 As of 3:45pm GMT on November 11, 2003, the Issuer filed a notice with the AIM to request a suspension of its tarading. The suspension of trading was requested due to the Issuer's intent to dramatically increase its issued share capital as a consequence of three acquisitions it intended to undertake which were to require substantial additional equity capital. As of that date, the TPG-Axon related entities held no shares in the Issuer. Subsequently, on 1 February, 2008, the Issuer indicated a successful placement of an additional 281,680,000 shares which had the effect of increasing the Issuer's share base to 711,282,000 common shares outstanding (as reported by the Issuer). In that private placement, the TPG-Axon investing companies subject to this notification acquired 108,950,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock. The Issuer resumed trading of its shares subject to a relisting request to the AIM as of 20 February, 2008. At the time of its re-listing, the Issuer issued an additional 97,340,425 shares in connection with transactions that were consummated at or about the same date. At that time and pro-forma for such issuances, the Company had 808,622,425 shares outstanding, with the TPG-Axon related entities thus indirectly owning 13.47%. Subsequently on 13 March 2008, the Issuer issued an additional 362,000,000 shares, increasing its share count to 1,170,622,425 shares and reducing the TPG-Axon related entities indirect ownership to 9.31% This filing is made consistent with DTR 5.1.2(2) to reflect the effective indirect ownership of the TPG-Axon related entities pursuant to the transactions described above.
