FXPI ANATORY NOTES
The purpose of these Explanatory Notes (which forms part of the Notice of Annual Meeting dated 25 June 2007) is to provide shareholders with an explanation of the resolutions to be proposed and considered at the Annual Meeting of the Company to be held on 23 August 2007.
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (RESOLUTIONS 1 and 2)
In accordance with the Corporate Governance Charter adopted by the Board, the longest serving one-third of the Company's Directors (rounded down to the nearest whole number) is expected to retire at each AGM. Accordingly Mr. Bruce Bell and Mr. Fu La, being the longest serving directors, have retired and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Their details are set out on page 10 of the Annual Report.
