The following disclosures are being made under Schedule 2(f) of the AIM Rules:
Mr Mellon was a director of bigsave UK Ltd, at the time the company went into
administration in October 2002. bigsave UK Ltd is a subsidiary of bigsave
Holdings plc, and the administration is part of a current restructuring exercise
to streamline the holding company.
Mr Mellon was a director of the companies listed below that were dissolved
voluntarily, either at the time or within the 12 months preceding such events.
ARC Rainbow Fund
Regent Pacific CV Hedge Fund
RL Country Warrant Fund
Taiwan Arbitrage Company
Regent KITC Russian Debt Fund
The above 5 companies were all mutual investment funds and were dissolved by a
shareholders voluntary liquidation or the equivalent under the jurisdiction of
the country of incorporation. There were no unsatisfied creditors.
Mr Mellon was previously a director of Regent Global Fund that went into
liquidation on November 2001 and Undervalued Assets Greater China Fund Series
III that went into liquidation in December 2001. These 2 companies were mutual
investment funds and were placed into liquidation with the consent of
shareholders as the Directors recommended that due to a decline in the size of
the funds, they were uneconomic. There were no unsatisfied creditors.
An arrest warrant was issued in South Korea against Mr Mellon in December 2000
and remains outstanding. The warrant was issued following malicious allegations
made by a former business partner of KoreaOnline Limited and Mr Mellon believes
there is no substance to these allegations. The Korean authorities and Mr
Mellon's Korean council have been unable to discover any evidence, either
written or otherwise, in support of the allegations. However, the arrest
warrant still stands because of Korean law practice.
There are no further disclosures to be made under Schedule 2(f) of the AIM
Rules.
