Board Recommendation
The Board believe that the Company’s proposed refinancing transactions provide the best available solution to the Company’s capital needs. A failure to pass any resolution to be put to the EGM by the requisite majority will result in the proposed financing transactions not proceeding and therefore result in great uncertainty for the future of the Company and likely significant destruction of shareholder value. Consequently, the board of directors of the Company unanimously recommends a vote “for” each of the resolutions set out in this proxy voting form.
