 such business would benefit the Company and would be conducive to attaining our objectives contained within our memorandum of association. In the event we were to merge or amalgamate with another company, the holders of all of our shares are entitled to vote on such merger or amalgamation together pursuant to the Companies Act provided that the holders of any class of shares would be entitled to vote as a separate class, if the merger or amalgamation agreement contains a provision that would constitute a variation of the rights of such class of shares. In the case of an amalgamation or merger, any shareholder who is not satisfied that it has been offered fair value for its shares and who has not voted in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger or amalgamation agreement and the merger or amalgamation, may exercise its appraisal rights under the Companies Act to have the fair value of its shares appraised by the Supreme Court of Bermuda. The court ordinarily would not disapprove the transaction on that ground absent evidence of fraud or bad faith.

Under Delaware law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. Under Delaware law, a stockholder may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights in connection with a merger, consolidation or conversion to another entity form pursuant to which such stockholder may receive payment in cash of the “fair value” of such stockholder’s shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, consolidation or conversion, together with interest, if any, to be paid on the amount determined to be the fair value, in each case as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, in lieu of the consideration such stockholder would otherwise receive in the transaction.

Dissenting shareholders may apply to the court within
