measure from the bylaws, the so-called | 'fundamental | understood that such a provision would give more security to shareholders that there | |

it happened, the shareholder would not be harmed in his investment. The Company | |||
believes that the standing clause, provided for in paragraph 11 of Article 39 of the | |||
Bylaws, still holds the same importance, justifying its maintenance. | |||
