LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A demand by a proxy for a Shareholder or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative shall be deemed to be the same as a demand by a Shareholder.

Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any Shares by or in accordance with the Bye-laws, at any general meeting on a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative under Section 78 of the Companies Act) or by proxy shall (save as provided otherwise in the Bye-laws) have one vote and on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy (or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative) shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he is the holder (but so that no amount paid or credited as paid on a Share in advance of calls or instalments shall be treated for the foregoing purposes as paid on the Share).

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Resolution, the approval of which will grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase during the period set out in the Repurchase Resolution Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the Repurchase Resolution.

1. SHARE REPURCHASE RULES

The Share Repurchase Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

(a) Shareholders’ Approval

The Share Repurchase Rules provide that all on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchase.

(b) Source of Funds

Share repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the company’s constitutive documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated or otherwise established.

(c) Maximum Number of Shares to be Repurchased and Subsequent Issue

The shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully-paid up. A maximum of 10% of the existing issued share capital of a company as at the date of passing the relevant resolution may be repurchased on the Stock Exchange and a company may not, without the prior approval of the Stock Exchange, issue new shares or announce a proposed new issue of shares for a period of 30 days immediately following a share repurchase whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise (other than an issue of securities pursuant to the exercise of warrants, share options or similar instruments requiring the company to issue securities, which were outstanding prior to the repurchase).

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 5,257,884,381 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Resolution to repurchase a maximum of 525,788,438 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Share repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association, Bye-laws and the applicable law of Bermuda. Pursuant to the Companies Act, the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, the profits that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company.

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the 2007 Annual Report of the Company in the event the Repurchase Proposal were to be carried out in full at any time during the relevant repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate if to an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
