On July 1, 2016 the Board confirmed that it will hold an EGM on July 27, 2016 to seek approval from shareholders
to grant the Board of the Company the discretion to engage in further share buy-backs, should they decide that it is in the
best interest of the shareholders, over the next 15 months. While there is no plan to engage in further planned buy-backs
(i.e. a VWAP program) during the remainder of 2016, the Board is seeking the flexibility and discretion to do so, if there
is further market volatility such as that witnessed in the aftermath of the U.K. Referendum vote.
