by the Depositary, whether or not such translation was prepared by the Depositary.
The Depositary will,
but only upon the written request of a Holder hereof and the payment to the Depositary of any expenses involved, endeavor insofar
as practicable to exercise any then existing voting rights with respect to an amount of the Deposited Securities represented hereby
in accordance with such request.
13. DISTRIBUTIONS.
Until the termination of the agreement evidenced by this Receipt in accordance with the terms hereof, the Depositary shall
distribute or otherwise make available to the Holder hereof, at a time and in such a manner as it shall determine, any distributions
of cash and securities, subscription or other rights, and any other distribution with respect to the Deposited Securities represented
by the ADSs evidenced by this Receipt, after deduction, or upon payment, of the fees and expenses of the Depositary described in
paragraph 20 below, and the withholding of any taxes in respect thereof; provided, however, that the Depositary shall not make
any distribution which in the opinion of counsel may violate the Securities Act or any other applicable law. In such case, the
Depositary may sell such subscription or other rights, securities or other property. In the event that the Depositary elects not
to make any such distribution it will notify the Holders of the disposition thereof and proceeds of such sale. Any dividend or
other distribution received by the Depositary in cash in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall, subject to the provisions of
the following paragraph, be converted into U.S. dollars and distributed as herein provided in U.S. dollars. In lieu of distributing
fractional ADSs, the Depositary may, in its discretion, sell the amount of securities or property equal to the aggregate of any
fractional ADSs. The Depositary shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making subscription or other rights
available to any Holder or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any Holder and making the net proceeds available to any Holder,
provided that if by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason it would be unlawful for the Depositary either to
make such rights available to any Holder or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds from the sale of such rights available
to any Holder, then the Depositary may allow such rights to lapse. Sales of subscription or other rights, securities or other property
by the Depositary may be made at such time and in such manner as the Depositary may deem advisable, and in such case, the Depositary
shall distribute to the Holder hereof the net proceeds after deduction of its fees and expenses described in paragraph 20 below
and the withholding of taxes and governmental charges in respect thereof.
If the Depositary shall
determine in its sole judgment that any cash distribution is not convertible in its entirety, or with respect to the Holders of
a portion of the Receipts, on a practicable basis into U.S. dollars available to it in the City of New York, or if any required
approval or license of any government or agency for such conversion is denied, or is not obtainable within a reasonable period,
the Depositary may in its discretion make such conversion and distribution in U.S. dollars to the extent possible to the Holders
entitled thereto, at such time and rates of conversion as the Depositary shall deem appropriate, and shall with respect to any
such currency not converted or convertible either (i) distribute such currency to the Holders entitled thereto or (ii) hold such
currency for the respective accounts of such Holders and distribute appropriate warrants or other instruments evidencing rights
to receive such foreign currency.
14. RECORD DATES.
Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made,
or whenever rights shall be issued, with respect to Deposited Securities, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any
meeting of Holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, or whenever it is necessary in the opinion of the Depositary to determine
the Holders of Receipts, the Depositary will fix a record date for the determination of the Holders generally or the Holders of
Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or rights, or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to
give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting. Surrender of this Receipt for registration of transfer
subsequent to any such record date and prior to the date of payment, distribution or meeting shall not affect the right of the
Holder hereof on such record date to receive such payment or distribution or to direct the manner of voting the Deposited Securities
represented hereby.
15. FORWARDING AND
DELIVERY OF DEPOSITED SECURITIES. At any time the Depositary may, in its sole discretion, cause any or all Deposited Securities
to be forwarded at the cost and risk of the Holders of the Receipts to the Depositary’s Designated Office or to the agent,
nominee, custodian or correspondent of the Depositary, to be held by the Depositary or such agent, nominee, custodian or correspondent,
in which case the Holder hereof shall have the right only to (i) receive at the Designated Office of the Depositary or the office
of such agent, nominee custodian, or correspondent, or (ii) to have forwarded, at the cost and risk of such Holder, to or upon
the order of such Holder at the address designated by the Holder, such an amount of Deposited Securities as are represented hereby
upon the surrender of this Receipt properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer and upon payment of the applicable
fees, taxes and charges. The Depositary shall not incur any liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of this Receipt by reason
of any such forwarding or failure to forward any or all Deposited Securities.
