Appendix re AIM Rules requirements:
In the last five years, Mr Craven was a partner of Azemos Partner AG (October
2004 to December 2006) and managing director of Carrier1 International GmbH
('GmbH'), the Swiss subsidiary of Carrier1 International S.A (January 2002 to
February 2003). He was appointed to the latter role shortly before GmbH filed
for protection from creditors resulting from Carrier1 International S.A.'s
filing for insolvency in February 2002. In that role, he led the liquidation of
the group's assets and businesses as well as the reduction of its liabilities.
The insolvency resulted from the inability of Carrier1 International S.A. (for
technical reasons under Luxembourg law) to proceed with a financial
restructuring with bondholders.
There is no further information to disclose in accordance with Schedule Two (g)
of the AIM Rules.
