Common Stock 693000 I The Bird Island Trust Common Stock 432700 D The Reporting Person is filing this Form 4 to report on an increase in the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer that he may be considered to own beneficially indirectly through Venner Capital S.A. (formerly LMA International S.A.) ("Venner"). This increase reflects a corporate restructuring in which Venner acquired all of its capital stock not held by, and as a result became wholly-owned by, The Bird Island Trust. The restructuring was undertaken in anticipation of the initial public offering in Singapore of common shares of LMA International N.V. The increase in the Reporting Person's indirect beneficial ownership resulting from such restructuring occurred on the closing date of such initial public offering (March 18,2005). The restructuring did not involve any purchases or sales of the shares of the Issuer's common stock by Venner and did not result in any increase or decrease in Venner's holdings of the shares of the Issuer's common stock. These shares of the Issuer's common stock are held directly by Venner and held by the Reporting Person indirectly through Venner. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or for any other purposes. These shares of the Issuer's common stock are held directly by The Bird Island Trust and held by the Reporting Person indirectly through The Bird Island Trust. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or for any other purposes. s/Thomas Hein, by power of attorney 2005-04-29 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
