duly passed. In addition, all the requisite resolutions proposed at the Court
Meeting of AOT Shareholders and the Extraordinary General Meeting of AOT, both
held today, to effect the proposed merger of Oryx and AOT by way of the Scheme
of Arrangement were also duly passed.

It is expected that Oryx will announce on the Effective Date the number of New
Oryx Ordinary Shares that the AOT Shareholders will receive for every 1,000 AOT
Shares that are held by AOT Shareholders.

Terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as in the documents
sent to shareholders issued by Oryx and AOT on 21 December 2006.