16. CHANGE AFFECTING
DEPOSITED SECURITIES. Upon (i) any change in nominal or par value or any subdivision, combination or any other reclassification
of the Deposited Securities, or (ii) any recapitalization, reorganization, sale of assets, receivership, bankruptcy, liquidation,
merger or consolidation affecting the Company or to which the Company is a party, or (iii) the redemption by an issuer of Deposited
Securities at any time of any or all of such Deposited Securities (provided the same are subject to redemption), then and in any
such case the Depositary shall have the right to exchange or surrender such Deposited Securities and accept and hold hereunder
in lieu thereof other shares, securities, cash or property to be issued or delivered in lieu of, or in exchange for, or distributed
or paid with respect to, such Deposited Securities. Upon any such exchange or surrender, the Depositary shall have the right, in
its discretion, to call for surrender of this Receipt in exchange (upon payment of fees and expenses of the Depositary and all
applicable taxes and governmental or other charges) for one or more new Receipts of the same form and tenor as this Receipt, specifically
describing such new shares, securities, cash or property. In any such case the Depositary shall have the right to fix a date after
which this Receipt shall only entitle the Holder to receive such new Receipt or Receipts. The Depositary shall mail notice of any
redemption of Deposited Securities to the registered Holders of Receipts, provided that, in the case of any redemption of less
than all of the Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall draw in such manner as it shall determine an equivalent number of ADSs
and shall mail notice of redemption only to the Holders of Receipts evidencing the ADS so drawn for redemption in whole or in part.
The sole right of the Holders of Receipts evidencing the ADS designated for redemption after the mailing of any such notice of
redemption shall be to receive the cash, rights, and other property applicable to the same, upon surrender to the Depositary (and
upon payment of its fees and expenses and governmental or other charges) of the Receipts evidencing such ADSs.
17. LIABILITY OF
DEPOSITARY. The Depositary assumes no obligation and shall not incur any liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of this
Receipt (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities and with respect
to the time and rates for conversion of any foreign currency into U.S. dollars) except that it agrees to perform its obligations
specifically set forth in the Receipt without gross negligence or bad faith. The Depositary assumes no obligation and shall not
incur any liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner of this Receipt, if by reason of any provisions of any present or future
law of the United States of America, or of any state thereof, or of any foreign country, or political subdivision thereof, or by
reason of any provision, present or future, of the charter, certificate of incorporation, memorandum or articles of association,
statutes, code of regulations, by-laws or resolutions of the Company, the Depositary shall be prevented or forbidden from, or subjected
to any civil or criminal penalty or extraordinary expense on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which by the terms
hereof it is provided shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary incur any liability to any Holder or Beneficial Owner
hereof by reason of any delay in the performance or non-performance of any act or thing which by the terms hereof it is provided
shall be done or performed, caused as aforesaid or arising out of any act of God or war or any other circumstances beyond its control
or by reason of the financial condition of any third party, or by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion
provided for herein.
The Depositary shall
not be responsible for any failure to carry out any requests to vote or for the manner or effect of any vote made either with or
without request, or for not exercising any right to vote. The Depositary shall be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or
defend, any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any of the Deposited Securities or in respect of the Receipts, which
in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be
furnished as often as may be required. The Depositary shall not be liable for any action or non-action by it in reliance upon the
advice of, or information from, legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder or Beneficial
Owner or any other persons believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.
The Depositary (and
any of its affiliates) may become the owner of, and deal in, securities of any class of the Company of the Deposited Securities,
ADSs and Receipts.
18. AMENDMENT OF
RECEIPTS. The form of the Receipts may at any time and from time to time be amended by the Depositary in any respect which
it may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment which shall prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders shall not become
effective as to outstanding Receipts until the expiration of thirty (30) days after notice of such amendment shall have been given
to the Holders of outstanding Receipts; provided, however, that such thirty (30) days’ notice shall in no event be required
with respect to any amendment which shall impose or increase any taxes or other governmental charges, registration fees, cable,
telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses. Every Holder and Beneficial Owner of ADSs evidenced
by this Receipt at the time any amendment so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADSs, to consent and
agree to such amendment and to be bound by the agreement evidenced in this Receipt as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment
impair the right of the Holder of any Receipt to surrender this Receipt and receive therefore the Deposited Securities represented
by the American Depositary Shares evidenced thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.
