The Company filed an amendment to such extraordinary report pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Article 24-5 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law because a meeting of its Board of Directors held on January 29, 2008 authorized the execution of the corporate split agreement and, following such resolution, the Company executed such agreement on January 30, 2008.
The Company hereby files an amendment to such extraordinary report pursuant to Paragraph 5 of Article 24-5 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law because consideration for corporate split has been finalized as of September 30, 2008.
