The Bermuda Court also made an order that save as are specifically set out in the Appointment Order, the Board shall continue to manage the Company's affairs in all respects and exercise the powers conferred upon it by the Company's Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws, provided always that, should the JPLs consider at any time that the Board is not acting in the best interests of the Company and its creditors and shareholders, the JPLs shall have the power to report same to the Bermuda Court and seek such directions from the Bermuda Court as the JPLs are advised are appropriate.

Following the appointment of the JPLs pursuant to the Appointment Order, the JPLs informed the Company that they will seek or apply for their appointment to be recognised by the Hong Kong Court (the "Recognition Application") if they consider appropriate.

The Company will make further announcements to update the shareholders of the Company and potential investors on the development of the Bermuda Petition, the Hong Kong Petition and the Recognition Application as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules. As of the date of this announcement, the Company and its subsidiaries are still carrying out their day-to-day operations under the management of the Board.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
