Please kindly be informed that there is one additional resolution of PDI board of directors special meeting/1999 held on 8 March 1999 as follows : - It was resolved that there will be only 3 board members out of the present 9 directors who are due to retire by rotation in the forthcoming 1999 ordinary shareholders meeting instead of 4 board members as initially reported. They are namely Mr. Kosit Panpiemras, Dr. Vuthiphong Priebjrivat (independent director and member of the audit committee) and Dr. Areepong Bhoocha-Oom. The above-revised resolution followed Western Metals Limited (WML)s announcement on 24 February 1999 to rescind the Share Subscription Agreement, which has resulted in the ineffectiveness of the boards precedent appointment of WMLs two additional nominees (namely Mr. Alan James Castleman and Mr. David Geoffrey Benham) to be new directors.
