ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

In the British Virgin Islands, a company’s charter documents that are comparable to a US-domestic corporation’s articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws are called Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, respectively. Effective March 26, 2010, we amended the first sentence of Regulation 6.15 of Articles of Association to provide as follows:

“A meeting of Shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than thirty three and one-third (33¹/₃) per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Shareholders to be considered at the meeting.”

The effect of the forgoing amendment is to reduce the number of our outstanding common shares that must be present in person or by proxy in order to hold any meeting of shareholders from no less than 50 percent to no less than 33¹/₃ percent.

A copy of the Amendment to Regulation 6.15 of our Articles of Association as filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands on March 26, 2010 is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2.
