An Extraordinary General Meeting of GT Japan (the "EGM") was held on 9

Both of the resolutions proposed at the EGM were passed and the scheme of
reconstruction and liquidation of GT Japan (the "Scheme") as described in Part
3 of the circular to shareholders dated 28 September 2001 became effective.

GT Japan shareholders that elected or were deemed to have elected for shares

have received approximately 0.96 units for every one ordinary share in GT
Japan (rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a unit).
