Conversion Offer Shares, he will apply the Conversion Value of such
number of his Bonds as will leave him holding at least 50.1% of the
Bonds remaining in issue following the Conversion Offer. Depending
on the level of participation of other bondholders, this commitment
may constitute a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM

those not involved in the Conversion Offer as a related party,
having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, consider
that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar
as its shareholders are concerned.
