APPOINTMENT OF JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS

''Privateco Offer''). Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Joint Announcement unless the context requires otherwise.

On 28 October 2011, the Privateco executed an appointment letter for the appointment of Messis Capital Limited and Veda Capital Limited as the joint independent financial advisers to advise the Independent Privateco Shareholders in respect of the Privateco Offer as to whether the Privateco Offer is, or is not, fair and reasonable, and as to acceptance, pursuant to Rule 2.1 of the Takeovers Code.
