Please note the following amendment in the Judgment handed down on 30 May 2006:

On page 12 at paragraph 22, the last sentence should read:

“The fact that the Takeover Code of the Securities and Futures Commission in force at that time required a general offer to be made when a shareholding of 35% is achieved is a reflection of the perception that a 35% shareholding would almost undoubtedly command control of a company.”

Dated this 6th day of June 2006.
