-    Conversion of the Company`s share capital from no par value shares         
    to par value shares. This will result in an increase in the Euro

shares subject to certain limitations.                                      
-    Transfer of the Company`s registered office from Luxembourg to             
    Malta.                                                                      
-    Appointment of directors and auditors.                                     
-    Approval of Maltese-law-compliant Memorandum and Articles of
