 majority of independent directors. Foreign private issuers and controlled companies, however, are exempt from this requirement. Under Bermuda law and our bye-laws, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors, and we currently do not have a majority of independent directors on our Board.

Additionally, because we are a foreign private issuer, our directors and senior management will not be subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. All shareholders, however, will be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies.

#### Controlled Company Status
Following this offering, the Apollo Shareholders will collectively beneficially own approximately 86.7 % of our ordinary shares (or 84.9 % if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional ordinary shares from the selling shareholders). As a result, we will be a “controlled company” under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE applicable to listed companies, and therefore are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements thereunder. Under the NYSE corporate governance rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain requirements of the NYSE corporate governance standards, including (i) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) the requirement that we have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (iii) the requirement that our director nominations be made, or recommended to the Board, by a nominating committee that consists entirely of independent directors and that we adopt a written charter addressing the nominations process. We may take advantage of certain of these exemptions, and, as a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements. In the event that

we cease to be a “controlled company,” we will be required to comply with these provisions within the transition periods specified in the NYSE corporate governance rules.
