Re-election of Directors.

Any director appointed during the year is required under the provisions of the Company’s articles of association to retire and seek election by shareholders at the next annual general meeting. The articles also require that one-third of the directors retire by rotation each year and seek re-election at the annual general meeting. The directors required to retire will be those in office longest since their previous re-election. In any event, each director must retire at the third annual general meeting following his appointment or re-appointment in a general meeting. Retiring directors are eligible for re-election by shareholders.
