Dear Sirs,
Ex-entitlement Trading and Shareholder Approval
We enclose reprinted pages of the GEM Listing Rules and the filing instructions. The reprinted pages incorporate amendments to implement proposals in the Consultation Conclusions on Ex-entitlement Trading and Shareholder Approval published on 20 May 2011.

|
|
|
Require the record date to be set at least 3 business days after the date of shareholder approval (i.e. at least one cum-trading day will be provided); |
| |
|
|
|
Apply the proposed changes to all conditional entitlements that are subject to general meeting approval. |

The amendments will come into effect on 20 June 2011.
