[1]Based on past experience, the first Extraordinary General Meeting of 28 March
2013 will not attain the required attendance quorum - i.e. that at least 50% of
the capital must be represented - and thus this Meeting will not be able to
decide validly. Only the second Extraordinary General Meeting of 24 April 2013
will be able to deliberate and decide.
