 extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.
Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records (other than copies of our memorandum and articles of association and register of mortgages and charges, and any special resolution passed by our shareholders). However, we intend to provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements.
Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

●   does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

●   is not required to open its register of members for inspection;
-------------------------------------------------------------------

●   does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
----------------------------------------------------

●   may issue negotiable or bearer shares or shares with no par value;
----------------------------------------------------------------------

●   may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

●   may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

●   may register as a limited duration company; and
---------------------------------------------------

●   may register as a segregated portfolio company.
