The Proposed Amendments are being sought to permit LM Group Holding to raise additional funds to fund expansion through increased manufacturing capacity in key emerging markets and new growth sectors within its industry.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions as set out in the meeting notice (the "Notice of Noteholders' Meeting"), LM Group Holding will pay a consent fee to consenting noteholders eligible to receive such fee if the Proposed Amendments are approved at the noteholders' meeting.
