    The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Ilyas Khan (aged 45) and Stephen Smith (aged 39) to the Board as Non-Executive
Directors, with immediate effect.

    Ilyas is the founder and Chairman of Techpacific Capital (now renamed Crosby Capital Limited or "CCL"), an investment holding company

Trust plc. CCL is a 14.8% shareholder of UPS.
    
Stephen works for the JS Group, a leading financial services group and diversified investor in Pakistan, managing the US$158 million JS
Private Equity Fund, targeting Pakistani expansion capital and buyout opportunities, and is responsible for JS activities outside Pakistan.
Stephen sits on several JS boards including the holding company, its international mutual funds and private equity business. Prior to JS,
Stephen worked at Ernst & Young before joining European Capital and advising on over US$2 billion of corporate and project financings. 
Stephen then joined Techpacific Capital, a Hong Kong fund management firm, where he became Group CFO before joining JS.

    Joanna Barrett has resigned as a Non-Executive Director, with immediate effect, in order to focus her attention on other personal
interests. The Board wishes to thank Joanna for her contribution and wishes her success in all her future endeavours.
