The Shares beneficially owned by GEEB, TIP Holdings, TIP Overseas and GE Capital consist of 320,000 Ordinary Shares (which reflects a 10 for 1 share consolidation effected by the Issuer on December 31, 2002) which GEEB has the right to acquire pursuant to a convertible debenture issued to GEEB by Schoeller Logistics Technologies Holding GmbH in the amount of Deutche Marks (DM) 45.0 million (or approximately US $22.1 million). GEEB may require conversion of the debenture into 320,000 Ordinary Shares (which, before the share consolidation, equaled a number of shares whichconstituted 16% of the capital stock of the Issuer prior to its initial public offering) or into 16% of ordinary shares of Schoeller Logistics Technologies Holding GmbH. If the value of the 320,000 Ordinary Shares into which the debenture is convertible decreases to an amount less than DM 45.0 million, GEEB would then have the option to demand payment of the DM 45.0 million in cash, and Schoeller Logistics Industries GmbH would have the option, in its sole discretion, to instead make payment to GEEB in the form of an aggregate number of Ordinary Shares equal to DM 45.0 million. (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Row (11) of the cover pages of this statement on Schedule 13G are incorporated herein by reference. As of December 31, 2002, GEEB, TIP Holdings, TIP Overseas and GE Capital beneficially owned in the aggregate 320,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.7% of the Ordinary Shares determined in accordance 13d-3(d)(1) (based on 43,483,718 Ordinary Shares reported as outstanding as of January 10, 2003, by the Issuer in its Form 6-K dated January 10, 2003). (c) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (5) through (8) of the cover pages of this statement are incorporated herein by reference.
