CUSIP NO. G98285102
Schedule 13 G


Explanatory Note
     This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G (“Amendment No. 1”) is an amendment to the initial statement on Schedule 13G, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2008, of Xinhua Finance Limited (the “Record Holder”). This Amendment No. 1 reflects the conversion by the Record Holder of all Class B Common Shares owned by the Record Holder into an equivalent number of Class A Common Shares. The Class B Common Shares were entitled to ten votes per share, as opposed to one vote per share for Class A Common Shares. As a result, the voting power of the Record Holder has been reduced.
