It has however authorised it to be stated that, on the basis of the information contained in the Original Circular and in this document (which it advises holders of Affected Securities to read carefully) it has no objection to the form in which the proposals and Notice of Meeting are presented to holders of Affected Securities for their consideration.Holders of the Affected Securities will be notified of the outcome of the Meeting shortly thereafter.
