 that occurs by operation of the above limitations will generally be reallocated proportionately among all other shareholders of the Company whose shares were not “controlled shares” of any 9.5% U.S. Shareholder so long as such reallocation does not cause any person to become a 9.5% U.S. Shareholder.

Under these provisions, certain shareholders may have their voting rights limited to less than one vote per share, while other shareholders may have voting rights in excess of one vote per share.

Moreover, these provisions could have the effect of reducing the votes of certain shareholders who would not otherwise be subject to the 9.5% limitation by virtue of their direct share ownership. Our bye-laws provide that shareholders may be notified of their voting interests prior to any vote to be taken by them.

We have the authority to request from any shareholder, and such shareholder is required to provide, such information that we may reasonably request for the purposes of determining whether any shareholder’s voting rights are to be adjusted pursuant to the voting adjustment provisions in our bye-laws described above. If any shareholder fails to respond to this request or submits incomplete or inaccurate information, we may, in our reasonable discretion, eliminate or reduce the shareholder’s voting rights. All information provided by the shareholder shall be treated by us as confidential information and shall be used by us solely for the purpose of establishing whether any 9.5% U.S. Shareholder exists (except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation).

In addition, any ordinary shares will not carry any right to vote to the extent that the Board unanimously determines, in its sole discretion, that it is necessary in order to avoid material adverse tax, legal or regulatory consequences to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any other shareholder or its affiliates, or any direct or indirect investor in, or any other person holding a direct or indirect beneficial or economic ownership interest in, a shareholder of ours, provided that (1) no adjustment in these circumstances shall be made if it would cause any person to become a 9.5% U.S. Shareholder or the Company to become a United Kingdom controlled foreign corporation and (2) prior to making such determination, the Board shall first have (x) consulted with the relevant shareholder and explored alternatives to avoid such consequences and (y) in the case of such determination with respect to Apollo or certain of its affiliates, obtained the prior written consent of Apollo or such affiliates.
