On 3 April 2009, the Company sent a circular to Shareholders containing, among 
other things, details of the proposals, the terms and conditions of the Scheme, 
notice convening the EGM and details of the action to be taken by Shareholders. 
 
 
The Board of the Company is pleased to announce that at the EGM held earlier

requisite majority of Independent Shareholders on a show of hands. In addition, 
Shareholders passed the special resolution by the requisite majority on a show 
of hands to approve: (i) the Proposals; (ii) amendments to the Articles of the 
Company to facilitate the Proposals; (iii) the winding-up of the Company and 
appointment of the Liquidators; (iv) the remuneration of the Liquidators; (v)

residual assets to 3i in return for the issue of New 3i Shares and payment of