19. TERMINATION.
The Depositary may at any time terminate the agreement evidenced by this Receipt and all other Receipts by mailing notice of
such termination to the Holders of all the Receipts then outstanding to them at their addresses appearing upon the books of the
Depositary, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed in such notice for termination. On and after such date of termination,
the Holder hereof, upon surrender of the Receipt at the Corporate Agency Office of the Depositary, will be entitled to delivery
of the amount of the Deposited Securities represented hereby at the termination date upon the same terms and conditions, and upon
payment of a fee at the rates provided herein with respect to the surrender of this Receipt for Deposited Securities and on payment
of applicable taxes and charges. The Depositary may convert any dividends received by it in cash after the termination date in
U.S. Dollars as herein provided, and after deducting therefrom the fees and expenses of Depositary and applicable taxes and governmental
charges, hold the balance of said dividends for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the respective Receipts. As to any Receipts
not so surrendered within thirty (30) days after such date of termination the Depositary shall thereafter have no obligation with
respect to the collection or disbursement of any subsequent dividends or any subscriptions or other rights accruing on the Deposited
Securities. After the expiration of six months from such date of termination, the Depositary may sell any remaining Deposited Securities
in such manner as it may determine, and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale or sales together with
any dividends received prior to such sale or the U.S. Dollars received on conversion thereof, unsegregated and without liability
for any interest thereon, for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the Receipts which have not theretofore been surrendered for
cancellation, such Holders becoming general creditors of the Depositary with respect to such proceeds. After making such sale,
or if no such sale can be made after the expiration of two years from such date of termination, the Depositary shall be discharged
from all obligation whatsoever to the Holders of the Receipts, except to make distribution of the net proceeds of sale and of such
dividends (after deducting all fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary) or of the Deposited Securities in case no sale can
be made upon surrender of the Receipts.
20.
CERTAIN FEES AND CHARGES OF DEPOSITARY. The Depositary may charge depositary transaction fees for (i) issuing ADSs
upon the deposit of Shares, (ii) delivering Deposited Securities against surrendered ADSs, (iii) transferring, splitting or combining
Receipts, (iv) distributing cash, Shares or other property received in respect of the Deposited Securities, and (v) selling or exercising
rights or other entitlements, as well as depositary service fees in respect of the ADSs outstanding and the Deposited Securities held.
The Depositary may also charge any fees, expenses, taxes and governmental charges incurred, directly or indirectly, in respect of the
ADSs, the Deposited Securities and the depositary receipt program existing pursuant to this Receipt and related receipts, including fees
and expenses incurred for currency conversions, for communications, for complying with regulatory requirements applicable to Deposited
Securities, and for registering, holding and delivering Deposited Securities. The Depositary fees and charges may differ from those of
other depositaries and are payable by Holders and by persons depositing Shares for the creation of ADSs or surrendering ADSs for cancellation
and release of Deposited Securities. The Depositary reserves the right to modify, reduce or increase any fees or charges hereunder upon
thirty (30) days' notice to the Holder hereof. The Depositary will provide, without charge, a copy of its latest fee and charges schedule
to any party requesting it.
21.

hereunder and provisions hereof shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made in and to be performed
in that state.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Receipt
or any present or future provisions of the laws of the State of New York, the rights of holders of Shares and of any other Deposited Securities

Citibank, N.A. -- ADR Department
388 Greenwich Street
New York, New York 10013
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form
F-6 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
by Citibank, N.A., as Depositary (the “Depositary”), for the purpose of registering under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended, 50,000,00 American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) to be evidenced by American Depositary Receipt(s)
(the “ADR(s)”) to be issued in the form of the ADR attached as Exhibit (a) to the Registration Statement. The ADR(s)
issued by the Depositary to evidence the ADSs issued pursuant to the Registration Statement will constitute the agreement between the
Depositary and the Holder(s) and Beneficial Owner(s) (each as defined in the form of ADR attached as Exhibit (a) to the Registration Statement)
of the ADR(s) evidencing such ADSs. Each ADS will represent the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the ADR representing
such ADS and the laws of Switzerland, one-fifth (1/5) of one share of common stock (the “Shares”) of DKSH Holding AG,
a company incorporated under the laws of Switzerland.
Nothing contained herein or in any document referred
to herein is intended by this firm to be used, and the addressees hereof cannot use anything contained herein or in any document referred
to herein, as tax advice.
Assuming that, at the time of their issuance, the
Registration Statement will be effective and the Shares will have been legally issued, we are of the opinion that the ADSs, when issued
in accordance with the terms of the ADR(s) and the Registration Statement, will be legally issued and will entitle the Holders of such
ADSs to the rights specified in the ADR(s) representing the ADSs.
This opinion is limited to the laws of the State
of New York and the Federal laws of the United States. Without admitting that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required
under Section 7 of the Securities Act, we hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit (d) to the Registration Statement
filed with the SEC.

Very truly yours, |
