Mr Mellon was a director of the companies listed below that were dissolved voluntarily, either at the time or within the 12 months preceding such events. ARC Rainbow Fund Regent Pacific CV Hedge Fund RL Country Warrant Fund Taiwan Arbitrage Company Regent KITC Russian Debt Fund The above 5 companies were all mutual investment funds and were dissolved by a shareholders' voluntary liquidation or the equivalent under the jurisdiction of the country of incorporation. There were no unsatisfied creditors. Mr Mellon was previously a director of Regent Global Fund that went into liquidation on November 2001 and Undervalued Assets Greater China Fund Series III that went into liquidation in December 2001. These companies were mutual investment funds and were placed into liquidation with the consent of shareholders as the Directors recommended that due to a decline in the size of the funds, they were uneconomic. There were no unsatisfied creditors. An arrest warrant was issued in South Korea against Mr Mellon in December 2000 and remains outstanding. The warrant was issued following malicious allegations made by a former business partner of KoreaOnline Limited and Mr Mellon believes there is no substance to these allegations. The Korean authorities and Mr Mellon's Korean counsel have been unable to discover any evidence, either written or otherwise, in support of the allegations. However, the arrest warrant still stands because of Korean legal practice. There are no further disclosures to be made under Schedule 2(f) of the AIM Rules.
